Jenna...and Wednesday's Menu

Jenna lost two teeth last week! I think the tooth fairy has officially went broke. Here is a picture of her. She has a white nose and rabbit ears because she did a book report and had to bring a prop or dress in character so that is why she looks silly.

Wed.....hot dogs and ff

Thursday: swiss chicken

Friday.....appetizer night

Saturday.....going to a Cane's game with $1 hot dogs

Sunday.....we were going to have a super bowl party, but changed our minds.....not sure what we will do

Monday: shrimp and french fries

Tuesday: spaghetti and garlic bread

My menu isn't the greatest for the week.......I need quick things as I have been working.....getting home at 4, starting homework, cooking dinner, etc!

Menu Wednesday

Do you ever have one of those weeks where you are being pulled in different directions.....when you wonder how on earth everything is going to come together? Well, this is one of those weeks. I had my day all planned out today. I even broke everything down by times so that I could keep a schedule! I was on the elliptical and got a phone call from preschool wanting me to come in a sub. Well, there went my day! I managed to get a few groceries and had to put everything else on hold. I'm working the next two days, and have a ton of things to get done by this weekend. I'm just praying it will all come together. I should be ok by Sunday night!! Here is the menu for the week:

Wednesday: shrimp and french fries
Thursday: Ham and cheese roll ups (hoping to get out to our ladies group)
Friday: pizza (Josh is having a friend over)
Saturday: taco salad (we didn't use all the shells from last week)
Sunday: Josh's birthday......out to eat
Monday: bacon and Parmesan pasta (by request from the kids)
Tuesday: swiss chicken

Have a great week!

Meal Planning Wednesday

Whew....my week got thrown off. I was scheduled to work yesterday and then got called in today. Yeah for work, but bad because this is grocery day! Needless to say, I had raid my freezer and pantry and was able to come up with hamburger rice casserole for tonight. Everything else will just have to be pushed down a day.

Wednesday----hamburger rice casserole
Thursday-----chicken and dumplings
Friday: taco salad
Saturday? hoping for date night
Sunday: subs, 7 layer dip (playoffs)
Monday: Chili casserole
Tuesday: crock pot lasagna

Wednesday Menu Week

I decided to go back to putting my menus down. I'm doing this because I put my list in my purse and then sometimes lose it and I forget what I had planned for dinner (and that is what happened last night). I totally went blank and so I improvised and had pancakes, eggs, bacon and hash browns.

Wednesday: chicken nuggets and french fries (I had a big lunch today so I will just eat fruit tonight)

Thursday: I will be gone and Jack is taking the kids to McDonald's for 69 cent cheeseburgers (In Raleigh)

Friday: got invited to friends house for dinner

Saturday: Steak and baked potatoes

Sunday: pizza (in honor of football playoffs)

Monday: spaghetti and garlic bread

Tuesday: chicken dish....(i have frozen chicken breasts in the freezer) probably chicken and dumplings or baked chicken with sides.

Washington Trip Day 2 and stuff

Julia Child's kitchen

Friday morning we woke up and had our BIG breakfast. The kids loved eating as much as they wanted. It helped cut down on our expenses too! We headed into DC and visited the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. The kids LOVED the dinosaur exhibit. We didn't have as much time as we wanted so we left and went to the American History Museum. You could stay a day here for sure!! We didn't get to see the entire museum (3 floors) so I was a little disappointed. It's like NY.....there is so much to see and not enough time. After that we went to the US Capital for a tour of that.

On a separate note, today is my time to start 2 week grocery shopping. I did it last time, and then had a meal delivered to us and then we went on vacation, so we really need to get to the store. Here is our menu:

BBQ ribs/corn on cob/rice

Cream cheese chicken/potatoes

Appetizer night

meatballs

burritos

pancakes, eggs, bacon

chicken nuggets/french fries

chicken ceasar wraps

breaded chicken breast

durham bulls baseball game/company picnic

cheeseburgers/ff

roast, corn, potatoes

tacos

salad/baked potato
