Menu Plan Monday Aug 22

I didn't do a plan last week because Troy was gone and I was giving the kids free reign for dinner. We ate out once so I think that we did great!

This week is a little of the same. Troy is gone for a few days but I felt pretty frazzled last week so I won't be doing the "willy nilly" when it comes to dinner. I won't be serving 5 star meals but they will be planned by gosh!

Pizza with green salad

Beef Stew and homemade cheddar/garlic biscuits

Greek chicken and Rice and caprese salad

Chicken tenders and fresh veggies with potato crowns

Leftovers/ free for all

Grilled Hamburgers and corn on the cob

Grilled Chicken Ceasar Salad

Hoping to make some banana muffins or bread for the kids lunches/snacks this week. Bananas seem to turn so fast these days.

Our PTA is the best!

If I do say so myself! We planned our first "Under the Stars" movie night and it was a huge success!

The plan was for our School families to come and mingle for a couple of hours while having dinner and allowing the children to do a craft and play. Then once it got dark, we started the movie. We had tons of people show up as it was getting dark and so far the response has been 100% positive! MAddie and a couple of her friends claiming their spots for ultimate viewing!

Wyatt(in green) with his best buddy!

First Day of School

Today I have a 2nd and 5th grader! Maddie is in her last year of elementary school and that has been pretty hard for me to swallow today. She is so little that I just can't see her going off to middle school next year. And in case you can't tell, Maddie is on the right in the picture above. And yes her 2nd grade sister is almost the same height! Now you know why I say she is little still!

But we are all looking forward to a great year. Maddie has an awesome 5th grade trip in the spring and Sophie has the "duck project" this year. And they are both fortunate to have spectacular teachers. Each of them will be a perfect match for the girls' temperments. Fun stuff!
