Here it is, as promised, the first of my weekly menu's. I have decided to only do breakfast and dinner, as lunch time is really the same everyday, minus the occasional leftovers.

Breakfast: (served with juice and fruit)

Monday - Pancakes

Tuesday - Cinnamon toast

Wednesday - Eggs & grits

Thursday - French toast

Friday - eggs

Saturday - homemade muffins

Sunday - pancakes

Dinner

Monday - Hamburgers, chips, salad

Tuesday - Roast Chicken, Rice, Broccoli, rolls

Wednesday - Spaghetti, bread, salad

Thursday - Ham, hash browns, green beans

Friday - Homemade pizza, salad

Saturday - Talapia (fish), Rice, corn, sliced tomatoes
Sunday - Crock pot BBQ chicken, rolls, salad

Okay...so as if I don't have enough to do at the moment, I thought I would take another stab at creating weekly menu's. I am hoping that this will aid in slowing down my impending "vacation" to the funny farm, along with cutting down on our food bill (all those unnecessary buys) and it will also be nice to actually have an answer to the daily, sometimes hourly question....OK so in my house its more like every 3 minutes.... "WHAT'S FOR DINNER?????"

I would like to find time each Sunday to post my weekly menu's for you to read....and maybe inspire some of you to join me. If I am feeling really motivated I might even share a few recipes and as always I welcome any advice or feedback from all of you!

Till Sunday then....ta ta!

The anatomy of a temper tantrum.....

These pictures really speak for themselves, but had to post them because I think they are so funny. Jack has taken a liking to temper tantrums. I am not sure why. As with each child we have had, temper tantrum were short lived, if at all, because they never got what they wanted when they would "throw one". However, Jack seems to be particularly stubborn and just keeps trying to see if one day they will work for him. Someone should tell him he is number 4 and if they haven't worked on the first 3, I certainly won't be letting him get away with them.

Oh and this particular tantrum was over a "c-o-o-k-i-e".

Happy Easter

Maddie and Bethany had an Easter party this weekend.

It was the sweetest party...and you would never believe how quiet the girls were.

It was so nice. We had strawberry salad (a favorite of maddie's) and strawberry cake.

An Egg hunt, and lots of girlie decorations. It was so much fun!

HAPPY SPRING !!!!!

I am so excited to be out working in the garden again. The last few weeks I have been watching the seedings grow and lean towards the sunfilled window. These few seeds were a little over zeleous and decided that even without some soil they would sprout. I guess I am not the only one excited about spring time. We have had a nasty bout of sickness in our house the last few weeks. Although we are all on the mend it seems to really have taken a toll on all of us. I think that a little fresh air and garden time will be good for all of us. Just something about it that makes me smile.
