They’re almost here!
Posted by: | CommentsMy sister, her boyfriend, and their baby are on their way!!! I can’t wait to see little R.J. He was born at 34 weeks, in January. He did pretty well for a preemie — 4lb, (I forget the oz!), and his lungs were just fine — he spent NO time in the NICR. Now, at 4 months three months (duh), he just weighed in today at 12 lb! He’s growing just fine.
So I probably won’t be blogging much this weekend — I’ll be lovin’ on this little smushy-poo:

Menu Plan Monday
Posted by: | Comments
I’m so glad I can play this week! Last week was a make-whatever-you-can-out-of-whatever-you-can-find kind of week. But payday was Thursday and I’m all set for this week and most of next week.
I make my menu plans for two weeks out, and start on Thursday, so I’ve taken some of the Menus4Moms stuff for this week, some for last, and added in some of my own.
Monday – Easy Garden Alfredo (actually I switched it to the Alfredo Carbonara recipe on the back of the Ragu alfredo sauce jar!), hotrolls left from Sunday, salad
Tuesday – Ham-n-Broccoli Quiche
Wednesday – Beef Vegetable Stew w/Cornbread
Thursday – Baked Chicken with Baked Asparagus (Menus4Moms has fried ham, but I’m all hammed out at this point)
Friday – Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Tomato Soup
Saturday – Leftovers
Sunday – Stuffed Crockpot Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and some vegetable (my kids would totally rebel at cabbage and onions. It’s not a fave of mine, either, so not worth a battle.)
Then we’ll be back to Monday. I have it planned, but think I’ll save it for next week’s MPM.
Just overheard . . .

Monkey Boy (playing playdough at said table): Where’s the shepherd?
Mommy: What? Oh, the shepherd? There is no shepherd, it’s just called shepherd’s pie.
Monkey Boy: No, the man shepherd. Where is he?
Mommy: We don’t have a shepherd honey.
Monkey Boy (still hasn’t looked up from his playdough): Oh.
