Meal Plan Monday

Wanted to throw in a few comments before I share our meals for the week. When I was in VA Beach last time, visiting with Amanda, she mentioned that it looks like we hardly ever have any vegetables with our meals. It definitely looks that way from my meal plans, but we DO have vegetables, I just don't plan those ahead of time. I just find whatever we have available when the time comes to make dinner, as far as veggies go. :)

Also, the reason I never have a plan for Sunday is because Sunday is a "free-for-all" day for us, if you will. Actually, for the past couple months, someone in our lifegroup brings food every week, so we usually are not hungry when we get home. Even if that's not the case, we just eat whatever we can find on Sunday nights. Oftentimes something from the freezer... pizza, bagel bites, pizza rolls, something along those lines. I know, healthy, right? :)

On to this week's plan... minus vegetables and Sunday. :)

Anthony has freshman orientation at school, so I'll be at Mom's for dinner :)

I'm going to a wedding in the afternoon, so probably won't be making a real meal, and this is the day before Ashley's shower, so I most likely will be busy making desserts for the shower!

Meal Plan Monday... Late Again

Can't believe it's August already!! We were gone to VA Beach this past weekend again so I'm late with the meal plan since we just got home last night. Had a great time with family, got to meet our new nephew Jack, and my best friend, Amanda's new baby Maribel. I got to spend LOTS of time cuddling her and even got to be there for her first real bath! These new babies are giving me major baby fever! :) We also went to Busch Gardens on Friday and Monday and of course had lots of fun there. On to the meal plan!

Monday

Busted...

Two weeks ago, I was out in the living room and Bailey had wandered into the bathroom, like she often does. However, this time was different. I'm sitting on the couch and I hear the water come on. Before I went to assess the situation, I thought to myself, "I think I might want my camera for this", and I was right.

This is what I peeked around the corner to see...



















She had figured out that she could climb up onto the toilet, turn on the water, and "brush" her teeth all by herself!















And now, she won't stop! She "brushes" her teeth multiple times a day.

Just more evidence that my baby is not so much a "baby" anymore. Ohhhh, but I wouldn't change her for the world.

Another Catch-Up

Ugh! Can't believe it's been almost another week already. This week has been kind of a crazy, busy week, hence the reason I went almost a week without posting! Here's a recap of where this week went...

Monday:: Got home from VA Beach

Tuesday:: "Recovering" from weekend away; Went to a family member's jewelry party; Brought Zoe home to spend the night; Bailey throws up (first "real" throw up); Zoe goes home; Bailey spends the next 3 hours in a cycle of throw up-clean up-try to settle back down for sleep-repeat multiple times.

Wednesday:: Spend lots of time with Bailey cuddling on the couch; Don't even take a shower (Come on, I can't be the only one who misses a day of showering every now and then, especially due to a sick child???); Bailey seems mostly better but I stay home from church with her so we don't spread any germs she may possibly have.

Thursday:: Work @ Staunton Foods. Going to be working on Mondays and possibly another day or half-day here and there for the rest of the summer. Figure out Bailey is working on 3 (almost 4) molars and is super cranky. Zoe comes over to spend the night. Up late with 2 hyper girls that don't want to sleep. Finally sleep, with both girls in bed with me and Anthony on the couch (by his choice, Zoe usually sleeps on our floor). I'm sure, between the two of us, he slept much better than me!

Friday:: Spend the morning/afternoon trying to console teething child. Forced to take a nap with her since she will not sleep in her crib (you won't hear me complaining about this). Make a trip to Kroger then head over to Mom's for a few minutes. On to the Draft Lawn Party to eat chicken and watch parade. Bailey sleeps in her own bed!

Saturday:: Wonderful hubby lets me go out to yard sales and Target while he keeps Bailey. Wonderful hubby lets me take a nap and entertains Bailey while she was supposed to be laying down for a nap with me. Wonderful hubby helps with doing some cleaning. Quiet evening at home, and watched a really good movie, Enemy of the State.

Sunday:: Church, lunch, wedding planning, trip to Michael's, more wedding planning, lifegroup, home.


And now, here we are, ready to start another week. This summer is going WAY too fast! Here's to hoping I do a little better with the blog this week!
