Weekend Update

Seems like I'm averaging about 1 post a month right now- :) 

This weekend was busy for me.  I've got a couple of sickies in my house right now.  Daniel came home from daycare on Thursday with a fever.    We promptly went off to the Dr. on Friday morning and found out that the poor little guy had an ear infection both ears.  He had fever on and off all weekend which was kinda frustrating.  It looks like he's better enough to head off to daycare this morning and feeling a better (although not completely himself).   Jesse had a nagging cough and has gotten worse so he is going to shoot in this morning to take care of a few things at work and then come home to rest.  I will be going back to work because I'm in the middle of year end....the busyness never stops!

Because of all the sickness I spent all day Saturday at home except for a big grocery run in the evening.  Then on Sunday I went walking with my friend Jessica and then came home and cooked.  I'm really digging this website called OnceAMonthMom.  It's a freeze ahead meal preparation site.  They come up with a menu, a grocery list, and instructions to cook for your family for a whole month.  I didn't make everything they had for the January Traditional Menu because the breakfast stuff isn't really our style but I did make- 2 Mexican Shepherd's Pies, 1 Sloppy Joes, 1 French Dip, 1 Greek Chicken, 1 Terriyaki Honey Chicken, and 1 Meatloaf.   Plus I made mac and cheese with chicken for us last night so it was busy!  I still have some baking and a couple of breakfast items I want to make tonight but we'll see how I'm doing because Monday's usually wipe me out.  I'm glad that I'm able to do this though because it really sets me up to have more time to spend with Daniel and Jesse this week.  I feel like I might finally be hitting a groove. 


So- happy Monday and here's a picture of my pretty freezer with all the food I made this weekend :)
