Busy, busy!

We have been so busy lately, it is insane! The boys have been doing swimming lessons for the past 3weeks, and this is the last week. They are doing great! I can't believe how much of a difference it has made. The only problem was I had to choose the session that was during dinner time so I didn't have to take the daycare kids too. So now I've been having to sit down and plan my dinner menu a little bit different than normal. Everything has to either go in the slow cooker or in the oven so when we get home dinner is ready or will take minimal effort to get it on the table. I normally plan my dinner menu out for the week on Sat morning and then make a grocery list. I find if I don't, then dinner is hard to figure out or we're more likely to eat out or order pizza.
Last week I was so proud, every nite I had something ready when we got home from lessons!

Mon-Steak in the oven-Melt in your mouth, rice, cauliflower
Tues-Pulled Pork with sourdough bread and beans
Wed-Biscuits w/beef & veggie soup over
Thurs-Slow cooker stuffed meatloaf, homemade applesauce, sourdough bread
Fri-Chicken cooked with stewed tomatoes/olives/corn/black beans and in tortillas w/cheese

*Most nights, we also have a green salad with dinner*

All dinners turned out great and it was so nice to have something ready to go! So this week's menu:

Mon- Spaghetti-Didn't get it going early enough, so we had waffles :-)
Tues- Stroganof with crunchy noodles
Wed-Whole chicken w/veggies
Thurs-Stuffed noodles w/spinach & mushrooms
Fri-we will be head outta town-leftovers!

 Since I'm trying to get back into the habit of making a menu, I will try to post one on here each week to help motivate me!! We will be at the State Fair Friday though next Wed, so I will skip next week. Good luck to anyone else making a menu!

Kids and technology!

This was one of those priceless moments that shows how different my older 2 boys are!
Thursday night at Walmart Austin went in to the bathroom to poop and was sitting there when the toilet automatically flushed on him. He looks down at the water then back up and says "Wait, I didn't poop yet!" Just like, "what the heck, how rude"! It was too funny and totally in character for him!
Now Cody on the other hand, would freak out and we would have to put something over the sensor so he would even go potty! Even now, he gets upset if the toilet flushes on him!
They may be brothers and alike in so many ways, but this just shows how different they really are!!
