Snowy House & Menu Plan Monday

We woke up this morning to about 3 inches of fluffy snow! I know I've said this before but I love the snow! Layla and I passed a herd of moose on the way to work/school this morning. They were just hanging out in a field. Here's some pic's I snapped this morning

Our deck off our bedroom

Snowy House!  

A tree at work.

Sorry the first two are so dark, it's still pretty dark at 6:00am. I've got a short week this week so only 3 dinners but I'll count yesterday's too.

Sunnday: Shepherd’s Pie

Monday: Chicken something, I meant to throw some in the crock pot and make taco's or something but I was blinded by the snow and forgot.

Tuesday: Breakfast

Wednesday: Pizza!

Weekend Round Up & Menu Plan

What a relaxing weekend! It was great! I’ll start on Thursday since that’s when my weekend started.

Thursday: Layla and I slept in until about 8:30am. We got up and got ready, returned some shoes and then met my friend Jen for lunch. The place we wanted to go was closed, like shut down closed. So we went to Jen’s part time job, Azteca Mexican restaurant. After that Jen came home with us and I put Layla down for a nap. She slept until just before Ben got home. I ordered some pizza and we all hung out. Ben put the kiddo to bed and Jen and I went to do a little Christmas shopping.

Friday: Surprised Ben with picking him up for lunch! Went home put the kiddo down for a nap and caught up on Grays and Private Practice. Then cleaned house and hung out the family when Ben got home. That night we had two couple friends over and played Cranium, so. Much. Fun! Ben and I rocked it!

Saturday: Just hung out, our power went out for a few hours, my mom stopped by. That night we watched two movies and just relaxed!

Sunday: I wasn’t feeling too good; I took some expired Benadryl because my allergies were driving me crazy and slept most of the day!

Monday Menu!

Sunday: Made crock pot French dips, fries and creamed corn.

Monday: Chicken Parm. Noodles and some sort of veggie.

Tuesday: Something easy….

Wednesday: Crock pot chili

Thursday: Dinner with a friend. Ben and Layla are on their own!

Friday: ??

Saturday: Again I don’t know.

Sunday: Something in the crock pot, I’m thinking Potato Soup!

Weekend Recap & Meal Plan

Friday: We toured another daycare/preschool at lunch. This one felt good. Ben and I carpooled… I really don’t know why. I wasn’t a good idea, I get off work a ½ an hour earlier then him and coming from dropping Layla off at Aprill’s my exit is after his… But he kept the car. So I got off work at 4 and waited. When he got here we headed to get Layla and finally made it home at 6:00. I had a Partylite party to be at, at 6:30 so I rushed back out of the house. The party was good, wine, food, friends and a few fall candles. After I ran to Target to wonder by myself. I found a cute clearance box:

Saturday: I woke up late for my hair appt. Then spent 4 hours getting my hair done, agh the price for nice hair. When I got home Ben and I finished cleaning out the garage and I can officially park my car in there! It’s amazing! Ben went on a dump run and my Mom stopped by. When Layla got up from her nap we went to Goodwill and bought Ben a snow blower! Went home made English muffin pizzas and put the kiddo to bed. Ben went to a friend’s house and I caught up on some TV and laid in bed. It was nice!


Sunday: We decided on the preschool that we had seen on Friday! YES! So we took Layla to get a bang trim for “school” and to Target to get a few supplies. She is beyond excited to go to school and make new friends! She kept saying “I make new friends Momma!” “Layla’s a big girl, go to school!” It’s too cute. After that the day was spent doing laundry, cleaning, watching the Seahawks sloppily win and barbequing chicken in the wind


Layla starts school on Wednesday, but until then my Mom’s BFF Stacy & my #2 Mom is staying with us to watch her during the days. I hope Ms. Layla Louise doesn’t walk all over her! Friday Layla’s new school is having a Fall Party that I hope to go so we can meet a few of the parents. Ben has his best friend’s wedding rehearsal at 4:30pm so it will just be Layla at I. After that is will be a quick trip to take Layla to my Mom’s and then back into town for my brother’s girlfriend’s birthday party. We have the wedding on Saturday and then taking Layla a few places to trick or treat on Sunday. Probably down to our old neighborhood.
