meals for the week 12.4.11 through 12.10.11

hi, remember me?
yeah, i know... it's been forever since i've been blogging... probably not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but for my small reader group, maybe you've missed me? :) orrr, maybe not :) hehe :)
life is just so busy...there's rarely downtime these days with a 3 year old and an almost 10 month old (who rarely nap at the same time these days)... and i started a little part-time job as a teacher in the after-school program at my "old" school (where i used to work)... while we're all doing fine, it seems like this momma is treading water and adding more things to her "to do" list :)

i'll try to do better...i haven't posted pictures...no one knows what my kids were for halloween...no one saw K's 3rd birthday celebration...i'm slackin'! :)

but, in the meantime... here is our meal plan for the week... we'll get back into this for a few weeks before the holidays mess it all up again... :) hope you get some ideas for dinner...or lunch... :)

Sunday: eat out - Hibachi :)
Monday: macaroni soup and grilled cheese
Tuesday: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, corn
Wednesday: leftovers
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: homemade pizza
Saturday: annual cookie party at The Strongs... bringing broccoli corn bread, 3 layer taco dip, and ricotta cookies... :)

and, believe it or not, but i've already started NEXT week's meal list... :) i'm not a nerd...just found a few things that we'd like to try... :)

what are YOUR plans as you get into the spirit of Christmas? special meals? time with friends and family? baking cookies? making fruit cake (giggle)? :) shopping? :) whatever it is, i hope that you have a BLESSED week with lots of giggles and smiles... :)
