11:20pm & I just got out of the shower for the day! Oh boy...
I always feel like I have a lot of stories I want to tell, but tonight - with a traveling husband - I know that I should probably just go to sleep. But! I made a menu for our week (starting last Saturday) & wanted to share. As much work as planning + shopping for a week at a time is, it saves me trips to the store that I'd rather not take with two littles & keeps my brain from being quite so scattered. I've left my keys in my front door twice in the past week (once with my 72-hours-old new car sitting in the driveway!!). The first time, I searched for my keys for a solid half hour before finding them, & the second time a creepy man came & knocked on my door & handed them to me. I've lost my mind.
(Have I mentioned that I still haven't gone to the grocery store with both boys? It's partly out of total fear & partly that I've just structured my weeks so that I just go when I have my sitter or when Mike is home. I wanted to go today, & decided that I couldn't possibly. It was raining.)
Anyway - our menu. It's nothing fancy, per usual, but at least it's a plan & no one will go hungry.

I made a menu too! It is a must...otherwise I look in the fridge at 4 and don't know what I should make, wish I had done something. But, I'm not as organized as you with breakfast and lunch - you have got it together.
I love the picture dump and West! He looks SO much like you I can't even believe it. Those happy eyes and smile!
Can't wait for meatballs tonight! And this is a great batch of photos. We produce high quality eyeballs in our kids.
