Dinner Anyone?

Calendar Daze
My friend often (ok all the time) kids me about "the schedule" and even posted her schedule one week to challenge me! We really don't do a lot of things, but there are seven of us and we each have interests and commitments, along with encouraging and sharing in each others activites. Since this year I wanted to use our blog as more of a life journal I am going to do this just so I can look back in twenty years and realize how much I enjoyed this time.....
Monday - wrap and deliver Nayeli's birthday present, pick up Gracie and take her to Moses Lake for gymnastics, remind Dani to pick up boys after school, Carley goes to photography until 4:15, arrange ride for Carley, make sure Dani has clean uniform and picture money for basketball pictures at 5:00, Dani late practice
Tuesday - Carley and Gracie to Achievement Activity until 4:15, remind them to walk to Red Rock when they are done, pick up boys at 3:00, go with Katrina to Jr. Miss as her Back Stage Mom at 3:30, possible - 6:30 Scentsy party only because Christine will be there
Wednesday - 7:00 Church Breakfast, 1hour late start for kids, remind Darin to take them to school, Darin is on call all day, 3:00 pick up Gracie and boys, 4:15 pick up Carley, 4:30 go to Jr. Miss mock interview to judge
Thursday - 3:00 pick up Gracie and boys, 4:15 take Carley and Samantha to piano
Friday - pack for game, 3:00 pick up kids, 3:45 leave for Tri Cities, 6:00 basketball game
Saturday - 10:00 leave for Warden to watch Dallas wrestle, afternoon - help Dani get ready for Winter Formal, 7:00 get ready and go chaperone dance.
Sunday - church
Not a bad week for us, I didn't put in the daily stuff like homework, dinner, chores, laundry, work, there is always room for those. Wish me luck....

Menu Plan Monday

So, last week went pretty well. I did end up going to the store a lot more than I wanted to, I didn't really figure in to my schedule that we would run out of cereal, ziploc bags, you know the extras that were not on my list. The Sunday turkey dinner got postponed since I forgot it was potluck Sunday at church.
Monday - McDonald's (I know this sounds funny but the new Moses Lake McDonalds is open and has an indoor playland, since Darin is taking Gracie to gymnastics while Dani and I go dress shopping I thought this would be a perfect way to combine dinner on the go and entertain the kids)
Tuesday - Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad, mandarin oranges with cottage cheese
Wednesday - RiceYukAMuchy (rice, hamburger, cream of mushroom soup, celery and chinese noodle casserole), apples & raisins with vanilla yogurt dressing
Thursday - Darin's Sausage Tortellini Soup !!!!
Friday - dinner on the go (leftovers), basketball in Tri Cities
Saturday - tacos
Sunday - Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn
Mini Cheer Camp
Kindergarten Family Fun Night
This is Mrs. Mueller playing "top-it" with Lane, Justin concentrating on his "roll and record" and Dad and the boys making marshmallow/toothpick shapes.
