Project 365 - Days 47 - 50

Day 47 - Scarlett always wears this build a bear shirt on her head like a hat so I put her pig tails through it to make it extra cute!
Day 48 - Dylan climbing over Mt Gavin.
Day 49 - Gavin reading on his new cell phone ... it doesn't have cell service just Wifi so he can use it for games and an e-reader and an MP3 and a camera
Day 50 - It works best when each baby is in their own corner lol. I rearranged the dining room/play room this morning

Meal Planning Monday

So I decided to take the plunge and start Meal Planning for the week. Last night we did what seemed like impossible and went through all of our food and put it all in to a spread sheet. Now we know what we have and don't have at a quick glance. This took us a few hours last night and a lot of griping but as long as we keep up with it and take things off as we use them and add them on when we buy them I think it will be very helpful to us.

I babysit until 6pm 5 days a week and I always struggle at 6 pm to try to figure out what to make for dinner. So now the plan is each Sunday night we will plan the next 7 days of Dinners based on what we have (and we can pick up the few things we may need). This way I don't get frazzled and tell my oldest that it's going to be Cereal for dinner.

So this week's Meal Plan:

Monday - Grilled BBQ Pork Chops & Asparagus
Tuesday - Baked Tilapia with Avocado and Tomato & Sweet Potato Fries (This is our family dinner night with my mom, dad (when he's home) and little sister so my mom will be bringing something as well.)
Wednesday - Beef Stir Fry
Friday - Left Overs
Saturday - Spanish Rice
Sunday - Chicken Cacciatore with Pasta

Project 365 - Days 45 & 46

First the Yummy Chocolates that Alex got for me for Valentines Day for Day 45.

And for Day 46. This is what happens when you talk to me non stop while I'm trying to work. I make Alex tape your mouth shut! I think Gavin needs one too! But he was reading while Marshelle was getting her mouth taped shut! On a side note... I was laughing so hard it was really hard to take the picture and steady my hands so it wouldn't be blurry.

Spring Fever

Do you have Spring Fever? I know Mel and I do! We are ready for it to warm up and all the beautiful flowers to bloom! This beautiful kit matches the Color Challenge at SBB for the 2nd half of this month.You can get the Full kit on sale until the 28th for just $2.50 and the Mini Kit is free through the 28th!

Project 365 - Days 44

So Alex's idea of a good time is putting coffee filter on Dylan's head while he is eating matzo ball soup. Do you think Dilly looks impressed? He actually really loved the soup!

And here is our finished banner. A little goofy maybe but still pretty cute. We did too many book pages because I didn't realized they were folded in half, but I didn't want to cut any of them out so the last 2 got pined on because they wasn't really room to hang them by length.

Project 365 - Days 42 & 43

Here's Gavin last night with his extra long pants on lol.

And here's the start of mine and Gavin's Banner we made today. Kinda tacky? Yes! Super Cute? Yes! Tomorrow I will have a pic of it all done just have to get clothes pins for it.

Project 365 - Days 35-41

So my laptop died and I had to wait for a new one to come in the mail. Mix that with me being a slacker about actually posting my 365 pics and you have me posting 6 pics in one day! lol These are in reverse order.

Day 41 (today) my new laptop all set with my new workspace so little fingers can't touch it and break this one!!

Day 40 Dylan having some snacks before bed. Of course he rubbed it all in his hair and then needed a bath!

Day 39 - Papa's home! Papa and his boys after our typical Tuesday night dinner.
Day 38- I'm not mad I swear just surprised that Alex was taking a picture lol. I was trying to braid Scarlett's hair and it was like one big poof in the front lol.
Day 37 - Super Bowl Sunday! There were a lot of good pics from the day but this ridiculous pic Marshelle took of her self was by far my fav!

Day 36 - All Ready for bed time! Got my sleep sack and Binky!

Day 35 - My view from the living room of Dylan playing with his kitchen.
