Our Menu Plan for the week of 07/18/2016

How was your weekend? We didn't have much planned since I was not feeling well and Nathan didn't want to do anything to celebrate his birthday. I ended up at an Urgent Care since my regular doc couldn't see me for 2 days :( Luckily, I went. What I thought was an ear infection turned out to be tonsillitis :( I feel soooo much better now :) Nathan decided that for his birthday he wanted to go to the Naples Zoo since he found out that they had a bunch of Poke Stops for that new game Pokemon Go. We drove all the way out there for a not so nice storm to come through and mess up all our plans. So Pokemon Hunting got postponed. I have a funny feeling that we will be Pokemon hunting our whole way to Texas. Lucky me :)

Here are our menu plans for this week:

Breakfast
Overnight Oats with fruit X2
Waffles with fruit X2
Granola with fruit X2
Bagels with fruit

Lunch
Tuna Salad with fruit and a hard boiled egg
Sandwich with carrots, apple slices, blueberries and grapes for everyone else or leftovers

Family Fun Saturday Adventure

I was looking at the pictures on my phone and I discovered some cool pictures of the last time we went to CMON~ The Children's Museum of Naples, which was way back in May :(

Since we have a yearly pass, we try to visit the Children's Museum at least once a month. We have been so busy in June and July that we haven't been back since May :(

I don't want to bore you with the same pictures of the same museum that we try to visit on a monthly basis. In my first CMON post, I mentioned these really cool Keva Planks. They are so neat. Usually what happens when we go to CMON, Nathan like to visit the upstairs older children, no parents allowed section, while little Michael likes to play downstairs with all the exhibits. One of us waits for Nathan while the other accompanies little Michael on his journey downstairs.

This visit, I stayed upstairs waiting on Nathan. I walked around and looked at the summer camp info. I wondered around and looked at the neat artifacts that they have. And then I decided to play around with the Keva planks. I decided to see how tall I could stack them. I started stacking and noticed people walking by and watching me to see how high I could get them to go. Evidently, stacking Keva planks is quite the attraction :)

Well, I got as tall as my 5 foot 2 self could reach:

I then called my hubby to see if he could come upstairs and see how high he could go, since he is over 6 feet tall :) By this time, we had people coming over and telling us that we were doing an awesome job and were taking pictures :) Hubby got as far as he could reach:

Even little Michael decided to build his own creation:

After we could go no higher and were still waiting on Nathan, we decided to get creative and made this:

I think it is really neat and cool looking. I love these blocks :) Nathan got done, saw our creations and thought they were the coolest things ever :) We went downstairs and enjoyed our time. Before we left, we ventured upstairs just to see if our creation was still standing. Sadly, it was not. It had gotten knocked over :( Oh well, I am going to have to think about our next creation to build when we go back :) If you have a chance you should visit the Keva Planks website and look at all the creations that can be made :) You really need to watch the Keva World Record Tower- so cool :)

I can't wait to see where our next Family Fun Saturday Adventure takes us :)

Our 4th of July Fun :)

We only knew of a couple of places that did fireworks. I love the one that closes down the bridge and shoots fireworks over the water~ so beautiful :) We were still trying to decide where we wanted to go when Nathan decided to have a not so nice fever :( Well, that settles it~ we are staying home for the 4th this year. We stayed home last year because someone was sick. It seems my boys only get sick around 4th of July and Thanksgiving :(

We are very blessed that we can stay at home and watch some pretty spectacular fireworks. We can sit in out driveway and see fireworks in all directions. We found some glow sticks that we bought last year and didn't use.

Little Michael, daddy and myself headed outside for some firework fun:

Glow Stick fun

Glow stick ring toss

Glow stick ball

Dancing fun with glow sticks

We were having a blast watching fireworks and playing with glow sticks. That is until we got some uninvited quests that crashed our firework fun :( Mosquitoes decided to come and join our fun. Well, that was the end of that. We packed up and went back into the house. It was fun while it lasted.

Keeping our fingers crossed that next year no one is sick :)

July 2016 Monthly Grocery Budget

Here is where I will keep a list of our spending for the month of July . I'm not even sure how much to budget for this month. Since Chris is employed, he is buying his own groceries :) And Kevin, my eat enough for 4 people, trying to pack on weight before Basic Training, has left for Basic Training. I don't know how much to budget for our groceries. This month, I only have to budget for 3 weeks as we will be leaving at the end of the month and making the wonderful 20 hour drive to TX to see my baby graduate from Basic Training. I am going to take out $400, see how it goes and hopefully how much I have at the end of the month :)

Our Shopping Trip~ 07/02/2016
