Our Menu Plan for the week of 04/11/2016

How was your weekend?  Since my hubby is out of state, I had Saturday planned out.  Chris had to be at work at 4am- uggggg :(  That is way too early for me to be crawling out of bed.  The boys and I were going to go to the Lowe's Build & Grow Event, come home, play some games and head out to Respite Night at church that evening.  That was my plan :)

Well, life with boys is always unpredictable :)  Kevin ended up hurting himself in softball practice, making him miss his game.  Little Michael was in tears telling me his mouth hurt.  The dentist told us that he has 2 loose teeth, unfortunately they are not wiggly.  Well, his big boy teeth have decided to make an appearance anyway, coming in right along side of his baby teeth.  And Nathan decided to pick at his sunburned face making his face bleed.  How nice right?  What a Saturday :)  Needless to say, everything got cancelled for Saturday.  Which is actually a blessing in disguise, since I was already super exhausted having to get up at 3:30am to get Christopher to work.

I really hope you had a much better weekend :)

Here is our menu plan for this week:

Breakfast
Bagels with fruit X2
