Our Menu Plan for the week of 09/03/2018

How was your weekend?

We had a nice weekend.  We went to the library, went through all the books on the boys book shelves, loaded up the things we were donating, dropped off the donated items after church and then spent time resting and relaxing.  I was so excited to babysit for a friend :)  They have an infant and I love some baby snuggles.  They also have a very active toddler.  After they were picked up, I crashed.  I forgot how it felt to have 2 littles again :)  I didn't even have the energy to cook dinner.  Hubby went out and got Dominos :)  I loved the time we got to spend with them and can't wait to do it again :)

Here is our menu plan for this week:
