Weekly Post, April 24

Last week was a week of ups and downs.  The girl had spring break and we had grand plans to explore…then Mom got sick and the weather turned hot and all of a sudden staying home sounded way better, except to the girl.  We did manage to have a few adventures, including hikes and water play.

We also went to the local fair that’s in town. Way too much fun there! I love all the food.  Corn dogs, fry bread, chicken legs, curly fries, cotton candy and ice cream. Oh my goodness it’s all so wonderful. Of course, the kiddos enjoyed the rides the most and had a blast.

Most of our meals for the week went well, but I found out that my son is tired of mac n cheese (I thought the day would never come!). I also tried a steak bites recipe that was not well received by the family. I even tried to make it more like kabobs but the marinade was too different from the usual flavors we stick close to and they couldn’t handle it. Oh well, with pinterest you win some and you loose some.

This week I have a few new recipes I want to try. I’m still fighting off some sort of cold---AGAIN--- so we’ll see how energetic I am. We only have one game this week, so hopefully we can have a calmer week for some much needed rest.

I’m really excited to try the pizza pinwheels. It would be a great lunch meal if I can get it work. I’m still on the hunt for lunchtime meals for the girl next year. This summer I’m hoping to have a lot of practice as well.  Alright, here we go! Have a yummy week!
