Week in Review- Dinner

In efforts to be more organized, because can't we all, except Amy O'Brien, stand to be just a little bit more organized?, I have put together my menus for the next three months. Yup, three months. I barely know what I want to eat in the next three minutes, let allow three months, but I felt it would be a good place to start.

Part of the being more organized thing for me is to hold myself accountable to my planning and there's no better way for me to do that than to check in on ye olde blog. So, let's see how a week of menu planning has gone down at the Everyday Adventures homestead:
Sunday- Chicken & Biscuits- Made and didn't turn out well. We ate it anyway. :(
Monday- Out- Oh, yeah, we are pretty good about sticking to this one. Eat 'N Park
Tuesday- Breakfast for dinner- Homemade waffles! Yum!!
Wednesday- Hearty Meatball Soup- Ah, no. How about defrosted Baked Spaghetti instead.Mom forgot to buy several key soup ingredients.
Thursday- Zoo- Also an eat out night by default of not being home.
Friday- Pizza- Nope. Hearty Meatball Soup Yum.
Saturday- Spaghetti & Meatballs- Nope. Leftover soup and neighbor's birthday party

All in all, I think it was a good first effort. Part of planning for me is the ability to have some flexibility. I was asked today how I am able to homeschool and my response was that I have a very structured schedule that I very loosely follow. I have a cleaning/laundry schedule that is allowing me to maintain a somewhat clean, often picked up home that I'm not entirely embarassed to have people visit. That's a lot better than I've been able to say in the past! :)

Anyhow... for the week coming up:
Sunday- Chicken & Broccoli Casserole
Monday- Leftovers
Tuesday- Grilled Cheese & Tuna Melts
Wednesday- Chicken Soup
Thursday- Crockpot Mac & Cheese
Friday- Pizza
Saturday-Ham BBQ, leftover Mac & Cheese

We're going to finish up learning about the moon for school and start a new unit on leaves and autumn. Looking forward to it! We also have MOPS, a soccer game, two appointments and the BIG Ultrasound this week PLUS we're heading over to friends' tomorrow to celebrate Matt's installation AND the G-20 summit comes to the 'Burgh. ANNNNNDDDDD The Steelers play tomorrow! OH, AND Jefferson is doing his first wedding on Saturday. WOW!!
