Weekly Menu - The Week when all the stuff starts back up

Yes, we started school last week and had some appointments like hair cuts and dental appointments, we didn't start the "stuff".  That all starts this week which means I do a lot more driving places and sitting in the car.  Neither of which I mind.  I get time to read and plan; I also have great chats with my kids and we laugh a lot.  I really enjoy these times and don't take them for granted.  Precious moments for sure.  

With the schedule ramping up, it also means I have to plan meals a little differently.  More crock pot meals and meals we can eat in "shifts".  Also, Fridays have to be planned well or we just eat out.  By the time we are done with our homeschool day and I unpack everything once we are home, the last thing I want to do is cook.  So, it is to already be in the crock pot, already made, or it is time to order pizza HA!  

Friday - While our Co-Op doesn't start today, we had our open house followed by my leadership team meeting.  I'm keeping it easy making pancakes, sausage balls, and blueberry coffee cake. 

Saturday - A busy day!  I am attending a ladies seminar in the morning while Darryl takes Josh to stay with my in-laws for a few days.  Then Darryl and I are attending my choir dinner in the evening. 

Sunday - I think we will just hit Taco Bell. 

Monday - Nate has TKD and I have choir.  A favorite on Mondays is simply tacos.  :-) Everyone can eat in shifts. 

Tuesday - Since Joshua is gone this week, we are going to take Nate out to dinner - his choice - but I am guessing some McDonald's will be in our future.

Wednesday - This is the first week of Youth Group at our church but this year they aren’t feeding than.  Ahhhhhh! 🤣 Hosh is coming from his grandparents so Nate, Darryl,  and I will just have sandwiches 

Thursday - This is usually the one night we are all home with no where to go!  I try to "protect" this day when I can (it doesn't always work) to give us a full day of school and then an evening at home Dinner tonight will be Spaghetti Carbanara (a favorite) and French Bread.
