Last weeks menu did not go as planned. We just ended up with some different things going on which changed my plans :-) This weekend my Mom is coming which will be fun.
Here's the plan:
Friday - We are going to Pizza Hut :-) After a long day of Friday School, Pizza Hut will be a nice treat.
Saturday - It's St. Patrick's Day weekend so we are going to have our annual St. Patrick's Day meal on Saturday :-) Stuffed Cabbage in the Crock Pot, Crash Potatoes, Mac and Cheese, and Layered Jello with Green Pudding for dessert.
Sunday - We are either going to get KFC or we will have Pulled Pork, Potato Salad, and Chips and Dip.
Monday - Chicken Enchiladas, Rice and Beans, and Salad
Tuesday - Broccoli Cheese Soup (Ok, I cheat and buy Panara soup at the store) and Ham. Such a tasty combination and so easy!
Wednesday - Corn Dogs and Mac and Cheese
Thursday - It's piano night. Dinner is hard to do because of timing. I am planning Scalloped Potatoes and Pork chops in the crock pot so it can be ready whenever we can eat.

Origami Week 6
We are down to our last few weeks of Origami class! This past week we made this fun project:
I found this idea over at Make and Takes and just thought it looked super fun. Now, the reality. I did make one at home and couldn't get it to just "snap together". Mine kept flipping out so I used some small pieces of tape to hold it together. I used regular Origami paper which is super thin. It came out pretty decent. I gave my class the option to pick some thin scrapbook paper but it wasn't as thin as Origami paper. That made this starburst more difficult to fold and put together. They ended up looking a little like Statue of Liberty Crowns. Plus, the students didn't fold perfectly so their points were not, well, on point. In end this did not turn out to be my favorite project but it did take the entire hour!

Oops . . .
So, my little secret, so I don't forget my ideas is that I schedule posts often a month in advance. Well, the past few days it has backfired on me! I didn't get photos up on Friday night for Saturday's post and today's post was also empty!
I'll get back on track but, it is late on Monday night after a busy day of school, Tae Kwon Do, and Choir practice so it will be Wednesday before you see a new post!
This is real life :-)

Weekly Worship - I'd Need A Savior
I was traveling towards Lansing recently and had to switch Radio Stations from my normal "WCSG" to Family Life Radio. While I love my 91.3 favorite - an advantage to switching stations that I often hear songs that I've never heard before since each station plays a variety of music based on demographics. Anyway, this song came on right after I switched over and I just really enjoyed it so I thought I would share it with you too!

Weekly Menu
Last weeks menu went out the window. I'm not sure what happened other than our plans kept changing so our meals kept changing. Oh well. Some weeks are like that and that's ok :-) Plus, last week I wasn't into going to the store HA! So I tried to use up things we had at home and just made quick runs to the store. So what's in store this week (if I go to the store LOL) ? Here's the plan.
Friday - Breakfast - French Toast Sticks, Sausage/Bacon, and Hashbrowns
Saturday - I'm going scrapbooking today. I'm leaving Corn Dogs and Chicken Nuggets for the boys and Darryl to cook up for dinner.
Sunday - Stuffed Shells, Green Beans and Garlic Bread
Monday - BBQ Cups and Fries/tater tots
Tuesday - BBQ Spare Ribs, Potatoes, asparagus, and Rolls
Wednesday: Our normal AWANA Routine - I cook something simple for the boys and I enjoy something simple after I drop them off.
Thursday - Chili and Rolls

March Goals
March Goals! Yes, it's that time of month to write down my goals. As I've done the last two months, I'll start with my main focus.
I know, really? But yes! The reason I picked this is because I already have some things in place to help this happen.
1. Put together my new shelves (an early birthday present!) to house my scrapbooks. Two of the shelves arrived; once I get those put together and organized, I will order one more if needed.
2. Sort my albums as I put them on shelves. I need to see what is missing and what needs to be updated.
3. Update any and all albums that I can (some might have to be spread out over the year depending on what needs to be done.
4. Continue to plan to order the current months photo and one other months photos.
5. Continue to plan to order one month of digital pages a month
Even though I have a main focus, there are some other things I'm focusing on too.
1. Add exercise to our daily routine - the weather has not been our friend yet this year but maybe, just maybe March will be our month!
2. Now that the weather is starting to maybe clear, I might actually try to do my first Shipt SHop.
3. Schedule an eye appointment - I think I need new contacts and I DO need new glasses!
4. Paint the Dining Room - I'll be honest, I'm not sure I can actually fit this in this month but I want it on the radar.
5. Put up the spring/summer shower curtain (Maybe that is why it is still snowing - I still have my snowflake shower curtain up HA!)
6. Price out a different Homeschool option for next year and see if it is a doable plan if we decided to not do connections academy next year.
7. Decide about camp for the boys - they have expressed a real interest in going this summer to a full week of camp - I need to see if we can make this happen financially.
8. Find one activity to do this month as a family.
9. Continue to read - I think I'm doing pretty good on this one.
10. Make sure I have our St. Patrick's stuff in the plans are in place.
11. Update the holiday journal
12. Purchase items for the boys Easter Basket and get their Easter outfits
13. Finalize my song to sing at church and practice it.
14. Go through all of our summer clothes and make a list of what is needed
15. Deep clean the master bedroom - I did a big clean out last September but it tends to get piles quite often and I need to clean all of that stuff out.
16. The basement. That's all HA!
17. Finish one project with Josh for School (he has three) and finish up Nate's big Michigan History Project and his reading journals
18. Plan my fall co-op class. I have the information, I just need to lay out a basic lesson plan.
19. Plan for summer planting. I want to plant sunflowers and maybe some other flowers. I'd also like to plant a few (very few) veggie plants.
My March Focus is:
Strengthen my Scrapbooking
