Monday Menu

Here we go with another busy week!  I'm not so sure about this basketball thing yet…  This will be our first venture into this sport, and I'm not loving the fact that there is no break between soccer and the start of it, but oh well.  At least it's a pretty short season, and all the practices are right after school, so that's one less trip I have to make.

To-Do's:
Monday- menu/grocery shop, work @ kid's school, basketball practice for M, home group here
Tuesday- basketball game for M (??)
Wednesday- basketball practice, rehearsal
Thursday- work in R's class, basketball game
Friday- basketball tournament
Saturday- rehearsal, basketball tournament
Sunday- church

That's no nights at home all week until the weekend.  And we woke up to frost this morning, which means the busy season for Matthew is officially underway.  Should be a crazy week around here.

Menu:
Monday- Costco pizza & salad
Tuesday- pasta with meat sauce
Wednesday- crock pot chicken quesadillas
Thursday- grilled cheese & soup
Friday- leftover chicken...
Saturday-
Sunday- salmon (biscuits & a veggie?)
