Lately this feels like such a chore.  I'd love to have just one week (or maybe 2) where I wasn't in charge of figuring out what we're going to eat all week.  It's not even the shopping or the cooking (although a week off from that would be amazing!), it's just the planning it all out that really gets to me some weeks.

Monday- random leftovers
Tuesday- ?? something that looks good at the store, maybe with whole wheat biscuits?? lol
Wednesday-  pancakes, eggs, and hash brown cups (got bumped last week)
Thursday- slow cooker refried beans with cornbread
Friday- homemade pizza (bacon, pineapple, tomatoes, and onion this week)
Saturday- honey mustard chicken, baked potatoes, other veggie
Sunday-

w7- outside with cousins 

Some Scrap Pages

My first two pages on the new Mac, and with the new PS CS6.  I have a LONG way to go before I feel comfortable with it, but I'm at least figuring out how to do the basics.

First up, the new Project Mouse goodies for the week.  Character and Autograph stuff.  I was finally able to get this picture scrapped.  I cannot tell you how many times I've started a page with it and not been able to finish it.  This is probably one of my very favorite moments from our trip and those are always hardest to scrap.

And here's the first page I did with the new program.  I'm really wishing I would have edited the pictures, but I just wanted to see if I could get the hang of scrapping and not bother with that at the time.  I will have to go back and fix them before I print!

A little late, but still done! :)
Still not 100% real food around here, but I'm being more aware of it and trying to make some small changes here and there.  I found out about a local bakery that makes "real" bread, I need to go pick up a loaf so we can try it out.  I would love to get our bread switched over without me having to make it from scratch!

Monday- honey mustard chicken, whole wheat biscuits, and carrots
Tuesday- tamales (from a church fund raiser)
Wednesday- sausage with peppers and pasta
Thursday- pancakes, bacon, and hash brown cups
Friday- homemade pizza
Saturday- 
Sunday-

Busy, Busy

I've been super buys lately!  Still working on getting M's room redone for her TENTH birthday (in 2 days!!).  I've also been trying to pull everything together for her party this weekend.  Then there's that thing called life.  Dentist appointments, after school activities, and figuring out what to feed everyone this week.  I'm just trying to keep going, do one thing at a time.  
I think I'm almost done painting.  There was lots of paint involved in this project.  The walls, desk, dresser, shelves, light, and a bunch of other random little things.  I think I have one more coat to do on two of the dresser drawers, and then I'll be done (until I tackle the boy's room, which hopefully won't involve as much paint).  Tomorrow I'm kicking her out of her room so I will have two days to put it all together.  Instead of opening presents from us on her birthday she's going to open her door.  Just like on those design shows. :) 

Menu:
Monday- pasta with meat sauce
Tuesday- slow cooker ham & white beans with cornbread
Wednesday- blueberry pancakes and bacon (birthday girl request)
Thursday- Chicken, veggies, whole wheat biscuits 
Friday- homemade pizza 
Saturday- 
Sunday- 

I'll fill in the rest later.

Template Challenge!

Britt has a fun new template challenge for this month.  It's a nothing but photos type template, which are some of my favorite templates that she does, so I couldn't wait to play!  I knew right away that I wanted to fill it with these fun pictures from last summer. :)
