Menu Plan Monday


This week's menu plan is going to be pretty short and sweet. We've got a little bit busier of a week. My parents and sister are coming tonight and will be here till Wednesday morning.

Monday: PW's pot roast with carrots, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans & biscuits...and apple cake for dessert
Tuesday: going out....whoo hoo!!
Wednesday: beef & potato casserole(from the freezer), salad
Thursday: small group night...I think I'll make a chicken dish, maybe poppy seed chicken
Friday: turkey meatloaf (from Susan Branch's Girlfriends Forever book), veggies, mac & cheese
Saturday: beans & cornbread

I love the new header!! It's awesome!

And your menu looks great. Can we just come to your house for dinner this week, LOL!? I am so behind on menus due to some family issues we've had the last couple weeks (our pet is very ill). So we are just winging it for now. But I hope to be back in the menu planning mode here soon!
i just love that people have the menu planning skill...i'm working on that but it hasn't quite come together for me yet..:))

I have never been good with the menu planning...but you've inspire me to try again. We've officially declared Monday as "Baked Potato Night". The kids love it and it's SO easy after a hectic Monday.

The Making of an Egyptian Death Mask

We are learning all about the ancient world this year with Story of the World I and loving it! We've been learning a lot about Egypt, of course, which is completely fascinating. Most recently we have studied the New Kingdom of Egypt, which includes the story of King Tut. So we decided making an Egyptian death mask in the style of King Tut's would be a fun project. First since it was too cold at the time to paper mache in the garage (it probably would have frozen instead of dried-ha) and it was too messy to do it in the house, we decided to pick up a couple of cheap craft masks at Hobby Lobby. Next we cut out cardboard shapes to complete the shape of the death mask, attaching them with hot glue. Vince even put a little detail on the *beard* with the hot glue per The Princess' request. Then the kiddos started to paint them with this metallic gold tempera paint. It worked okay for the cardboard, but would not coat the plastic of the mask. We thought maybe a second coat

Door Hanger Chore Charts

My kids have had a chore chart for a while.  It's one of those magnetic boards and they share it.  However, it's not by their rooms and often they (and I) forget to update it.  Plus it's a little bulky.   When I saw the concept of a door hanger chore chart on Pinterest, I loved it!  It was compact, right there were the kiddos could see it coming out and going into their rooms, and it costs almost nothing to make.   I headed over to one of my favorite stores: Hobby Lobby, of course.  They  have these little wooden door hangers for .79.  I also grabbed a couple of packets of decorative buttons for $1.99 each.  I already had the clothes pins and the paint so those cost me nothing.   I began by painting the door hangers (I used tempera paints because that's what I had).  Then I grabbed a fine point Sharpie and the clothes pins and started writing chores on them, making sure to write them correctly so they will clip on the right direction.   The left

1st Day Back to {home}School, Among Other Things

We did it! We finally got unpacked enough and got our new learning room organized enough to start back to school! Frankly, I was starting to get worried...ha Today went very well though. So far I am extremely pleased with our new curriculum choices for math and language arts. Now, if I could just actually get some lesson planning done... And get the finishing touches done in the learning room, so I can blog it! In other news, it has been a bit of a traumatic week...pet-wise. Last weekend a sweet friend (who had asked my permission beforehand) brought the kiddos their very own little fish tank with two goldfish. Well, on Sunday we noticed that The Princess' fish was pretty lethargic...dead, actually. She was sad, but she handled it fairly well. And we went to the store that evening and let her pick out a new goldfish. Well, today during our school time~the fish tank is in our learning room~we noticed Mr. B's fish was acting funny. And then he was dead. It was a
