Friday morning we packed up for a 3 hour drive south for a funeral. It was my husband, our girls, and my sister in law and brother in law. It was a nice time, unfortunatly the circumstances were not, but it was good to see a lot of family that we haven't seen in a while.
Our trip started out a little rocky though. I sent my husband out to get new pacifiers for the trip because I wasn't going to only travel with one for each girl. Madeleine decided that he bought the wrong color pacifier and so she refused to take either of the new ones we brought. So the whole ride down she fussed and whined, then nap time came at the hotel and she fell asleep with no paci. Night time came, and again fell asleep with no paci, and she was still throwing a fit about the "wrong colored" ones. I felt so bad for her, it just broke my heart watching her go cold turkey. The way home the next day was a little better, she slept the whole 3 hours. When we got home I gave her the yellow one that she was just dying for on our trip, she put it in her mouth for one second and pulled it right out with a disgusted look on her face and said, "that's yucky mommy," and that was that. NO MORE PACIFIERS!
This child is an angel.. potty trained after a week & gave up her "fappy" all by herslef.. another proud mommy moment for the books. [Luckily I took Josie off at 4 months, and she really only like them in bed or the car.. hopefully it stays that way.]
The last few weeks I have been meal planning for the week [just for dinners] . I have tried it here and there before, but now that my husband has some classes in the evenings it is so much easier on me to do this. I really think it helps save money and groceries too since I know exactly what I need for the week [& the essential groceries of course]
So this weeks menu so far is :
M: tuna noodle casserole
T: grilled cheese & tomato soup , corn
W: spaghetti, garlic bread & zucchini
Th: bbq chicken, mashed potatoes & cooked carrots
F: salad & pizza
They are always subject to change ;]
mmm.. I'm already getting hungry thinking about all those yummy meals.
