Thought I would post this and share with anyone who is interested. I made this fun weekly dinner menu and shopping list sheet. (I totally did not come up with this idea, my friend found the idea online somewhere). I have been using it for a couple of weeks now and it has worked great. I make out a dinner menu for the week, then make the shopping list. I printed a bunch of thes,e and one of these days I am going to get it made into a note pad. I also want to have it perforated down the center so I can tear off the shopping list and just take it to the store and hang the menu on the fridge for the week. If anyone wants a copy of this to use for yourself just leave me your email and I will send it your way. Heres to being organized (At least with dinner planning)!
A couple of nights ago we load up the car and kids and went camping with a few friends. It was quite the adventure getting there (I will spare you the details) but when we finally got there, we had a blast. Mason LOVED the whole camping thing: Fire, Sleeping in a Tent, Smores, Dirt, Flashlights, Lanterns, Roasting Mallows, all a kids dream. Here are a few pictures from our fun little adventure.
The other day Mason and I were making BRoWnieS and after we were done Mason loves to lick the bowl. So like always I let him have at it. I went into the other room to get something and when I came back this is the scene I found. His cute little hand prints all over the counter and also going up the side of the refrigerator. It was so cute that I couldn't be mad!! Love those little hands!
So all you crafty creative girls out there, I am starting a tag, a craft tag!! I thought it would be fun to see what fun projects everyone has been working on and to also get some ideas maybe for gifts for christmas (I know it is only september, but I always run out of time when the holidays hit and wish I had started sooner of gift ideas) or just to make for yourself. So here how it works...
So I have to do a quick post on Red, the fire engine from the movie"Cars". First a little background information...Around last Christmas, Mason really started getting into "Cars" the movie. He received a few of the die cast cars as gifts, and that is when the collection began. It has become a family affair. Okay, I'm not going to lie, we (including Drew) are pretty much obsessed with collecting them. For those of you that don't know much about them (I'm sure you don't have any boys otherwise you know all about them) they make the die cast cars in every single character you could possible think of that appears, even for a second, in the movie. So it has been our mission to find all of these prized gems. Some are really easy to find (like all of the Ramone's), others are very hard to come by. It has become a regular routine to stop by the "Cars" isles in our shopping outings. If we happen to find a new one, we snag it up. So the other day we were at our favorite store (Target) and I came across Red the fire engine!! I was practically screaming and dancing. Mason wasn't sure what was going on, but when he figured out what I found he was quiet excited too. And when I told Drew when he got home, let me tell you, we were all happy.
So do you see the reoccurring pattern in all of these pictures...you really don't have to look hard, it is quiet easy to pick out. Lets just call my son GOGGLE BOY! Yes, my son is obsessed with GOGGLES!! I think obsessed is an understatement (and all of you out there that have witnessed this know what I am talking about). It all started a couple of weeks ago when Mason started insisting on wear his swimming goggles around the house. I though okay no big deal. Then he started wanted to wear them to stores (like the last picture here, that was in Walmart. I turned around for a sec and the next thing I know Mason is on the girly bike with an helmet he grabbed off the self, on backwards by the way, and he is cruisin down the aisles of Walmart, I seriously love this kid!! I didn't know if I should laugh or be totally embarrassed) Next he decided that anytime we left the house he needed his goggles... at the doctors office, his friends, walks, playing at the park, and swimming of course. Sometimes he has them over his eyes, other times they are just pushed up on his forehead. At the end of the day he usually has marks on his forehead where they have been sitting. I really don't know where this love of the goggles came from, maybe with the Olympics and see the swimmers wearing them, I don't know, but I will admit it is pretty darn funny and he looks pretty darn cute in them! I love you my little GOGGLE BOY.
So I had a friend do this with her kids and I thought it was a great idea, so I rounded up some pictures, who do you think our kids look more like??
