Menu Plan Monday–Week of May 1

Easter pictures were so much easier when the 3yo was a babe!  At 3mo, he just sat where he was supposed to and smiled.  Easter at 15mo he was newly mobile and it showed.  Last Easter we were all sick.  This Easter?  He was trying to put leaves into the electrical sockets!!  And, of course, the other two had to check out what he was doing.  Love the look on EGirl’s face, though. A good picture of me, at least!

Two busy weeks ahead, so I am trying to keep my menu plans simple.  I struggle with simple menu plans–repetition, quick-assemble, it all sounds so nice.  But I get caught up in trying new recipes and such.   If all goes as planned, SoldierBoy will be gone for four months beginning in June and I am going to need simple menu plans if I want to get through those months.  So my goal is to work towards that now.
