Weekend Review!

Good morning! I'm a day behind on posting my weekend review. Hopefully I can remember what we did this weekend. I just have to say that I'm still tired from the weekend and can't wait for this weekend to catch up on my sleep!! Ok lets get into the weekend review. 

We started the weekend off on Friday. Mollie had practice at 6pm. It was a weird night for weather. It kept raining off and on during the practice. I stayed at her practice just incase they called it off. Luckily Brett was home with Harper and Hudson so I got some quite time! We came home and had dinner and then just hung out for the rest of the night. 

Saturday was spent folding laundry in the morning and cleaning up the house! Mollie had her first Spring soccer game of the season and they tied! It was cold at the field but it was a great game! 

After the game we came home and all had some quite time! I then prepped dinner to bring to my sisters house. We went over there around 5ish and the kids played and then had dinner! They were being silly dressing up in their cousins tutu's. 

They also gave Hudson a mohawk. He loved it! We came home around 8 and watched tv for a bit then it was off to bed. Harper and I had to wake up super early to head to Nantucket for her lacrosse game!

Sunday morning came quickly! I woke up with a headache, but I took some Advil and was fine! Harper and I headed out the door to Nantucket for her lacrosse game. We were taking the 9:00 ferry with her team! 

It was Harper's first time on the ferry and she loved it! We got to Nantucket and headed right to the field to start warming up! She played goalie for the first half and loved it. She was awesome! They ended up winning the game! After her game was over we watched the next game and then headed into town for lunch and some shopping! Then it was time to catch the ferry back! We got home around 7pm. Brett had made pizza so we ate dinner and then it was time for showers! I caught up with what Mollie did for the day! She went to her friend's house. She was kind feeling a little sad that she didn't get to go! Next time! Before you knew it was bed time!! 

It was a long weekend but lots of fun! Have a great week!

Easter Activites

 Easter is only a few weeks away and each year I always want to do fun activities with the kiddos but then it gets too late and next thing you know Easter has passed and we just barely colored eggs! So I have compiled a list of activities for us to do from Pinterest this year. This is in no special order but will probably save the more difficult ones for the evenings we don't have any sports or for the weekends. 

1. Free Egg Decorating Coloring Pages - I found these coloring pages that we will start off doing first! Love that all my kids will like doing this!

2. Easter Bingo - We definitely will be playing bingo and will be using jelly beans as the markers. The kiddos love bingo and it will be good for family game night!

3. Peep Playdough - I love peeps and it wouldn't be Easter with out them! This will be a fun activity for the weekend! I feel like this will be the kiddos favorite activity. 

4. Easter Peep Houses - We tried these a couple of years ago but it was a fail so we will give it a try again. A little hack that I started doing with our gingerbread houses is using hot glue instead of icing! So we will try that hack on these houses!

5. Easter Eggs - Ok this fun way of dying Easter eggs is more for Hudson but the girls will love it too. I'm sure this will make a big mess and hopefully we can do it on a day that is not too cold outside! 

6. Easter Cards - I found this cute template for Easter cards. It is usually the girls that enjoy making Easter cards for everyone but I kind let them do their own thing but will give them this option! I might try to find a different one too so that they are not giving duplicate cards to family! 

I'm looking forward to all of these activities and I know the kiddos will love them all. Now I just need to put them in my planner for when we are going to do them. 

Now that I got all the Easter activities planned out I need to figure out what to bring to Easter dinner at my sister's. I said I would bring my cornbread casserole along with an appetizer and dessert! Back to Pinterest I go.

Weekly Meal Plan

 Another week has gone by and that means it is time for my weekly meal plan! I did my grocery shopping on Saturday. I was able to get our grocery bill under $300 this week. I think I spent $284. It definitely helps when you meal plan to save on your grocery bill! I will have to go to the grocery store on Thursday to get some more fruit/veggies and milk! So here is my meal plan for the week. 

Saturday - Tacos 
Sunday - Roasted Chicken with roasted potatoes and asparagus
Monday - Crockpot steak tips with mashed potatoes and green beans
Tuesday - Hamburgers with French Fries 
Wednesday - Pork Tenderloin with rice and green beans
Thursday - Make your own sandwiches - Everyone is pretty much on their own this night for dinner since both girls have practices and I have a work meeting! 
Friday - Pizza night 
Saturday - Butter chicken with mashed potatoes
Sunday - Breakfast - we will be away for the day in Nantucket for Harper's lacrosse game!

I'm looking forward to the warmer weather when we can start grilling! Summer meal planning is my favorite. I'm getting sick of comfort food!
