Week in Review and Meal Plan
Happy Sunday everyone!
A quick recap of our week and then the meal plan...
L had a great time watching a cement mixer pull into our neighbors' yard and pour them a new patio! She had a great view from our {messy} porch.
We did a $2 craft at our local Michael's store and L took this selfie montage of herself in her finished dragon visor.
We had L's 4-year checkup and she was extremely brave for her shot. She was quite nervous about the whole appointment beforehand, but she bucked up when we got there, and I was super proud and very relieved! Let's see if we can survive the dentist later this week...
The two bigger girls are having swimming lessons at the lake on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the next few weeks. It has been great fun for them and their instructor is amazing. They are learning so much. I am looking forward to feeling a bit more comfortable taking all three of them to the water by myself, as they are getting more skilled swimming independently. It has been fun for us hanging out at the beach after the lesson is over, picnicking and relaxing. Such a beautiful spot!
N went to Grandma's for a special birthday visit for a few days. It was really nice to have some individual time with the other two, and they had some nice play time together too. Also nice to have only two lunches to pack for our many beach picnics!! It's amazing how two kids can feel so easy when you're used to having three.
More busyness is on the calendar this week, plus some party prep, so I'm trying to keep meals as simple as possible. If we have leftovers in the fridge, I will definitely skip over making some of these meals this week! They will all keep!

{I'd like to do a post soon on how we do soaked baked oatmeal... I've made a few tweaks to the recipe I link to here. Basically the same thing though.}

Glad the girls are enjoying swim lessons! Our L has been very tentative with putting her face into the water, but loves splashing around. We're not pushing it but will probably try lessons again next year. Love your organized meal plan, too!
