Weekly Menu, 24.

I have good intentions on following my weekly menu's, I really do. But let's be real..they rarely turn out 5/5. It's inevitable and definitely okay, that plans change. I find a new recipe to try, I end up going shopping or to dinner with a friend, last minute event/activity for one of the kids, so things get shuffled around. I don't always stick to my plan, but it's nice to know that I have one to fall back on :) Here's my attempt at a Menu for this week.

Monday:

Grilled Cheese

Macaroni & Cheese

Banana, Strawberry skewers

(Softball game)

Tuesday:

BBQ Brats & hot dogs

Macaroni Salad

Corn on the cob

Wednesday:

Meatloaf

Oven fried zucchini chips

Thursday:

Baked Chicken

Rice

Broccoli

(T-ball game)

Friday:

Taco Cups

Mexican Rice

(Softball game)

A Rainbow Party.

My niece Ava, turned 2 on April 21st. Since I have a Sister who knows how much I love parties, she sort of lets me create the vision's that I have. Since Ava obviously wouldn't know what kind of party she would want, I got to do the Rainbow Party theme that I have seen created all over the blogosphere. There are so many cute ideas out there and who doesn't love the Rainbow colors??

I was obsessed with making a Rainbow cake. I have seen them everywhere and I thought it looked so fun and super cute to make. There were no disasters and everyone was so surprised when the cake was cut to reveal all those pretty colors.

We made fruit loop Rainbow necklaces, Ava played on her new slide and the bigger kids just wanted to play outside, go figure :) I think Ava's party was a success and I can't wait until the next party to help with!
