Meal Planning July 10 - 16

Greetings all!  I realize there have been some issues with comments on my blog - I am working with blogger to resolve those and hope to have it working again soon!  Below is our menu plan for this week - it is a little different than most because the girls are having a sleep over at grandma's one night and then we are having a staycation of sorts - instead of taking the girls far we are going to do local things like the beach, movies, pool etc - my only stipulation was no cooking for at least 3 of those days!  Happy eating all!

Breakfasts:
  • Brunch at the Orange Mining Co. (Happy Birthday Bro! and thank you for choosing some great food)
  • Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Honey Dew Melon, Yogurt
  • Bagels w/cream cheese & strawberry jam, scrambled eggs, peaches
  • Breakfast at grandma's - so we will probably each eat something different.
  • Oatmeal w/raisins, orange juice, peanut butter on a spoon
  • Pepperoni Omelette's, Toast w/jam, honey dew melon
  • French Toast, Eggs, Blackberries
Lunches:
  • Hot Dogs and Nachos at an Angel Game (healthy I know)
  • Lunch @ Grandma's!
  • Chicken Quesadillas, honey dew melon, corn
  • Loaded Salad for mama, pasta with butter for kids, carrots and ranch
  • Peanut Butter Sandwiches, blackberries, bell pepper sticks in ranch
  • Egg Salad Sandwiches, Goldfish Crackers, Honey Dew, Bell Pepper Sticks
  • Fried Bologna Sandwiches, Salads, Whatever Fruit is left
Dinners:

Theme Thursday: Bugs & Insects

Image
This week (and next) we are working on bugs and insects.  Lots of Eric Carle inspiration here folks and the girls are loving it!  The books we read over and over and over are: For activities we started with: Playing with our caterpillar felts. The girls reenacted the Eric Carle Story using their kitchen food. Big C also had to order the pieces by "age" telling the story of transformation. And they just played with them making them talk and such. Then we did fingerprint ants.  These are Big C's she even drew the antennae and legs! (They are supposed to be in tunnels). Then we made a glue web.  Squeeze white glue in the shape of a web. Let dry and voila! Little C's fingerprint ant.  She did not like paint on her fingers. Played with our fly, spider, and web. Talked about how spiders trap flies and drink their blood. Again they made her talk and named her and made her friendly.  Made caterpillars out of playdoh.  Big C also made an egg on a leaf and a cocoon. Then

Staycation!

Image
 This year the Hubs and I are traveling to Pennsylvania for his graduation from Penn State's MBA program and after much deliberation we have decided to leave the little ones behind.  With that being said we still wanted to spend some quality family time together and thus decided to have a 4 day "staycation"!  Our 4 days started out with a trip to Newport Beach - this being Little C's first time at the beach since before she was walking it was quite the new adventure!  Both girls loved the sand and eventually the water but most of all the people!  We met some lovely people from Canada and Colorado and had a ton of fun all day! Big C buried in sand! Daddy's Myan Ruins castle! Little C loved the sand - and had it everywhere! Sand angels! Didn't wait two seconds before digging in! Next we visited the La Habra Children's museum . We also went art supply shopping at Target and tried to get daddy a suit and shoes at the Brea Mall. OCTA Bus at the La H
