Menu Plan Monday ~ The Stove is Back!

greenmpm Menu Plan Monday ~ The Stove is Back!
I have to say I am very excited to have my stove back.  I love my crockpot but I would rather have options and sometimes a quick stovetop meal is great.  This is going to be a short week because our family is going to visit family in another state.
  • Enchiladas (Ethan has been begging for them)
  • Stovetop Pasta (my version of hamburger helper and I basically dump whatever into it)
  • Grilled Sandwhiches (for the road)
Have a great week!

What to do…

when your kids are driving you so nuts you want to lock them in a closet?  Well that is what I am asking myself right now.  They are loud and obnoxious.  It is dark so I can’t send them outside but I am about to tell them to go to bed.  Being tween/teen boys they are determined they are still hungry after eating half of a pizza each (16″ pizza at that).  I am doing my best to not yell but sometimes I wonder what to do with this age of kids who just don’t settle down and then get an attitude with you when you say something. 

My conclusion…breathe deeply and pop an Excedrin or two.  I am just lost and can’t think of what else to do so say a prayer I survive another evening of wired boys!

A Float Through Restaurant

I am almost laughing but I imagine this could get busy.  KFC has put a new location no where else but on Lake Michigan in Chicago.  Instead of pulling up your car you just float by in your boat.  Too funny what will they do next!
