Menu Plan Monday



I've decided to join Laura with her Menu Plan Monday. This will be my first post, so forgive me if it's a little simple and plain.
Monday - Ham Leftovers with Potatoes and Veggies
Tuesday - Meatloaf with Rice Pilaf
Wednesday - Crockpot Chicken
Thursday - Pork Chop Casserole
Friday - Homemade Pizza
Saturday - Spaghetti & Garlic Bread (and mom's night out with the girls, so daddy gets to cook!)
Sunday - Pork Roast
Maybe next week when my head cold is all gone I can jazz this up a bit!

Is night really for sleeping??

Well, it's almost 4 am, and I've been up since 1:30 am. First, it was with Daniel. I think he's having some growing pains. He woke up twice tonight, rubbing his legs and saying "owie". I spent 30 minutes each time with him, rubbing his legs until he could fall back to sleep. The second time he wanted new jammies on - not quite sure what that was all about. As soon as I changed his diaper and put him in new jammies, he settled right down. Maybe they other jammies are itchy - I'll have to check that out later. At 2 am Gretchen decided she needed a bottle, so wwe cuddled in the rocking chair while she drank her bottle. I really need to break her of this waking up in the middle of the night for 2 ounces! She's 14 months old, and it's high time she slept through the night. But I'm a softie! I got her back to sleep, and went back to bed myself, and while trying to fall asleep I kept thinking of e-mails I needed to send out. So, I got up, sent the e-mails, and now, almost 2 hours later, I'm still sitting here at the computer. It just sucks you in sometimes! As soon as I post this, I'm headed back to bed. Hope you all were able to sleep better tonight than I was!

A Cup of Sunshine



















I took these pictures on Feb. 17, when Gretchen was still sick with the flu. I caught her playing in the sunshine streaming through our living room window, and it looked just like she had caught a cup of sunshine in her little green cup. You can see by her eyes that she's not feeling good - poor little thing! She lost 2 pounds while she was sick with the flu. But she's much better now, and eating normally again.
