MENU PLAN

Last week I never got a chance to post our menu.  We were really busy, some kids were sick, and I just never had a chance to sit down and type up a post for it.  But I'm back this week with what's on our menu from today until Friday.  

My husband watched the kids (except for Jude) for me while I went grocery shopping today, so it was just little Jude and me out at Costco today.  Talk about a quiet grocery shopping experience!  It was rather strange not having to keep up with the other three kids.   Jude slept in the Ergo the whole time and I got stopped more than a few times with people wanting to see him and ask how old he was.  

I didn't get a chance to take pictures of what I bought today because I had to nurse Jude as soon as I got home and Alanna was screaming for me.  But here is our menu.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Hope you all have a wonderful evening and a fabulous Sunday!
