The Polar Vortex

Day #2


Okay God has an amazing sense of humor! The “Polar Vortex” hit us this week and my 2, 3, and 7 year old children have been going stir crazy. I mean when they weren't sliding down the stairs, or wrestling each other to the floor to steal kisses (okay they get that from me), then they were eating all of the snack in the house. Thank the LORD school is open tomorrow. I am going to put several layers on them and pray that they don't get sick. At least the snacks were healthy!!!


So for today we had another late breakfast. Boiled eggs, turkey bacon, and toast. I wanted my smoothie so bad. My girlfriend has me hooked!! Thanks Lex! But anyway.... the kids had apples and bananas for mid morning snacks. Lunch we did simple Lunchable style with chips and bottled water. Then they went on a fruit snack binge in the afternoon. I actually had to hide the remaining packs so my oldest would actually have something for lunch.  My baby boy actually got a hold of the hummas and pita chips and posted up in front of the fire with SpongeBob! It was so funny to watch. 

So I tried something different for dinner tonight. I actually shopped my pantry and fridge. I found everything to make meatloaf. What's awesome is that it was not in the menu plan for this week. I had everything I needed to make meatloaf right in my house. AWESOME!! So for dinner we have meatloaf, steamed broccoli and carrots, and I made mashed potatoes (from scratch) but they were already eating by the time they were done. So I will use them for dinner tomorrow. 

Now my plan is to start taking pictures of these meals. Small steps! Small steps! I also got some cleaning done today. Not much but  I got two loads of laundry done and that makes me happy!! Now I gotta get these clothes folded and put up!!!


Tootles!
