Menu Plan: May 4 - 9
T-ball started last week. So, we have ballet at least four days a week, t-ball two days a week, this week there is the Lego club, fencing once a week, plus school, work, church, and family activities. Oh, and Alexander started his first job (besides babysitting, pet sitting, house sitting). He's mowing the lawn for our neighborhood social club. Fortunately for us, he can ride his bike there and back and the lawn mower and other equipment is stored there, so we don't have to drive for that. This leaves exactly no days this week in which we aren't going somewhere after school/work even on the weekends. And ballet recital rehearsals are coming up, too. It's a busy time for us, trying to finish up end of school year work, field trips, getting the garden in, and so on. It's fun, but exhausting.
So, we have some repeats this week. We still have about 15 pounds of asparagus, so we're eating that a lot. Our meals this week are mostly planned to use what we have already.
