THE PETERSENS

I had so many great intentions and ideas of blogging a post before my next menu plan rolled around…and it just never happened!  Seems like I am always adjusting to something new in our lives and this past week it has been 1.) homeschooling 1st grade with my oldest and 2.) caring for my teething 6-month-old.  Besides that, we have had a GREAT Labor Day weekend!  It consisted of much yard work, planting our fall garden, a run to Sam’s Club, time with my dear husband, watching my kids play in their little pool, feeding Isaac baby food for the first time and watching Season 3 episodes of 24.  We rarely get such relaxing weekends together as a family, so I am thankful.  Now we are gearing up for an eventful week, so the food on the menu this week is going to be quite simple.  ; )
