Good night photos
We had a super lazy day today, and before I settle in to watch a movie with Mike, I thought I’d end the with a few photos from last weekend.

Happy Tired
It’s our last night with Mandy, Josh, and Olivia. I’m already sad. Griff’s already sad. I’m worried he’ll freak out in the morning like he did last year. And I’m worried about my first day in my new position at work tomorrow.
We are all exhausted. My kids are both playing Wii with Mandy and Olivia at 8:41 on a school night. Tomorrow may be a taxing day for all of us.
But I wouldn’t change a moment of it. Not even me and Mandy getting lost with Eliza and Olivia by ourselves after midnight at Disney. That’ll just turn into a story Eliza tells every year when she insists on going with the boys and not the mamas.
Happy tired is the very best tired of all.

Visit love, with Disney photos
So far, we’ve done a full day of activity at Disney and a full day of lazy at home. It’s been great fun.
Eliza, Olivia, and Griff… way past their bedtimes
Olivia’s first haircut ever … at Disney

Now, I’m off to make a Coca-Cola Cake for the birthday dinner - celebrating Mike, Eliza & Josh’s birthday - and to play Mario on the Wii.

Menu Plan Monday - the MJO visit!
We are SO excited about our friends - Mandy, Josh, and Olivia - coming to visit. They’re going to be arriving Thursday evening, so they’ll be a part of our menu this week. In addition to the allergies our kids have, Olivia is allergic to soy, and Mandy is on a low sodium diet for her heart. Josh has no allergies, just a general pickiness that fits in right nicely with us. So, no onions, peppers or tomatoes, either. Mike can’t have melon without Benadryl.
Monday - leftover Chicken Enchilada Soup - sooo yummy
Tuesday - Jambalaya - without the mushrooms… who puts mushrooms in jambalaya?!
Wednesday - leftover jambalaya
Thursday -We’ll be picking them up at the airport around 7 p.m. and then we’ll eat at the Spaghetti Warehouse in Ybor City on the way back. Best soup ever.
Friday -Breakfast - it’s Friday & here in our house, every Friday morning is Chick Fil A morning. We’ll have CFA before we head out for our day at Disney. Lunch and dinner will be at Disney. Woohoo!
Saturday - Breakfast - I’m guessing everyone’s gonna be worn out after Friday’s day at the happiest place on earth, so we’re gonna have pancakes to start our day. … Lunch - grilled chicken sanwiches… Dinner - Mike’s going to grill burgers, and we’ll have all of the yummy sides.
Sunday - Breakfast - homemade waffles or muffins. Group vote. … Lunch - chicken tacos … We’re heading back to Disney for the Not So Scary Halloween, so we’ll have dinner at Disney.
Working on this menu reminds me of how little thought I put into the nutritional aspects of our meals. I’m gonna have to start working harder at that.
Monday - A home day. We’re going to rest Monday morning, homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. We’re going to go paint our own pottery late morning and have the Mongolian Grill for lunch, at Josh’s request. Dinner - pork roast, baked potatoes, fresh veggies.
I’m sure I’ll have to amend this as the week goes along, but this is what we have at this point.
