I started to try to plan out the week and then I found out that my parents are coming into town so I am working on a meal plan that will include two extra people for the weekend. We are going to have a lot of things going on with the Christ Church Consignment sale on Saturday and George Mason Library book sale on Sunday.  We need super easy lunches and dinners that aren't going to take a lot of prep time in the kitchen.  I am hoping that I can pull this off but I am not sure.  I put two take out meals in there because my mom loves to take my son to get his favorite pizza and she loves the Chinese food here so she tries to have it every time she is here and we didn't have it last time.  Hope that with these two meals planned in, we have enough time for everything including a special breakfast or two!!

Another month over and I was surprised to see how quickly it went.  I picked up the calendar and tried to put a few meals on the October calendar and I was having a hard time planning on whether it was going to be warm or cold to pick out meals.  Here is hoping that the weather stays cool but we can still do a lot of grilling.  The great thing about the weather in Virginia is that you can basically grill all year.  Of course, that never stopped my mom in Upstate New York because she would shovel a tunnel to the grill to do things in the middle of the winter so I guess where there is a will, there is a way.  I try to move things around so that my husband isn't standing out in the pouring rain or snow while making our yummy dinner but sometime you just have to have some yummy grilled chicken.  Right??  I hope that you have a great month planned and I look forward to sharing my plan with you.
