I love Mondays!

I hope everyones weekend was wonderful. I went to the main strip of San Clemente, and they always have the farmers market going on there, with local street vendors--I picked up a bunch of collard greens and a bunch of this really pretty purple lettuce. There was also a house on the end of the street having a garage sale--so Alexis and I picked up these 3 boards. A cork board, a chalk board and a dry erase board---they are really big and I got all three for 1.25--woowee--now I have to hang them up.


We also picked up some new children's books--we love books!


I have been working on Little Kevin's invitations----I want to invite all my friends--and have a wonderful day:) It is easy to throw a party for a small child rather then my teenager---I have the cake all picked out--and I am working on the menu--I will share it when it is more definite. Oh, I can't show the inside of the card because it has my address and phone number--but it has baseballs in it.
I got the card stock and stickers at Michael's--I love that store. Hopefully the weather will get warmer this week so we can play in the pool and get some sunshine. Also, Alexis and I are going to plant some flowers.

Plan for the week:

My menu is in no particular order---also--most of my meals are served with a salad with the exception of tacos and nachos and dinners of that nature--which include Romaine, green leaf and red leaf---I no longer buy iceberg, just because lettuce is expensive and Iceberg has no nutritional value--so if I am going to spend money, I am going to buy the good stuff. I also add cucumbers, celery, carrots, green onion, --and if I have bell peppers--and of course tomatoes:) I have a bowl of shredded cheese to sprinkle on the top--(my husband does this) I use to sprinkle it on the salad--but I was throwing a lot of cheese away when the salad got thrown out. I also have a veggie of some sort--I like to serve fresh, but I do serve canned or frozen---and a starch, like a potato, rice or noodle. I have lots of ground beef in the freezer so it will be the main focus of my menu.

Tacos
Nachos
Meatloaf
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Hot Wings
Roast
Baked Chicken

My best friend came over and did I mention she is a hairdresser--she trimmed Alexis's hair and she colored Kevin's gray for him. Not me, I embrace my gray...LOL.

I Just absolutely adore Mondays! Even when I was a school girl, I loved Mondays. It is the start of the week, my list making day--shopping--planning menus---and just enjoying my family--oh yes, and laundry--how could I forget laundry---LOL.

Have a wonderful Monday!
