Fat Chick Fed Up

Menu plan, Week of April 9-April 15

 Good Monday morning everyone! I hope that you all had a restful Easter weekend and were able to spend time with your families. The Chick Magnet flew in Saturday morning and he gets to stay until the 18th so we are happy people around here! We have lots of special events happening this week. Tonight I get to go to Mom’s Night Out with a few girlfriends, Wednesday I am getting my hair done, Thursday my son is having surgery (nothing major, but this mama still worries-prayers appreciated!), then we are having our family pictures done, Saturday my kids have their BIG district Bible quiz meet (so that means lots and lots of studying this week), and Sunday my 7 year old is being baptized and we are celebrating the baby’s second birthday (he turns two on the 16th). Good times! I hope that you all have a wonderful week!

Here’s what we’re eating this week!

• Breakfast: Steel-cut oats (eggs for me-trying to limit my carbs)
