I forgot to hit Publish on this post on Sunday night and just discovered it in my drafts. Oops.
This is my first full week of both kids being on summer break.
This week is the week of appointments for the whole family. Between the front bathroom shower being resurfaced, doctor’s appointments for me, small kid, and big kid, and the dishwasher repair guy coming- it’s a full week of running all over.
The big kid and I plan to hit the YMCA as much as possible between all of our appointments. The Small Kid will probably come with us and ride a stationary bike the whole time.
The kids will be taking advantage of the free summer lunches (find out more here) as often as we can this week.
Breakfast: The kids tend to eat cereal, a bagel, or an MBS (Mrs. Bear Special) each morning for breakfast. I usually have a proffee. I cashed in all of my points at Einstein Bros. Bagels to get a free dozen bagels. They are sliced and individually wrapped in the freezer. They are definately going to be a hit this week for breakfast.
Lunch: Between free summer lunches and the tons of snacks I’ve got in the cupboard, the kids will survive. I have two plastic totes full of individually portioned self-serve snacks. I buy treats and snacks in bulk and fill up snack-sized zip-top bags. There are also preportioned fruits and veggies in the fridge.
Dinner: This week is a “use it up” week. I have a bunch of stuff leftover in the fridge from last week that didn’t get used, so this week we are leaning on what’s on hand.
- Sunday: Italian Night: Flatbread, Chicken Parm casserole (veggies included)
- Monday: Breakfast for Dinner
- Tuesday: Crockpot Meal (something with chicken)
-
Wednesday: Charcuterie Night
-
Thursday: Smoothies and Entrees
- Friday: Takeout night!
- Saturday: Leftover Palooza
It’s officially summer break! WOO HOO!
Today is the last Monday of school for my little kid.
