Weekend Wrap-up & Menu Monday

Saturday, our family of three went to the State Fair.  Smart Daddy carried Lil'T in the Deuter kid-carrier.  So many people commented on Lil'T's ride.  He enjoys being up there.  Taller than Daddy?  Woo hoo!  Unfortunately, I did not have the camera out and ready during our fair adventure.  Being the worry wart that I am, I was constantly telling asking T to move into the shade so Lil'T would be out of the sun.  We were hoping for a bigger reaction to seeing the cows, horses, pigs, and goats, but he enjoyed people watching.  By the time we found the petting zoo, Lil'T was napping.

Backslider.  Lil'T was sleeping much better.  I spent the week working on regular naps and sleeping in his own bed (crib).  Unfortunately, we screwed everything up this weekend.  Naps?  What's a nap?  Lil'T took catnaps...if he napped at all!  Night-night sleep was much worse.  He was up every hour until an exhausted mommy laid down in the daybed with him.  Today, he napped.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some good night-night sleeping.  There's been a nursing strike today.  Hopefully he's not relying on nursing all night!

Sunday, we three set out on a hiking trip.  We were traveling an hour away to check out a new state park.  We, the parents hoped Lil'T would sleep in the car to and from our adventure.  We were very wrong!

Happy Hikers!

No rock climbing - several signs were posted

Monday wrapped up a three day weekend for the hubs.  We checked out 6 or so houses with our realtor.  Lil'T chose to nap on this car ride, so we took turns looking at some of the houses.  We found a house we really liked, but it has a lovely view of some power lines.  Ick.  While we haven't ruled it out, we're still very early in our search.

No grocery store today.  Lil'T and I will make the weekly trek tomorrow.  If not, we'll all be eating pureed fruits, veggies, and pumpkin butter.  I made pumpkin butter this weekend.  I should have learned to can!  Can you freeze this stuff??  Here's what we're eating/have eaten:

M - Grilled Chicken, pan roasted okra, and lima beans
T- Pindi Chana over brown rice
W - Pork Loin, roasted vegetables
Th - Broccoli Soup and Grilled Cheese
F - Spicy Tofu Bento Bowls
S - Taco Pizza

Nothing crazy or special.  As always, the schedule is subject to change.  We haven't been eating out, so I'm trying to have stuff on hand for weekend meals.  Stay tuned for my weekly overspending report.  ;-)
