My Weekly Menu

So my friend Marie (over at http://wwwmartha-wannabe.blogspot.com/) has inspired me many times.  This time, I have decided to follow her advice and make a weekly menu to help keep me organized both at home and at the grocery store!

I am currently making meals for my husband (when he's not at work) and myself, my three (very picky) children and three other children that I babysit.  I have found the last two weeks that having a set menu for lunch, dinner and snacks helps in keeping the kids happy and keeping myself from pulling out all my hair! 

So, on that note, here is my menu for this week (since I just started this blog, I will tell you what we ate Monday-Sunday).
