Menu Plan Monday - March 21 - 26

How was your week last week?  We had a fabulous March Break.  The kids I think had a great time. It was Miss. Bean's birthday, St. Paddy's Day, we went to the movies, played outdoors - had the best weather over a March Break that I can ever remember, and spent some time with great friends all through the week.

Now this week, we're back to school and routines. That week vacation sure made me (and the kids) anxious for summer break. Also this week we will be celebrating Little E's 2nd birthday!  How is it possible my little baby is going to be 2 already? I swear it seems like he was just born a couple months ago.  Although, the temper tantrums are a quick reminder that he wasn't. ;)

So with routines back in place and a birthday on the calendar - here is this week's menu:
