Valentine's Day...just a little late

I know I am really late on posting about our Valentine's day..but better late than never. I know my mom and dad have been wanting some pictures. We love Valentine's day at our house. We don't really need a day to tell us to love each other, but why not let it be a good reminder of how we feel for each other? Ever since the kids were little, we made sure that Valentine's day was fun for our kids. We have had many treasure hunts at our house on this day. This year we did another one. Mark always does such a good job writing the clues. The presents ended up being on our bed this time. It is so much fun to watch them run around looking for new clues.

I let each of the kids pick something they wanted to eat. Ethan picked doughnuts and chocolate milk, Zach wanted a heart shaped pizza and Hannah wanted a heart shaped dessert(we had a yummy brownie desssert). They were easy to please!!

We had a great day and I loved spending the day with my family!

menu plan march 2

Baked french toast with orange julius and fruit smoothies. (We made this last night, it was so good. Make sure and have bacon or sausage to break up the sweetness)

Rigatoni with roasted vegetables I am still trying to decide if I can get away with this one.

Taco salad -a staple in our house. Some of us have soft/hard tacos and some have taco salad.

Beef Lo Mein

7up Chicken, green salad and some sort of potato. For 7up chicken, I marinate chicken breasts with 1/4 c oil, 1/2 soy sauce, 3/4 cup 7up. The longer you can marinate the better. Grill or bake.

Homemade pizza

Sorry I didn't get last week's menu up. I am going to try and still post it as I made something really yummy and I want to remember it. I wasn't motivated last week at all. We still did good of eating in every day but Saturday.
