I'm really looking forward to having time to spend with Ivy - during the week it's pick her up, feed her, bathe her and send her to bed. I don't get much play-time with her and I'm so excited that I'll be able to now. Problem is, I don't know what to do with Ivy during the summer though. She's only 18 months. Area activities are designed for 3+ crowd, expensive and not entirely local. Sure there are a lot of things we can do at home but... we don't have a backyard for all those backyard activities the internet suggests and... CABIN FEVER.
But I know I do have plans for meals. What a segue, huh?
Menu Plan Monday
Sunday - Fried catfish, mashed potatoes and key lime pie
Monday - BBQ! Sure, we've been using the grill for a few weeks, but still, it's the BBQ holiday that kickstarts the summer. Peak grilling season. Anyway... BBQ sausages and chicken, grilled corn on the cobb and maybe mac and cheese.
Tuesday - Leftovers
Wednesday - Hamburgers
Thursday - Pizza
Friday - Lasagna
Saturday - Early dinner out with family?? Or leftovers
More menus at OrgJunkie.
PS: Since I will have more time on my hands, I plan on blog-hopping and commenting. I would like to make some internet buddies and I know I have to be the one to put myself out there. I'm also hoping to generate some more ideas for my menus. Hamburgers and pizza are weekly dinners and... well, I want something different!
We don't have a lot to do for younger kids out here either. We did a LOT of walks and trips to the park. Also our (va) libraries do summer activities for children of all ages and do story time as well. Maybe you could look into that. We did that a majority of our summer as well. When was your daughter born?? It sounds like our daughters are about a year apart. My DD was born December of 2008.
