Not The Best Day To Go For A Walk
Monday we had a little time to waste, and I thought it would be fun to take Dylan for a walk. I needed to get my exercise in for Walk KS this week. I didn’t pick the best day though we had a bit of a wind storm, with 45 mile an hour gusts, Dylan wasn’t too happy about the wind either. We did get a half an hour walk in though.
What’s For Lunch 3/23-3/28
It is week #4 of the Not Going Out in March challenge, and that means it is time again for another lunch menu. Here is what I’ve got planned for this week’s yummy lunches:
- 3/23/09:Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, and Stuffing
- 3/24/09: Chili and Crackers, the kiddos are having Hot Pockets (Thade’s Request)
- 3/25/09: BBQ Beef Sandwiches and Fries
- 3/26/09: Lasagna and Garlic Bread
- 3/27/09: Salmon Cakes, Corn, and Rice
- 3/28/09: Popcorn Shrimp and Fries
When it comes to breakfast this week I’ve restocked the pantry with cereal for the boys. I am also planning on making a few batches of Homemade Cinnamon Rolls one for home and one for James to take to work. I think I will also make double batch of Banana Muffins too, James and Dylan really like them.

I thought it would be nice to mix up the menu a bit, and on Friday the 13th I decided to make breakfast for dinner. Now it sounds pretty simple, but somehow I managed to dirty up just about every pot and pan in the house making all of the options, but the boys loved it.
I didn’t get any pictures, because the meal was gone in a flash! Dylan was thrilled to have Bacon for dinner, and Thade couldn’t resist the pancakes. James loved the Sausage and Eggs, and my favorite was the Homemade Hash-browns.
It was a fun change-up to a routine dinner-time, and I think Breakfast for dinner will find its way onto the Monthly Dinner Menu again.

What the Boy’s Are Saying
I thought I’d interview my boy’s on what they think about the “Not Going Out In March Challenge” so far, and if they think I’ve gone completely bonkers in March.
First up is Thade!
Mom: Thade, what have you liked about the challenge so far?
Thade: Gives a big thumbs up. I’ve been really good about not eating any take-out.
Mom: What have you missed about take-out?
Thade: I don’t know, I didn’t miss anything. Oh wait I miss, Subway, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Pizza Hut, Gringo’s, and Dairy Queen, and Sonic.
Mom: Which meal or meals have been your favorite this month?
Thade: I liked everyone of them.
Mom: What challenge should we attempt next?
Thade: Eating take-out all month!
You gotta love five year old kiddos… Thade has been a really good sport this month.
Next up is my sweet hubby James
Well I was going to have a James interview for you, but he did an awesome post all about the March Challenge over at his blog. It is definitely worth a read, and James probably deserves a hug or two for being such a good sport this month.
Now for the littlest guy… Dylan
Dylan has probably been the most vocal about the challenge. He runs to his high chair, ready to see just what Mommy has in store for dinner. He always has an mmmm yummy reply, and so far he hasn’t said the words Happy Meal or Taco Bell. Dylan has been a trooper too. I think one of his favorite meals was Breakfast for Dinner, and this week I’ll be making Broccoli Cheese Casserole, his very favorite.
