This weekend is the last before school begins. My high school boy goes back on Monday and the homeschoolers begin a week from Monday -- next week I'll be busy getting ready. This weekend we have Noah's family party -- on Saturday night. We're having several varieties of pizza, none of which are standard pizza fare -- hopefully my crowd will not find them too weird. Next week I will try to keep our meals simple, as we all adjust to having the daily drive to pick up from school, and the homework load after school and in the evening. I'll try to fit in some of the kids' favorite foods, too, to make the transition happier.Saturday

i so appreciate your menus. those chocolate cream filled cupcakes will definitely be made in my home sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteI remember (long ago when i taught first grade) a parent bringing in cupcakes like this and I was shocked and amazed at how she made them! She told me the secret but I still haven't made them. I promise to change that come birthday season here in our house!
