I can’t believe we are in the last week of February already! It seems like that pesky little-lying groundhog just peeked out of his hole. It’s been cold around these parts making it difficult and unpalatable to do anything outdoors. I notice when it gets this cold I tend to hibernate in my house and only go out when absolutely necessary.

Last week was a busy one. I took the older kids to our very first London Lighting basketball game and we had a blast. This was the first live professional basketball game I had ever witnessed and it was definitely interesting and I’m glad we got to experience it. I understand most of the rules of the game, but I left with one big question on my mind……what is the 24 second countdown on each net for??? I wanted to ask the young men beside me, but there just wasn’t a good way to intrude on them. So, can anyone of you tell me???

We’ve also been dealing with sickies around these parts for the last week and a half. We’ve had fevers, coughs and runny noses and eyes and ear aches. I’m done. Just when I think they’re done, the fever comes back and we start all over again and then another kid gets struck down. So I’m in survival mode, doing the bare minimum housework and just trying to keep up on the laundry. Plus I’m drinking pots of Holy Basil tea trying to keep myself from also getting sick. Wish me luck!

This week should be fairly normal with nothing extra going on, which should be good for getting the kids back to health. I have some pretty easy meals planned for this week as a result and I’ve kept them rather unadventurous because of the picky sicky eaters. So here is the plan:

Monday – Cheesy Broccoli Cauliflower Bake

Tuesday – Basa Filets, Rice, and a veggie

Wednesday – Garlic Roasted Chicken Thighs with Carrots and Potatoes

Thursday – Meatless Chili

Friday – Brussel Sprout and Steak Stir Fry

Saturday – Pad Thai

Sunday – Pizza

I’m really looking forward to the stir fry on Friday, I found that recipe on Pinterest and just had to add it to the menu for this week!

What will you be eating?
