Things have been SOO much smoother. Two of ours are beginning to act a little picky which isn't good for a mostly vegetarian family. ugh!<br /><br />3) I know what you mean about books. I'm a librarian and hubby is an English professor, so you can imagine our house. This summer we started going through all our books and separating out what we don't absolutely need (like what we could check out from the local libraries or at least get easily through ILL). It's nice downsizing a bit. Simplicity makes it easier to breathe. WHEW!<br /><br />4) My daughter LOVES to have picnics outside. We don't have a deck, so we just use a blanket or sit out on the steps. But OH NO on bee problem. Glad that's fixed.<br /><br />Love your Maybe Monday. Is this a regular Meme? If not, you should start it. So neato! And goes well with the To-Do Tuesday meme I just joined.

I really love using it but just like crunches you still have to do them:(<br /><br />The weekly meal plan works like a charm for us Kelly! Every week before groceries we make a list of our dinners. Then we only buy what we need for those meals plus breakfast and lunch items. I can't imagine now not making the meal plan. Having said that, I am also very lucky to have such an enthusiastic chef on hand. But I do pitch in. Every several weeks I make a batch of spaghetti sauce and a batch of curry. We have these on Mondays and Thursdays with salad when Shaune is working late. Shaune also makes a big pot of soup every several weeks and on Tuesdays or Wednesdays we have soup and sandwiches. BUT this could all go out the window when Deaglan starts eating what we eat. If he continues on the way he is, I may have to start up Kim's diner. Maybe we could go into business together!<br /><br />And I can totally relate to the pile of books!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564542013071462911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911067505461648404.post-77759941758308126542009-07-21T09:54:24.130-04:002009-07-21T09:54:24.130-04:00i vote for the 'bender ball', i mean it HA...i vote for the 'bender ball', i mean it HAS to work, right???

That sounds like the most fun and might turn into memories that you cannot replace. Everything else can wait. I'd choose the meal planning as second though. I often will cook 2-3 meals on a Sunday so I have more time to spend with my family during the workweek.
