Planning meals

So I tried to finish another one of those goals, over there...<--------

Planning meals for a month.

I made a list of what I was going to cook every night.

I bought a little calendar and wrote it all down.

I had nights for leftovers.

I went to the store and bought exactly what I needed, nothing more, nothing less.

I only spent $200, which is awesome in Alaska.

I have been making meals. Sticking to the plan.

BUT

I didn't take into consideration that we have a room mate. He goes through phases of when he eats and doesn't. He will eat out every day for a month and then eat here three meals a day.

SOOOOO

I'm going to have to put a hold on the meal planning until we move.

Darn.

I was so excited that I only spent $200.

Ethan

This is Ethan. I got to watch him the other day while his mom went to school with his older brother.

He is such a little pill but SOOOO fun!

It was a beautiful day in Anchorage....almost in the 60's!!! (I know, right?!)

So today it is 62 and these are the only pictures I have of the sun.

In the past two days, the grass behind him has turned green.

Once the snow is gone, it only take a few days for the grass to grow. Our sun is up for 16 hours now. We gain about 5 minutes of sunlight a day. That's lots of growing time for seeds, and grass.

This is Shawn and Ethan. "We went fast!!!!" said Ethan.

FYI: They did not go fast, otherwise they would have had helmets on!!

Day 5

I was trying to find a picture of our friend Shawn. This is him and my sister in September. They started dating the day after this.
He is moving in with us for a few months while he finishes out his military career. He is Chris' best friend and a really great guy.
