Dinner this Week - 05.31.15

We are in full summer swing with tball, 4-H, summer camp and more. This week I am home all week, but the upcoming calendar is pretty crazy with in-state and out of state trips weekly through all of June and July. Last week Anne was with Grandma and Grandpa for an extended weekend, and I went to Ames for a couple of days.

Because of the rainy weather, we still haven't planted beans. The target is Tuesday before more rain later in the week. The rain has given us some family time that is usually hard to come by this time of year.

Dinner will be a lot of quick fix, grab and go things to accommodate the crazy schedule.

It is an important week at our house. Anne will finish Kindergarten on Thursday. We've all learned a lot this year! She will celebrate with a weekend with grandma and grandpa in Denver.

Monday
Tball practice and lots of errands - dinner out.
Tuesday
The kiddos ate early and the grown-ups at late. The kiddos had fruit and Schwan's grilled chicken bites ... we LOVE these.
