Menu Plan Monday -13 May 2019

It's been a busy few weeks.

First we had Grandma's 71st birthday.  My sister and brother-in-law came up for the weekend.

Last weekend was my birthday -48!!

I'm still getting used to the selfie function on my new phone.

Yeah, nothing to add...

I wish this one wasn't blurry.  It's so hard to get a good picture with Mom.

Why haven't there been many Yarn Along posts lately?  Well, besides trying to keep the house ready for company, I've been busy finishing up Ella's costume for Comic-Con in Ottawa.  Here she is with her friend Hannah.  Ella is a 'gender bend' Inuyasha.  That means we've taken a boy character and made it into a girl costume.  Inuyasha is one of her favourite anime.   Boy, did she get a lot of compliments and pictures taken -even the professional photographers wanted her picture.

I didn't realize I forgot to get a good full-length picture of her.  We're supposed to be going to the comic-con in Niagara Falls in June, so I'll have to get a good one then.

Lots of cool things, as usual.  It was great to see my friend Teresa and all her beautiful things.  She makes the prettiest circlets, but Ella's not little and doesn't play princess anymore.

Gaming station where we could 'take a load off' check out some new games.  They could make a fortune if they had a "moms area" -you know; some comfy places to sit, have a drink, and still keep an eye on the kids.

So what's up for this week?  Well, hopefully Colin can continue getting some cropping done.  He did some cultivating on the weekend.  We had a bit of rain today and since we have clay, it's slowing things down.  Tonight hopefully the other home schoolers will show up and we can start filming their Shakespeare play.  Other than that, no real plans.

Monday:
Hamburger Helper -beef noodle, Ella's favourite
Tuesday:
cracklin' chicken
German potato salad and Parmesan cauliflower -two new recipes
Wednesday:
perogie
Thursday:
pork chops
Friday:
sweet and sour chicken
Saturday:
Not sure what to make on the weekend.  Hopefully, Colin will be too busy out in the field to stop for supper and I'll just grab something easy.  Please God!  It's getting late.

I almost forgot to show you the Mother's day gift I bought myself at Comic-Con.  It's the moon on the night Ella was born.  It glows in the dark too.
