A trip to the pumpkin patch & meal planning...

We took the boys to the pumpkin patch this week.
It was hot, hot, hot. The cute long-sleeved fall outfits had to stay home.
I'm so ready for it to start cooling off and be fall already.



I can't believe we got a cute family picture of the 4 of us!

Jack is obssessed with tractors and transportation right now.
He was thrilled to get to drive.

Joshy is all smiles {as long as he's being held.}

And I am still a walking zombie.

After taking about a looooooooooooooooong {6 month} break from
meal planning & cooking anything I'm finally {finally} getting back to it.

And, like everything else in life,

I really don't mind it once I get going.

It's just the getting started part that's hard.
damned inertia.

And it's so satisfying when I actually pull off

making yummy & cheap & healthy meals.
Here's my week...
