Menu Plan Monday.. July 7-12, 2008 and we’re home!

Here are some photos of the Lake Cottage in Minnesota.
Looking up at the trees..

Than-the-man with his buddy, Josiah in the hammock. Could be brothers?

Look at the cottage!

Grandma and the kids..
O.K. that was a little bit of the Minnesota fun, spent with DH’s family at the cottage. Yes, I did transport 7 kids by myself.. (the kids brought 2 friends: Kara and Josiah in the center front)
We got home last week and made a quick turnaround to go up north to visit my family in the U.P. of Michigan.
So, now that we’re home, how to I manage to get cleaned up from 2 trips? not very easily.
Let’s just say that it is 1:00 p.m. and we’re just cleaning up from breakfast, only have the second load of laundry in, and have just now managed to clear a path through the livingroom. The suitcases and sleeping bags ARE put away, and I’m starting to get ready to think about dinner and shopping for groceries. Whew! I think we were all just EXHAUSTED and only wanted to sleep.

Today (Monday): Teriyaki turkey, rice, stir fried broccoli.
