Menu Monday, Play Day, and the Sweetest 8 Week Old!

So yesterday Mills and I headed to the grocery store and I spent $78 and bought enough groceries to cook dinner for the entire week - I was pretty proud of myself. :) I decided that on Mondays I'll do my menu planning for the week and grocery shopping. I mean, hey, at least while I'm on maternity leave I've gotta make a good case for why I would make such a good housewife/stay at home mom, right?!?!? ;) I've found lots of fabulous (and low cholesterol) recipes.  Last night we had salad and shrimp and wild rice casserole, and tonight we had roasted tomato, honey, and balsamic Chicken with sauteed spinach and pearled garlic and olive oil couscous - Mmmmmm, it was delicious!

Of course, with an infant around it's not so easy to cook dinner, so this is how I've been multi-tasking...

The evening hours are not Mills' favorite, as he is quite the little fussy bear, but he does like to snuggle with his dad when he gets home.

This morning Mills and I (after he slept ELEVEN hours straight last night) had a little playtime. We named all of his stuffed animals and he was so stinkin' cute that I had to take his picture with all of his new friends. :)

I can't believe he turned 8 weeks old yesterday - I'm kind of a fan of this little face:

But can you blame me???? :)
