How goes it everyone! Hope your Easter was good! It was like Christmas morning for our kid lol we went overboard... oh well!! We don't tend to buy him much because he has so many awesome grandparents that also want to spoil him to bunches.. sigh.. #OnlyChildProblems haha. Hubby normally does the Easter shopping but this year I did it... When I got to the store I felt like I was in the twilight zone omg so much candy everywhere.. for some reason it's much different than Halloween candy idk.. Regardless I love it all. I brought the candy home last weekend and split his up so we could have half.. he doesn't need ALL the candy.. well 2 nights later it was gone............ Hey... hubby helped lol. But yes Easter.. What a beautiful day for it too!! We decided to sit outside on the back porch with our big blanket and have a picnic lunch! It was really nice.. And tonight we will have steak, a pasta side dish, broccoli.. maybe some homemade biscuits or rolls haven't decided yet.. when I made my menu last week I didn't think about Sunday being Easter at the time.. so I laughed when I saw that I put chicken nuggets and french fries.. wow real classy for an Easter dinner.. lol. OHH well no biggy it is solved! And Easter has been accomplished! He woke up to his baskets from the Easter bunny and basically had candy for breakfast.. Then we dyed eggs and we did an inside Easter Egg Hunt for him.. that was really fun... I bought one set of glittery eggs and we put special prizes in those.. I got a set of 3 mini thomas the train engines he was excited to find them!! Lol the green glittery ones had money in them.. the others had mini candy bars.. it was pretty awesome. Little dude is happy so that's all I care about! Annnnywho. I suppose since Easter has come and tomorrow is Monday it's time to get serious about the spring cleaning...
NOOOOOOOO!!!! lol. I know things are going to get much messier before they're tidy and organized but it's just one of those things I suppose... I do have a list already but I need to go ahead and finalize zones and areas.. I don't know if it's part of some sort of procrastination technique that I have come to rely on or what but I have to write things down first.. get it on paper and organized a certain way before I feel comfortable starting certain tasks.. So I need to get everything down on paper so I feel like I have a game plan. Things hardly ever go as planned but you know it's always good to have something to fall back on just in case lol as you will see I do repeat meals on my menus somewhat often because there are times I don't end up making dinner or we end up doing something quick.. sometimes you just have to make the shift. And speaking of making shifts lol.... As I went to make my meal plan I suddenly remembered that hubby won't be home for dinner from Wednesday until Sunday... so that kind of put a damper in my menu process but I adapted... So for Monday and Tuesday we are going to have our regular family meals and then Wednesday through Sunday we're going to have Kid Friendly Dinners!! Seems only fair that since hubby isn't going to be joining us for dinner that I change it up a bit for little man.. and myself.. I'm really not too picky these days.. I could eat cereal for dinner and feel just fine about it lol. So without further ado here is my adapted menu for the week: Monday: BBQ Chicken Pizza {Didn't make this last week} Tuesday: Chicken Bowls + Homemade Corn Bread Wednesday: Homemade Chicken Nuggets & Mac/Cheese + Peas Thursday: Taco Quesadillas Friday: Pizzadillas or Mini Pizza Calzones {No Yeast Dough} Saturday: Baked Crispy Ranch Chicken & Green Beans + Baby Carrots & Ranch Sunday: Pizza Pasta w/ Ground Beef & Homemade Garlic Bread {Tentative Hubby's Schedule} So that was our Easter and now I'm planning for tomorrow and the rest of this busy week to come!! Hope you all have a great night! Happy Easter VintageModMom

Along with all these other exciting events today I also must double check the date to register my little man for Kindergarden.
I'm so not ready for him to go to school... super boo!!! I'm having lots and lots of feelings about him starting Kindergarden but regardless of my feelings I really hope he enjoys it. I hope he makes new friends.. I hope he enjoys learning.. I hope he's not bored.. Oh so many hopes for him. I hope that he finds his path.. and that it is a good path.. and that he walks it with his head held high.. I know he's only 4 soon to be 5 but time doesn't waiver so I will make my hopes known before the time to express them has passed. I know we will all adjust.. the change is the thing.. I have to accept the change and be prepared for the chaos that preceeds it. All I can do is be aware and adjust myself accordingly. While also keeping in mind that depending upon how things go we may decide to homeschool him. So we always have that as a side option or something that we are keeping in mind. He's very smart, learns quickly.. He is also very high energy and just as impatient and stubborn as any other 4 soon to be 5 year old.. so.. we each have our challenges all I can do is be aware that all these things are happening and that change is happening.. This will also be a time that I will have to lean on my hubby a bit.. He's much stronger in these circumstances.. he has to leave us every morning so that he can provide and I truly salute him for that.. he's the greatest, granted sending our kid off to school will be very different but I think that he will handle it much better than I will haha.. So that's what's up around here today and lately... PB & J Cookies.. Autism Awareness.. Kindergarden Registration Also our vehicles needed new tags last month (oops) so apparently that's on my immediate to-do list.. YAY I'm so excited... who doens't love the DMV?!? Okay yes. Sarcasm. Shrugs.. I think I'm going to tackle that tomorrow.. {Yup tomorrowland where everything gets done haha} Just going to get all my paperwork gathered today... Plus I have cookies to make.. rain to avoid... and a spring cleaning list to do something with.. seems all I've done with my list is talk about it so far haha... I guess I did say yesterday that I would share my list.. So why not.. I will follow up with pics once the super cleaning begins but MY SPRING CLEANING LIST: Inventory Sewing Supplies Organize Craft Corner {dining room} Organize Cosmetology Supplies {hubby now uses my toolbox} Remove ALL boxes from the house Inventory Items to be Mailed + Mail them Revisit the Office/Guest Room Organization Organize Bedroom Closet Clean Out Breakfast Nook Area Take Baby Clothes to Neighbor Wash Dining Room Wall {Had a hot sauce predicament I did clean it at the time but it needs more work} Clean Oven {Vinegar, Baking Soda, Salt} Clean Out Kitchen {Organize Cabinets etc} Move Things to Attic Yeah so most of my list isn't actually like "deep cleaning" but we just moved into this house in October and it took so so long to unpack everything etc.. I will still do some cleaning but for the most part the house still feels brand new.. I'm sure once I get started my list will expand but so far this is it... How is your spring cleaning going?? What do your lists look like?? Anywho if I'm going to accomplish things today I must get moving!! Thank you for stopping by!! Comments.. emails.. etc always welcome!! Be sure to follow me on FB, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter... I will be posting updates today as I bake my cookies etc. Hope everyone has a fantastic Thursday!! Much love! VintageModMom Well I knew it was coming but it seems like it came rather quickly even still lol.
OH wellll.... hey April what is up? So far it's a very very foggy April morning... But the sun is starting to rise and it's starting to burn off. Soooo I guess I need to go ahead and discuss something I've been in serious denial about. I guess it has been about 2 weeks now... but my camera is broken. I KNOW!!!! IT SUCKS SO BAD!!!! However.. I'm already working towards getting myself a new one and I'm going to get a more "professional" grade camera so I can take better photos for life and for the blog =) Plus living where we live now.. omg I could get so many amazing nature shots.. So I'm working towards that.. So.. one woman's devastation is the same woman's upgrade?? Idk. Something.. It does still make my insides hurt when I talk about it though so now that I have admitted that I'm back to using a very dinky cell phone camera let us move along.... LOL. And yes my 4 year old did break my camera... Moving along though I said dang!!! lol. So yesterday I didn't get a whole lot accomplished.. Well. I did get us fed... breakfast.. lunch for me and little man.. hubby is on his own since the office is so far from the house.. and I got dinner done.. Also got the essentials.. laundry and dishes done... But any other tidying up or cleaning? Nada. Except an almost full day of painting with my little man!! And I know that soon... sooner than I wish he will be big enough to handle pouring his own paints.. and so I decided to take that time to be with him.. Because each day is truly special.. I'm only given one shot at that day and I try to the make the most of every one that I get. Although there are still cans and dried goods out from grocery shopping last weekend that haven't been put away yet.. and my house looks like Toys R Us exploded and my house was the debris catcher... this too shall pass... Eventually the groceries will get used if they don't make it to the pantry lol Which... you never know... they may... they may not.. I have no shame over this... it's not like I have frozen food or produce out rotting I put away the things that needed to be kept refrigerated/frozen.. As for the toys.. well.. I'm sure I will miss them one day as well. However... today is not that day haha.. I think if I have to carefully navigate myself through the house for one more day I'm going to lose my mind lol. So after a day of fun & games it's time to get to work!! Work and play are both necessary! Must keep the balance =) I hope you all have a great first day of April! Don't be fooled hehe. Honestly I'll be so relieved once this day is over lol I think tomorrow I will be posting my Spring cleaning list.. *tentatively* I know Easter is Sunday so we shall see what happens.. Much love and thanks for coming by. VintageModMom |
