THIS is what our kitchen looks like.
We are finally painting the wall after tearing out the kitchen cabinets over the counter last June. And, because I’m a crazy person, I also decided we needed to paint the 1970s wood paneled wall with built-in shelves in the living room the same weekend, so our house is pretty much a disaster. I can’t wait until we’re done and peace has been restored!
Despite the home madness, we have another fun week ahead of us!
MONDAY:
– I’m taking the kids to Sea World for one last visit before our passes expire
TUESDAY:
– New Years Eve with the kids! Gram’s meatballs, Pat’s Oriental Chicken Salad, chicken tenders, spinach artichoke dip, cranberry slush, and of course sweet treats of some sort! Then early to bed so we can get up for…
WEDNESDAY:
– Heading to Pasadena early in the morning with the kids for the Tournament of Roses Parade! Then Nate and I are going to the Rose Bowl while our kids hang out with their Auntie Anne. Nate and I will eat at the game, I’ll let Anne figure out what to do with my kids 😉
THURSDAY:
– Homemade pizza – planning to make this with the kids as a fun vacation activity, we’ll probably make margherita pizza and honey goat cheese pizza (the kids have all decided they love those flavors – yay!)
FRIDAY:
– Malibu Melt Wraps
SATURDAY:
– Eat out
SUNDAY:
– Grammy’s Orange Chicken
– Rice and Veggie
As usual, I am looking forward to seeing your meal plans for the week! Thank you for sharing!
Happy New Year!!!

Hope your painting is finished quickly. We’ve been in that stage too often, yet I’m still amazed by how much it really seems to throw everything in life seemingly off.
that’s a lot of new recipes – impressive!
and, yeah, the painting did not go quickly…you’re right, it totally throws everything off! thankfully it is finally all done! (although I’m still cleaning up the mess! 😉 )
