Weekly Menu 1/16/12-1/22/12

This was a surprisingly very busy weekend for us. It was not planned out to be a busy one, but it just kind of happened.  Saturday was really the only day we had stuff planned out for. We all had dentist appointments and my girls are cavity free ( can I get a Whoop Whoop) and to reward them, we took them to go see Beauty and the Beast 3D; which they loved of course!
But our big news is, Josh and I got a new car! A “New to Us” SUV actually. We didn’t go into the weekend with car shopping on our mind. We new that eventually we would need to buy a new car. The one I was driving, was on borrowed time. But we didn’t expect it to happen this fast. I wanted/needed something that would eventually fit our family that wants to grow, whether that be a mini van or suv I just wanted more space for passengers. What we ended up getting was an SUV, a beautiful blue Volvo XC-90.  What I really like about this car is that is a no fuss no frills SUV. It has all the features I appreciate without being to complicated or over the top. And the best part…it seats 7 people!!!! I love that!

So now onto the menu, almost! We have had some very wintery weather lately. Lot’s of snow that has become a lot of wet slush and rain. We just keep getting a dusting but then it rains and it’s gone. So with that, I had plans for today to make a Carrot Cake with my cute sister who also happens to help me out a lot in the kitchen. But, because of the weather, we’ve pushed the cake baking back to next week.
