Tuesday Randoms

Yesterday I was on a mission to search for some fall decor for my dining room.  Since it was decorated for Halloween I had to put away the Halloween stuff but now my dining room is bare.  Of course I can put back my regular decor but was hoping to decorate for fall in there like the rest of my house, but no such luck :-(  There is absolutely NO fall decor anywhere!  Every store I went into its FULL of Christmas stuff.  Don't get me wrong I love Christmas but geesh!  I do have a few pinterest ideas I could do for some homemade decor and this point it looks like that's what I'll be doing!

I am still feeling pretty under the weather but I hoping this will soon pass.  This Momma does not have time to be sick.  Mom's don't get sick days :-)

The cooler is back in Florida so I am thinking we need a comfort meal for dinner tonight.... Baked Ziti it is!  Its one of the girls favorites so at least tonight at dinner won't be a fight!  This is a busy week for us so there might not be too much cooking this week.

Monday - Chick-Fil-A

Tuesday - Baked Ziti

Wednesday - Wing It (Daddy has the girls while Mommy has an appointment)

Thursday - Grilled Chicken, Veggies & pasta

Friday - Homemade Pizza Bagels
