Easy summer leftover lunch!

Last night my mom and I made a delicious side dish and I'm having the leftovers for lunch!
In a skillet we put olive oil and various veggies from the garden- yellow squash, tomato, peppers, and corn. We added a bit of butter and seasoning. Then I made couscous as directed on the package. After the couscous was ready we mixed it all together! Yum yum yum! I'm definitely making this to take this weekend to work. I'm also gonna keep switching it up depending on what's ready in the garden or at the farmers market!!

Yay!

This week...

I have high hopes for accomplishing things this week- I just hope my body cooperates! (I'm having horrible sciatic pain!!).

Last week I cut the boys (including Jason's) hair!! I was so pleased with how it turned out!!

This week I want to do some organization work. Since the boys are sharing a room now to make room for #3 I'd like to get their clothes organized! I also want to organize the diaper stash in the nursery and our hall closet organized. We're setting aside money for an entry way project too. I'm just doing prelim work on that!

We have 10-12 weeks likely before 3 arrives! Yikes! Everyone asks...I think its a boy. We'll be delighted and blessed either way!! But my gut says boy!

We did get corn put in the freezer last week at the inlaws. I'm hoping my tomatoes are ready soon because I'd love to get some salsa canned! And I need to do a freezer plan for food post 3!!!

Lots to do! Its getting exciting!!!

From the garden...

Well, not from mine- but my inlaws!! These beautiful zucchini's are going to be sliced, diced, and shredded! We'll have some tonight on the grill for dinner and I'll freeze the rest!! Then I can use it in breads, muffins and veggie soup!!

This week's goals

Since I'm on the right road with posting my menu plan I thought I'd post some of my goals for the week!

I want to do an overhaul on both blogs...freshen things up! Since I often post from my phone I want to post some blog buttons of blogs that I reference on the sides. I want to post updates for each boy on their blog and post a tot school post.

I've been putting together a sort of freezer plan for fall (I want the freezer stocked for when baby gets here!!)! I'd like to spend some time on that!

My master bath needs cleaned and organized! Also- my master bedroom has an area in dire need of my attention. Its quite the drop zone and I'm hoping to fix that! I want to organize the boys learning activities there.

Big week!! Jake has a pedi appt (well baby check) and I'm thinking of taking Max to story time! We'll see!!!

That's what's on my mind anyway!!
