Menu plan and shopping trip round up

Brian is back at work! WooWho! This is a great thing for lots of different reasons but one benefit is it gives me a little leniency with breakfast planning. The boys are more than happy with cereal and fruit, and I could eat my Dawn McMuffins everyday and never get bored. Same with lunch, I could just be happy with left overs and the boys well PB&J are the best in their opinion. I suppose I will need to plan his lunches now but that shouldn't be to hard. Just need to wait to hear word if his new job will have access to a microwave (think leftovers) or if he is the sandwich king. So congratulations to my wonderful husband on your new job! Now for the good stuff :)
