Started off the morning running. Just as I was walking out the door to take Eva to school, Joey came down the stairs. When I returned home, Eddie was downstairs too and they were "STARVING!!", so I made french toast right away, using the recipe I always use. After breakfast, I made the chili in my big soup pot and let it simmer on the stove. I had Parent/Teacher conferences from 3:30-5:30, then had to leave the house at 6 in order to make it to church on time for me to teach and Eva to take CCD. Chili seemed the perfect meal.
At lunch, I decided to make sandwhiches since I had a lot of potato salad leftover. I picked up Eva from school, we came home, had our snack, then left for the triplets school. After the conferences, I got home at 5:30 and made the cornbread muffins right away. I used the Jiffy corn muffin mix I got from Angel Food in January, but I added 1/2 cup sour cream to the two boxes and they were YUMM-O!! Eva and I ended up eating dinner in the car, but it was good!
Dad served the chili to the triplets with a hot dog. Well, they ate the hot dog, lol!

Ok, for Eva's snack I packed: a half of a peanut butter sandwich, baby carrots, teddy graham, and a go-gurt.







Breakfast:  Mini French Toast Triangle "Butterflies"
Lunch:  Leftovers
Supper:  Pizza at our favorite restaurant, Ruffalo's

For breakfast, I wanted to make stuffed french toast. But then I got to thinking that in order for my kids to eat it, I'll have to cut it into bite size portions and what a pain that'll be - unless I do it ahead of time!!  So I took my bread, cut the crusts off, spread strawberry jam on one piece and put another piece on top. Then I cut it in half, corner to corner, then in half again, corner to corner. Then I dunked them into the french toast batter and cooked them on all five sides (think about it, lol).

      





In celebration of our anniversary, we went out to eat with the kid's for pizza to our favorite restaurant, Ruffolo's. Our kids are welcome and they don't mind the mess (or the noise!)
