I LOVE MY DINNER GROUP!! And other stuff...

About 3 months ago myself , and 3 friends started a dinner group. One of us makes dinner one night a week-Monday thru Thursday. My day is Monday. I make dinner and deliver it to the 3 other families, and I am done for the week. In return, I get a nice, hot, wonderful meal with a side dish, and sometimes a dessert-brought in the rest of the week. At first we all were a little sceptical. We figured we would just give it a shot. WE ALL LOVE IT!! It is also WAY cheaper for groceries. I only have to buy dinner for one night of groceries, and Sunday when I shop. (Friday is date night, Saturday is leftovers or something easy) We also have a ton of left overs for lunches the next day or the weekend. We love it, and everything has been really good. I get 4 meals emailed to me by the 25th of the month and I make up a calender/menu so that we aren't having a week with 4 nights of enchiladas or something crazy like that. I organize the menu so that it flows well and email it back to everyone. It is great and it has really simplified my life. So get a few friends together and try it out!!



P.S.....

Josh and I just got back on Sunday night from Vegas. We went to the NFR (National Finals Rodeo). We also went to the cowboy Christmas and 2 other HUGE shopping shows. It was soo fun. The NFR was so cool in real life. We danced til 2AM, slept in, shopped, ate, and went to the NFR at night. SO fun it will definitely be a new tradition (sorry Tracy, and my in-laws) But thanks so much for bbsitting and loving my kids!! I took my camera, but it I only took about 4 pictures. (Amazing the lack of interest in photo taking when I don't have any of my 4 cute kids around!) And in all 4 Josh isn't looking AT ALL!!
You can't see very well but this is the arena during the opening act on Saturday night. REBA was there and sang the National Anthem. It was great!


When I got home, I found these Clay pot soldiers!! My mother in law watched all 4 kids, didn't sleep at all both nights, but still managed to make these from scratch-with the help of all the kids!! I was so exited. She has a set and I just love them. THANKS SO MUCH NANA!!
