             I'm just going to be honest, we went out to dinner last night so that means I didn't fix dinner. I wasn't going to say anything, in fact I was going to skip completely over Sunday and go right into today. But then the guilt was to much. We had leftover pizza for lunch, and cereal for breakfast and On The Boarder for dinner. There, are you happy.

             Today was a special day because our Lizzie turned 10. Her birthday is the start of the birthday season in our family, and it is the start of the four weeks out of the year that Parker and Lizzie are the same age. Yep, they are both 10. They are 11 months apart. I cried when I brought Lizzie home from the hospital and I sat on the coach and fed each of them at the same time one in each arm from a bottle. But we got past that. Anyway. So like I said it is the start of lots of birthdays. Benjamin's is this Saturday, Rays is in a couple of weeks and Parker's is at the end of the month. Plus there is one of Ray's brothers, his nephew and a cousin all in August birthdays! Crazy.

          So today was about Lizzie and what she wanted for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had pancakes for breakfast. She didn't really pick that, but I know she likes them and we were out of cereal and I just couldn't make a girl eat oatmeal on her birthday. Lunch was boring so I'm just skipping it. Do you really care that we have sandwiches everyday? I think by now most people can guess what we have certain days of the week. Like Friday, whats for dinner? Or Sunday morning, what's for breakfast? So you can probably assume that we are having some kind of sandwich for lunch unless I make them eat leftovers but we all know I didn't cook last night we went out. Shut up about it already.

         On everyones birthday I make for dinner whatever they want. Seriously, whatever. And whatever kind of cake they want I will attempt to bake it. Lizzie picked sliders and homemade french fries for dinner. And then a vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. Benjamin told me the frosting was not good. Whatever. He ate the cake.

      Now I need to start my meal planning for next month. Maybe next month instead of using $300 for the month I should try making it on $250. Right.
