What are you making or buying tonight? If the kids are eating something different, what are they having?

    One extreme or the other will happen. I am surprising DW by going home early but have to go out again to speak on campus.  So either the WW friendly turkey hash we had planned our the WW unfriendly pizza we are both craving.  DS will have the usual....bottles and bottles :)

    I have leftover carrot/cranberry/apple salad from last night, and I'll probably make some frozen Thai soup from Trader Joe's to go with it. Just doing easy stuff this week since Jen is traveling (and trying to get in my fruits & veggies). If I get hungry later I might make some popcorn in the wok.

    There's a new thai curry recipe in the crock right now.  I'm excited to try it. 

    Pumpkin helped me put it together, so he's pretty eager to see how his hard work paid off.

    I have no idea. Because of meetings I didn't eat lunch until 2pm, so I won't be hungry until late. We both need to stop to do errands on the way home. The kids will have something easy since they are getting home late and have homework to do - pasta with edamame or turkey meatballs, perhaps? I have no idea what we'll eat. Cereal? Lean Cusine?

    The kids will have visit w/ their mom tonight which means its just DW and I.  We were going to go out (hibachi, yum) but thanks to a broken van (the state's), DW will be transporting the kids for visit so we will just grab something. Subway maybe?

     You're adjusting? LOL. Yea, they have about 15m a night of homework in kindergarten. It isn't due until the end of the weekend so on nights like last night where they have tae kwon do until 5:30 and we don't get home till 6:30, we forgo homework since they are exhausted. It is to get them into the habit of homework - which honestly I find a useless concept.

    I'm not sure, the only meat we have in the house is a tiny bit of left over chorizo so maybe J will get creative and make something.  If J decides not to cook than I will make lentil and quinoa soup.  We do not make seperate meals for the kids.

    This is late, but K is making vodka sauce pasta right now.  Vodka doesn't really have a flavor, and it cooks out, so I don't know why we put it in there.  Shrug.

    Leftover baked ziti from last night.  We contemplated making a ground turkey and rice casserole....but it takes 2 hours to cook and it's after 7 so that's out.

    It was supposed to be chicken and stuffin muffins but it turned into Boston Market.  I do all the cooking and got in a fight with technology tonight (we are switching cable providers to save some $$$) So dinner was already cooked for me.
    We had three BFN in the Fall of 2011. It is back on to some baby making come June. Swim little fellas, SWIM!!!!

    Holy heck 2brides, you guys are lucky! We have homework at least a couple times/week AND reading practice (where they send home the early reader books) that we're supposed to do 15 min EVERY night. Who has time for this stuff and dinner and bath and bed by 8pm??? Oh yeah, and the teacher also sent home a math workbook that we're supposed to start working on and return in Dec/Jan. Phew.
