Week 44

Howdy folks.  Another week come and gone.  How was your Easter?  I like to believe that someone out there is reading this and I honestly hope it was full of sunshine, happiness and the remembrance that our Saviour lives again.  I love holidays in general but Easter is my favourite.  The renewal, the hope, the faith, the world coming alive again after a long sleep.  It is glorious!
In other news, we decided to paint our entire main floor last weekend.  Paint + 4 kids = disaster so thankfully my inlaws took them overnight to their house.  We got it all done and even got to go out to dinner and a movie while the paint dried.  Hunger Games = awesomeness!
Now I need to redecorate my house since I never had before and I don't like anything we currently have.  Vain, I know, but I am dying for a beautiful space that feels like ME.  Does that make sense?  I am blog stalking and stockpiling items to redo and makeover to make them feel homey and perfect.  I also have some curtains that I am making - wish me luck, I am NOT a seamstress!

For dinner this week:

Sunday:
Easter dinner at the Doneys - Ham, funeral potatoes (we all know my feelings on those), asparagus, greek salad, buns, bunny cake and donuts, plus a jello salad/dessert thing with grapes (I did not partake).

Monday:
Dinner at a friends since we were in Airdrie (about an hour north of us) playing and enjoying our common day off :)

Tuesday:
Orange BBQ pork tenderloin, parmesan polenta, honey glazed carrots and corn

Wednesday:
I made buns today so sloppy joes, home fries, green beans and a salad

Thursday:
Maple Dijon chicken thighs, loaded mashed potatoes and buttered peas, mandarin orange and spinach salad

Friday:
Chinese chicken, fried rice, dumplings, broccoli (we never made this the other week)

Saturday:
Not too sure, maybe tacos or black bean burritos or if Dallin needs to get out we will go on a date night :)

What are you cooking this week?  What is on your want-to-make list?  Anything that the warmer temps make you dream of?  I can't wait for shish kabobs on the BBQ ....
