This last week went well with meals~ the kids liked having the black beans with rice and the quesadillas, which was the one meal I thought they would not touch~ I have had a great week with the kids, we have walked, played outside (yes it is spring!) and even went to the Children's Museum. This week we have even more fun activities planned. Brooklynn is actually going to get her hair done and go on a "date" with her daddy! They will be going to a He and Me dance too! I will be sure to post pictures of her AMAZING dress and date night! Be sure to remember to sign up for my giveaway by leaving a comment!
