On the Menu Monday (MPM) - Week 8

What a busy and filled weekend. Unfortunately last week, a neighbor boy that my sister and I grew up with lost his battle with brain cancer. Friday we had the visitation and Saturday the funeral. He was a teacher and a football and track coach, there was a huge turnout with lines out the door. It was a wonderful celebration of his life and it was a great testament of who he was with the huge turn out. 
We did get to celebrate Valentine's Day. We went to see Frozen which we had been wanting to see and dinner out with some sushi which I love. It was a new place too and we had excellent service. 
After spending time with family and friends on Saturday we were able to get some chores done around the house and we did get to go and see the new puppy again, too cute. She had a puppy play date, friends with their puppy were there as well. Too cute!
 



Seriously that face, this puppy! Too cute!

We started watching House of Cards on Netflix Sunday morning. Needless to say, episode 1 was SO good! I love that show! Then it was more chores at home as well as a trip to Lowe's for the paint for the living room. Cannot wait to see how the room turns out. Sunday evening we were able to catch up with good friends that we had not seen in a while which is always fun. I made a big pot of sauce and meatballs. I had a couple of bags of meatballs in the freezer from the holidays that I wanted to use up, but they weren't as good as when I make them myself. At least I made my own sauce!


We don't have a ton going on this week, but I am hoping we can start working on the living room. We got hit with a ton of snow this morning, so it will be a night in tonight.  We also cleaned out the freezers this weekend, so we have built our menu around things that we need to use up from the freezer. Should be pretty good though.
