Typical Monday

This weekend was incredible.  Molly had such a blast cheering with her BFFs at the High School Basketball game on Friday night.  We all went out for an ice cream afterward and really enjoyed a great time with our amazing friends.  Saturday, we went to see Mary Poppins live at the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh with Molly's Grammy and our friend Marie.  It was such a tremendous show.  The music, the dancing, the costumes and the special effects were just astonishing.

In the midst of all of the fun, there was little time to prepare dinner on Friday so we grabbed a pizza.  Luckily for Molly, there are still some leftovers.  So, she will have the typical Monday cold pizza lunch.

Our main entrée is leftover cold pepperoni pizza from Little Caesars.  Molly is like any other kid, she would eat pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner just about every day.

Our veggie side is cucumbers that have been cut with our crinkle knife.  They still taste the same but they are a little extra special.

Our fruit side sliced strawberries.  We still have a few of these little gems left from Molly's Grammy.

Finally, our dessert/dairy side is Yoplait Slim 50 strawberry yogurt.  Molly requested this as her dessert.  We think that it really helps to get her through the day.

Full Friday

This Friday is going to be a little hectic, actually this whole weekend is.  We have plans for just about every day. Tomorrow after school, Molly has ballet.  Then we will be headed to the High School for a basketball game that Molly and her BFF's (along with several other girls) will be able to cheer at as part of his past summer's Rah Rah Camp.  After that, we (the BFF's and their families) are going to go out for an ice cream or some sort of other snack.  Molly can't wait.  She actually went to bed early tonight so that she will be energized for tomorrow.  Saturday, we are going to see Mary Poppins on stage!  I'm REALLY excited about this one because Mary Poppins has always been a personal favorite.  After that, we will come home and cheer on our favorite Pittsburgh Steelers as they play in a playoff game.  HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!

Our main entrée is a good old pb&j.  Molly requested this classic lunch staple.  We spread peanut butter and strawberry jam on whole wheat bread and then used a large flower cookie cutter and a small star cookie cutter to cut it.

Our vegetable side is a baby spinach salad.  We added a few shredded carrots for sweetness and crunch.  This is accompanied by Trader Joe's Balsamic Vinaigrette.

Our fruit side is a kiwi and some pomegranate seeds.  Both pretty and delicious.

Our dairy side is a string cheese stick.  This provides a little extra protein to round out our lunch.

Finally, our Fun Friday treat is two Aldi Milk Chocolate Covered Gingerbread Hearts.  Molly will be so excited to have this special yummy treat, and she truly deserves it. ☺
