This week the kids are going back to school and I have mixed emotions. It’s been fun as well as challenging having them home while we’ve been working. I worry that they’ll get sick or they’ll bring something home however I know they will be so much happier seeing their teachers and friends. Literally everyday they ask when they are going back to school. I’m sure once we drop them off, they won’t like it! I know it’s for the best and we’ll deal with whatever comes next. Right?
I kept this weeks menu pretty simple and a little fun withe some loaded sweet potato fries…yum!!
