Light Lunch

After my filling (and ugly) breakfast, Brady and I went to the outlets to update his work clothes and see what we were missing.  We were very successful!  On the way home, it was around 2pm, we both got hungry for lunch.  We debated whether or not we should stop for something but came home because we have tons of leftovers from the weekend!

We were having company for a cookout at 4 and it was already 2pm, so we

Lunch then snack, snack, snack

I packed a leftover turkey burger, grilled onion, lettuce, tomato and fruit for lunch.  As you can see I enjoyed it in my classroom on my welcome poster.   I was full from the turkey burger so I skipped the fruit.

I was glad I did because at my meeting they had tons of food!  Cookies, brownies, fudge and luckily fresh fruit.  I had a small plate of fruit: strawberries, blueberries and 1 choc. covered strawberry!  Then when I
