Lunch Group

Here's a great idea for stay at home moms whose older children have an open campus lunch time. My high schoolers do, and can leave campus during lunch time to eat elsewhere. This year, Cari is part of a lunch group. I guess, in a way, I am too; I am the one that actually makes the lunch when the kids come to our house to eat. The way it works is simple. The kids in the "group" take turns going to each others homes for lunch. Our day to host the lunch is on Monday. I spend my Monday mornings making a lunch that I think the girls (and Trevon - he comes home on Mondays for a "good" lunch) will enjoy. We've made Mexican Pizzas, Stuffed Pasta Shells, and Haystacks, so far. Tomorrow I will either make homemade pizza or a breakfast quiche (I haven't decided yet). Sometimes while I make the lunch, I make a huge amount so that my dinner is also made. It has been a very enjoyable part of the week for me. I like being able to see my children in the middle of their school day. I like being able to serve them, with a yummy lunch. I also enjoy hearing their lunch time conversation and laughter. I think I'll probably be involved in many more years of lunch groups as well. Maybe I should start one for myself - I wouldn't mind spending lunch with some of MY friends during the week. It probably wouldn't be good for my waistline though! So, what do YOU want for lunch?


Cari's braces were removed this past week! She has a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l smile!!!
