This week I officially fell off the wagon. After some deliberation I'd finally decided to leave David in his crib for the time being and put the baby in a bassinet or playpen until he was ready to give it up. Then last week he managed to climb out (falling over the side in the process) and plans changed. We told him we didn't want him "going bonk" anymore so it was time to move into a big boy bed. The weekend was a flurry of buying and moving furniture, painting, and reorganizing 2 bedrooms but at least our baby finally has a nursery and so far David's pretty happy with his big boy bed.
To sweeten the deal I managed to find a bright colored comforter plastered with all kinds of construction trucks (at least it's not Disney characters). I could have gotten a much more lovely and tasteful set for upward of $100 or chosen a more subdued generic theme sans gaudy vehicles but I know David wouldn't have been nearly as excited. In the end the $13 comforter and $8 sheets at Ross's were too tempting to pass up. And I do love the fact that this time we were able to decorate his room with a theme and colors that reflect his personality and tastes.
Anyway with all that commotion meal planning has been relegated to the back burner but hopefully we can get back into the swing of things. Something tells me though that the next several weeks are going to stay fairly chaotic though.
The African peanut soup was delicious though I did cut the amount of cayenne pepper in half. We served it over brown rice and I will certainly make it again. In the future though I'll only use legs and thighs and skip the wings. It's just too cumbersome to get the meat off those babies. Here's what we've got for this week.

glad to hear he's taken to the big boy bed so easily! Yay for no more going bonk. :)
Our meal list is sitting on the fridge at home. Most of the new meals we've tried weren't spectacular, but there's always next week, right?
