Meal plans and the week ahead

We have a pretty low key week ahead of us again. Today we'll be making a stop by the grand opening of our local farmers' market. Later on, we're heading to the Whiting for my niece's violin recital and we'll all be going out to eat afterwards, most likely at Big Boy since that is my niece's favorite. Tuesday is Zumba. Thursday I'll be in Detroit for work. Saturday we're having my cousins, grandma, and parents over to celebrate my grandma's 75th birthday. She requested tacos, so I'll be doing all the main stuff (meat, beans, shells, toppings), my cousins are bringing the sides, and my mom is bringing dessert. The weather looks like it'll be fairly nice this week, so we're planning to do a lot of yard work. We need to mow, do some weeding in the flower beds, remove some dead branches from trees in the front yard, clean up another brush pile, and move some perennials around. I also need to dig some plants for the annual MDOT Plant Exchange, which is being held on Wednesday at lunch time. I know a few things that I'm planning to bring in, but I need to figure out what else I'll bring in. I love the plant exchange! People bring in perennials that they have in their gardens at home and we trade. You get to take home as many as your brought in (plus some once the orphans are up for adoption). Its great!
