For those of us herbivores, I usually substute the meat with a soy type product or fill in with more veggies. One my favorite soy products is Morning Star Grilled Veggie Burgers. Yummy!!

Here is my list of to do's for the week:

* Homeschool the kiddos in way that is interesting to them and me.

* Get a list together for items needed for "Light Night", held at our church on Oct. 31st.

* Get a sign up sheet ready for "Light Night", for the much needed helpers.

* Go and paint a sign for "Light Night".

* Clean the house so that this weekend we can have family time and not have to worry about it.

* Go to the bookstore and buy a much needed copy of Around the World in 80 days.
