The next couple of weeks are going to be pretty full on around here. We have NAPLAN testing in Years 3, 5, 7 & 9 this week as well as our 30th anniversary and school fete at Our School. Next week I'm on camp and the day I come home my parents will also be coming to stay for the weekend. How is it that it always happens that way? When we're busiest seems to coincide with their visits. Uncanny! Somewhere in there Miss Mischief is going on a sleepover and my niece is turning one and being dedicated!!
So this week's menu is looking a little like this:
Monday: Quiche, vegies, potato wedges
Tuesday: Tuna & Rice (Mr Busy's birthday pick)
Wednesday: Moussaka, steamed vegies
Thursday: Singapore Noodles
Friday: Pork Chops with apple & celery, vegies, potato
Saturday: Bacon & Mushroom Pasta
Sunday: Roast chicken, vegies
I made Panna Cotta for the very first time this weekend, with a raspberry and red wine sauce. Mmmmm, now there's a dessert! I'll be making it far more often now that I've done it once. I've a couple of recipes to post this week so stay tuned.

Lovely menu, as always.
I'm interested to hear that testing is as big there as it is here. Even in our private school, there always seems to be some sort of testing going on. It's terrible in the public schools, and is one of the reasons we opted out.
Sounds like you have busy times ahead--don't forget to take care of yourself and take some time just to breathe. I was going to say smell the spring flowers, only you don't have spring flowers right now, do you? I always have to adjust my thinking when imagining your life!

I think apart from the assessment that is a part of parent/teacher interviews and report writing, this is the only governmentally required testing done here...apart from VCE, of course. It's ridiculous though, this NAPLAN stuff. They test a whole year's work at the end of term 2 instead of later in the year. Very silly. And then they rank schools according to results. Too bad if your school specialises in educating the whole child and not just the left hand side of their brain.
Yup...breathing. Waiting for my next three subjects to come to me!
