Here’s a look back at our week, which my brother Kel looks forward to every week: 🤣
My brother, Kel, asked me recently if things have ever "slowed" down because I often say, "things should slow down soon.". Well guess what? They have not! I think things just get busier! Some days I think my head is spinning. For real. I really wouldn't trade it though as I know this season is fleeting so I am enjoying it - even on the crazy days. That also means that my menu plan sometimes shifts faster than the sands on the dunes along the Lake Michigan shoreline! You will notice some repeats from last week as the schedule changed a lot!
Friday - There is a game night for Josh and Nate - I know Nate is going for sure. Who ever is home will have pulled pork and mashed potatoes. (All microwave items that keeps it simple!)
Saturday - My mom's for dinner!
Sunday - We are grabbing McDonald's after church before heading to my mother-in-laws for birthday dessert with her for Josh's birthday. She really wanted a chance to see him for his birthday since he turned 18!
Monday - Zuppa Tuscana and Bread. This was on the plan for last Monday and it did not happen!
Tuesday - Chick-Fil-A Nuggets, Cheesy Potatoes, and veggies
Wednesday - Youth Group
Thursday - I think my guys are having band practice before their concert on Friday. So I'm really not sure and probably won't know until Thursday morning.
It was an easy week to plan since it all carried over from last week HA!
The countdown to the big 18 is on! Whew! Josh gave me a list of some of his favorites and requested fruit with most of the meals and veggies with them as well. Yep, he likes to be healthy even though he doesn't really like veggies HA!
Friday - tacos
Saturday - Josh made plans with friends; Meanwhile Darryl, Nate and I are heading to my father-in-laws to help him put things away before winter. (It seems like just yesterday we put all of his summer stuff out!) We will eat with him.
Sunday - Josh's first request - Ham slices, homemade mac and cheese, and roasted veggies
Monday Josh's second request - Zuppa Tuscana Soup, Fruit and Bread
Tuesday - Josh's third request - Cheesy Potatoes, Fruit, and veggies (and I'll add Chick-Fil-Lay nuggets too)
Wednesday - Youth Group
Thursday - Josh's Birthday!!!! His birthday dinner request is . . .. .Chicken and Rice Stir Fry, Fruit, and I'm adding some crescent rolls too.
He's got a few more dinner requests that will carry over to next week!
Here’s a look back at our week:
Well, hello. October has been amazing. Beautiful sunny days and cool, crisp nights! I think October is my current favorite month. haha Even the dog loves it - he often can be found laying in the sun on the deck and when asked if he wants to come in, he raises his head, looks at you, and I actually think he rolls his eyes before laying his head back down. For Real. This is the month of THEE birthday - Josh turns 18. I don't think any of us are quite ready for that! Later this month he is picking dinners but for now, it is still on me!
Friday: At the typing of this I'm still debating. Sometimes there are extra kids here; plus my guys are heading to a football game. I'm leaning towards a couple frozen pizzas and bosco sticks but we shall see.
Saturday - Nate is heading to a fall retreat with friends, Josh is heading to Homecoming with Averie and Darryl and I are chauffeuring. We will get dinner somewhere :-)
Sunday - We are picking Nate up from his retreat around noon so I'm really not sure what we are eating yet.
Monday - Homemade pizza. Simple.
Tuesday - I have a mom's night with our co-op I might attend (I don't always go). I'm thinking an easy meal in case I'm not home - Cheese Tortellini with alfredo and Garlic Bread
Wednesday - Youth Group!
Thursday - Boneless Turkey Breast, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing and Gravy.
I feel like this weeks planning is a little bit of "we shall see where we are and what we are doing" kind of planning. :-)
