I'm finding it slightly hard to believe that we are nearing the end of October. I always look forward to the schedule slowing down as we hit November (my kids now know it as "No-November" HA!) This past week was a very busy week; we try to keep those limited now days so that my teens/high schoolers can stay current on all of their work and projects. As we tuck into the cooler months with snow on the way eventually, we like to stick closer to home for sure!
This week we start with family and friend and then throw in a special birthday! Last year Joshua decided to plan the menu for 7 days surrounding his birthday. He really enjoyed that and is doing it again. This year though, it is a little more spread out as our evenings seem to be fuller this time around.
Friday - Dinner at my mom's house with my brother and sister-in-law, Kel and Deb. This is the last time we will see them before they head back to Brazil.
Saturday - The plans are to go to a friends house for a bonfire and dinner.
Sunday - Pork Roast in the crock pot, mashed potatoes, and corn
Monday - Ham and Cheese Quiche and "Kens Fruit Salad". (this is meal #1 on Josh's list)
Tuesday - Today is Joshua's 16th birthday! His birthday dinner of choice is Burgers on the grill. He said everything else was up to me because he just eats the burgers HA! I might do fried zucchini as a side. Then we will have Josh's favorite - Carrot Cake - for dessert
Wednesday - My guys enjoy food at youth group (just snacks but that fills them up!). Darryl and I enjoy dinner at home. I keep it simple so Grilled Cheese and Soup tonight.
Thursday - Josh's 2nd meal choice is homemade mac and cheese. Again, I get to add the "extras" So, ham and green beans will round this meal out for us.
