Weekly Worship - We The Kingdom - Holy Water

This is a favorite of the mine and the boys - we especially like to listen (and sing it loudly!) on our way to Friday School! 

2020 Weekly Photos #8

I felt like we had a super busy week yet I didn't take many photos!

Saturday - A quiet day at home followed by dinner at my mom's.  We actually really enjoy the Saturday dinners at her house when it works out to do so! 

Sunday - Today was the Darryl's family "February Birthday Party".  This is a long standing tradition that started when Darryl's great grandma was still alive.  It was a fun family day.

 All the February Birthday People (well, and one January birthday too!)  From L-R: Darryl, his sister, Kelly, Kelly's daughter, Rachel (Holding her son who is not a February birthday!), Darryl's "bonus" sister, Michelle, and Kelly's son, Levi (the January birthday.) 

Darryl and his sister, Kelly. 

Monday - A full school day and, normally, we go to TKD but a winter weather advisory was issued so we stayed home and it was a wise choice!  The roads turned to skating rinks quickly. 

Tuesday - A totally 100% surprise snow day.  The local schools were closed due to icy roads.  We still had a haircut and piano lessons in the afternoon, though, so thankfully the roads were clear by that point. 

Wednesday - School and AWANA

Thursday - The day started with a Leadership Team meeting followed by the great Homeschool Program at the library.  This week we made these awesome shrinky-dinks. 

Friday - Friday School!  No photos this week though!  

Another great week :-) 

Weekly Menu - A Birthday!

This weekend is Darryl's birthday!  His birthday always sneaks up on me a little after all of the craziness of the holidays and Valentine's day.  It's like, "poof" it's time to celebrate HA!  It will be low key celebration with family and then in a few weeks, he and I will enjoy a day out to celebrate him :-)

So, here's our plan for the coming week.

Friday - Darryl has an MRI tonight and it's a long day of Friday School so, honestly, it's a simple food night.  Chicken Nuggets, Pizza, or Mac and Cheese - whatever I feel like "cooking".

Saturday - It's Darryl's Day!  One of Darryl's favorites is Beef Tips and Noodles so that's on the menu!  Plus some salad and garlic bread. 

Sunday - We have a pot-luck at church for lunch.  Then for dinner we will have French Toast Sticks and Sausage.

Monday - It's TKD night :-)  Time to pull out some left over Chili from the freezer.  I'll also add some biscuits.

Tuesday - Spaghetti with my homemade sauce from the freezer and garlic bread.

Wednesday - AWANA Night - Pizza!

Thursday - Pork Loin, Mashed Potatoes, Corn, and Crescents.

Weekly Worship - Goodness of God

I find the best songs posted by friends on Facebook!  This is where this one comes from this week.  I have heard this song before but, like with many things, we tend to forget about them until it shows up again.  So, enjoy!

2020 Weekly Photos #7

Here's a look back at our week.

Saturday - Guess what we finally got?  SNOW!  And the boys were so excited to finally get to go sledding at Nana's!

 My dog's favorite place - we dry the gloves on the heat vent so now, he can lay on top of the heat vent without burning his paws on the metal grate - he just lays on the gloves! 

The boys had a blast sledding on the big hill across from my mom's house. 

Sunday - We went to church and came home to a snow storm!  The boys played outside in a break in the snow. 

Monday - Schools were cancelled due to the snow so guess what we did?  Took our friends sledding at Nana's house, of course! 

Tuesday - Nate had an appointment with the ENT as a follow up from his sleep study.  He is now scheduled for allergy testing and surgery to get his tonsils and adenoids out.  Then guess what they did?  They hung out at Nana's and went sledding before piano lessons! 

Wednesday - We. Did. School.  Yes - we pushed hard and got lots of schooling done. 

Thursday - It was another school day.  They also had to get their Valentine's made for our party on Friday! 

Friday - Friday School!  It was our Valentine's Party!  And then my mom came over for Valentine's Dinner!

Nate loves Yoga.

Family Dinner. 

It was a fun, busy week with lots of fun in the snow and LOVE! 

Weekly Menu - Happy Valentine's Day Style!

I feel like this year is already flying.  It usually seems to take much longer for Valentine's Day to arrive and yet here it is.  Crazy.  I feel like I already need to start thinking about Christmas planning because it will be here before we know it HA!  Not really, but time sure is moving quickly.  We actually got snow this past weekend which was nice.  I was beginning to think we were going to move right into spring!!  I don't need what we had last winter with the bitter, bitter cold but I do enjoy some snow! I've done some searching on Pinterest (dangerous, I know HA!) I decided to look up good (looking) recipes for the different "categories" like pork, chicken, beef, etc. and try some new things.  I feel like we are in a rut!

So, here's the plan for the coming week.

Friday - It's Valentine's Day so we will have our traditional Spaghetti and Meatballs, Garlic Bread, and Salad along with Chocolate Covered Strawberries for dessert.

Saturday - Last week we had dinner at my mom's, maybe she will invite us again? LOL  For Real.  My kids say she is a better cook then I am which is just weird since she doesn't cook that often.  They don't eat her food either so I'm not quite sure what's up with that.  She has invited us over again and I'm so happy :-)

Sunday - We have a family February birthday party with Darryl's family.  I'm taking 7 layer salad, Chicken Salad Croissants and chips.  There will also be Gumbo (which I don't like HA) and stuff for regular sandwiches, which are also not my favorite so I'm making sure to take stuff I like!

Monday - Mac and Cheese and Corn Dogs - it's TKD night (Maybe this is why my kids think I can't cook  . . .)

Tuesday - I have a "Moms Night Out" dinner with our co-op so the boys are on their own.  Not really, I'll leave Taco Stuff for them :-)

Wednesday - AWANA Night!  Pizza!

Thursday - Baked Paramsan Crusted Pork Chops, Mac and Cheese, Homemade Applesauce, and Green beans

Weekly Worship - PRAY ON by Babbie Mason

This is an oldie!  I first heard this song in 2001 :-) Someone sang it at the church we were attending.  I actually bought the soundtrack but never sang it.  It's such a great song.
