Weekly Song

 I heard this sing on the radio a few weeks ago and it stuck with me

— so I’ll share it with you!! 

Our weekly snapshot

 My week loaded backwards so we will start with Friday! 

The guys put in an amazing concert. 

We had a great day at our Co-Op. 

On Thursday the guys began their set up! 

Such a pretty view! 

On Wednesday we took some fall photos. 

Tuesday was carving pumpkins. 

Also on Tuesday Bate had a pulmonologist appointment and we got Biggby! 

 

On Sunday we celebrated Josh’s birthday with Darryl’s mom! 

A busy, fun week.

 It's hard to believe that it is the "Holiday Season".  It feels like this year has just flown by and, as I say every year, I really want to try and enjoy the season; to be intentional with all the things - family time, planning, finances, etc.  Trying to make sure that the things we do and commit to are important.  (Thus - NO-November!)  My guys are busy - which is great - I want them to enjoy these teen years as much as I enjoyed mine (or maybe even more!) even though it means extra planning and running at times!  

This week brings a great concert, Halloween, a Pot-Luck at church and a visit from by brother and sister-in-law, Kel and Deb.  It should be a great week! 

Friday - My guys and their band have a concert tonight.  I'm not 100% sure of the dinner plan.  I think Darryl is coming from work so it probably needs to be something I can carry to him!  So I might just make some chicken tacos. 

Saturday - It's Halloween.  I know at least one of my guys has concrete plans and I'm guessing they both will by Saturday.  I'm planning to make some Chicken and Dumplings for who ever is home.  

Sunday - It's Pot-Luck time at church!  I'm just taking a taco salad this time. 

Monday - I'm still working on Josh's birthday meals HA!  He's got three left!  Tonight is Spaghetti Carbanara and French Bread.

Tuesday - Dinner at my mom's with my brother and sister-in-law

Wednesday - Youth Group

Thursday - Chicken Alfredo and Garlic Bread (Josh's choice!)

Our weekly snapshot

 Here’s a look back at our week, which my brother Kel looks forward to every week: 🤣

Nate, Darryl and I headed to my father-in-laws where we helped him do some projects he needed done.  Josh was spending the day with friends.

Nate and I attended a band night to see his friend Silas march! 

Josh on I while he was still 17! 

We went out to lunch for Josh’s birthday. 

Josh’s birthday!

 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! 

Our weekly snapshot

Here’s a look back at our week: 

On Saturday Morning we took Nate to a weekend retreat. The camp was located on Lake Michigan so we took a moment to stop and enjoy the lake before Darryl and I headed off for lunch at our favorite taco place.

Josh and Avery enjoyed dinner before heading to homecoming

A few more photos from Nate’s weekend retreat

Josh and I went on his first College visit.

The boys enjoyed youth group on Wednesday night

 Josh And Nate attended a football game on Friday night with friends. when I arrived to drop them off there was this amazing rainbow in the sky

This should’ve been the first picture in this post, but somehow it ended up at the bottom. This is when we dropped Nate and Morley off for their weekend retreat.
