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. :-)

I think the “ber” months might be my favorite. The days become crisp, the changing colors and leaves falling, apple cider, and no more sweating!!! Plus it’s nice to cook lovely foods in the oven that make home smell …. Homey. ð❤️

It's the end of September WHAT! That means we enter the "Holiday" Months! Birthdays, Halloween, a Retreat, Thanksgiving and . .. . Christmas! Whew! Slow down time! :-) I'm sure I say that every year about this time. I will say that September kinda blew right by me though. I'm trying to enjoy each moment and not look too far ahead (even though, technically, that's what I did in my first couple of sentences!) Enough of that - lets check out this weeks menu.
Friday - The teens are heading to a game night at their friend's youth group. Darryl and I will grab something simple.
