The "Unworking" Mom

Our Weekly Snapshot

Here’s a look back at our week:

We picked Nate up from Staff Training on Saturday morning. He had a great time!

Then we attended an Open house for ones of the teens from our church.

On Sunday we visited my in-Laws. Charlie was teaching Nate how to cut a watermelon.

Darryl was teaching his mom how to grill great chicken.

Grandpa and Grandma have a golf cart which Josh and Nate love to drive. I even got to go on a ride.

Josh snd Nate are at Worship Camp this week. Josh is attending as a camper but is also volunteering as a drum instructor. Nate is enjoying the week as a camper.

We’ve had lots of rain, storms, and hail this week. I was sitting in my vehicle on Tuesday and caught this rainbow as the hail fell all around.

Look who showed up at the Hospital gift shop WITH a coffee from Sozos! Ken and Kel arrived at my moms on Wednesday evening. My mom knew Ken was coming but Kel was a surprise!

Fun all week at Worship Camp.

Fun with 2 of my brothers!

The concert at Worship Camp

I tried to add a video of one of their songs but it’s not working at the moment. 🤷‍♀️

As I mentioned last week, my brother Ken will be here around this time (not sure of the exact dates yet). So, I will plan my menu with knowing that some days we will be at my mom's enjoying time with Ken.

Here's the plan

Friday (6/19) - The boys have a Worship concert tonight so they eat at camp. Darryl and I will grab something.

Saturday (6/20) - this is up in the air as everyone is going different directions; I’m not sure when or where we will all land by dinner!

Sunday (6/21) - It's Father's Day! And my brother will be here! So maybe we can do steaks on the grill or something on the grill.

Monday (6/22) - I know we will eat at home as I have choir practice. Zuppa Soup and bread is the plan

Tuesday (6/23) - Josh and Nate have Bible Study so I’m not sure on dinner - maybe the adults will eat together🤷‍♀️

Wednesday (6/24) - my freezer and cupboards are full so I’ll pick based in plans and who is home!

Thursday (6/25) - Dinner at my mom’s with Ken before he heads out on Friday.

Our weekly snapshot

Here’s a look back at our week:

Nate went to a bonfire on Saturday evening with friends.

On Sunday everyone attended my choir concert.

And Nate headed to a week of staff training.

A few grainy screenshots that show Nate ha! At least I know he’s alive! 🤣

Josh had friends over Friday to hang out and they cooked their own burgers for dinner.

Then head to group shot of Staff — can you find Nate? And why does he look like he’s 25? 😭🤪

Weekly Menu

This next week Josh and Nate will be gone during the day at Worship Camp. They really enjoy this week of creating music with friends; it is a little hard to fathom that this is Josh's last year as a camper. It is the first of the "last" things for him as he is now a Senior!

Here's the plan:

Friday (6/12) - Amish Chicken, mashed potatoes and roasted veggies

Saturday (6/13) - We have to pick Nate up from a week of camp, attend an Open House for Lunch plus some running in the afternoon for Josh as he has a staff meeting for camp. Dinner - I’m leaning towards tacos because it’s easy!

Sunday (6/14) - We are heading to my in-laws for the day.

Monday (6/15) - Chick-Fa-Lay Nuggets (homemade) and Fries

Tuesday (6/16) - I “think” it’s just Darryl and I as the boys have Bible Study after worship camp. So we might grab something easy.

Wednesday (6/17) - Slow Cooker Zuppa and Bread

Thursday - 6/18) - Pork loin and fried rice

A side note - my brother, Ken, is coming up for a visit some time around now - I just don't have exact dates so this menu may change!
