Summer fun - Week 7

 

And just like that July is done.  July is the only "complete" month of summer meaning it is the only month where our extra people aren't in school part of the month.  Actually they only have a couple more weeks before the return to school.  We don't return until mid-September so we still have a bit!!  

This past week was super hot.  We struck around home a bit more and I had them finish up their pinwheels and work on some other art projects I had picked up at the beginning of the summer.  

Monday - We went to Pizza Hut for lunch to use their reading certificates they earned from the library. Then we went swimming at my friends pool.  The weather was finally hot enough and there was no rain!  

Tuesday - It was another perfect pool day so we headed back to our friends house for the afternoon. 

Wednesday - Today was the final day for the elementary Library program which was Ice Cream! 

Thursday - Today was the final day for the "teen" Library program.

Friday - TKD 

Weekly Worship - God of Revival - Bethel Music, Brian Johnson, Jenn Johnson

I have not been truly moved or inspired by any songs over the past few weeks but someone shared this one so I thought I would share it as well. 

2021 Week in Photos #25

 It's been pretty quiet here lately.  My brother Ken was here through last Saturday but this week we just kind of hung out.  Here are a few snap shots of our super exciting week. 

This is how exciting our week was ---- I took photos of my dog for like an hour one night just playing with my camera HA!  He's just so cute!!!  

And . .. we had our first corn on the cob of the season.  On our way home from the library I stopped at the farmers market and picked up corn for dinner.  It was yummy!!! 

On Monday there will be a few more photos of what the kids got to do for fun this past week :-) 

Weekly Menu

 Wow, we are entering August!  I enjoy summer more than I used to - I think because we work so hard on school all year it makes the summer months morme enjoyable and relaxing.  Here's the plan for the coming week. 

Friday - Our weekly take out night. 

Saturday - Dinner with my in-laws 

Sunday - Dinner with my mom

Monday - Amish Chicken, Noodles and Squash casserole

Tuesday - BBQ Cups and Fries            

Wednesday - Today is our Anniversary so we will eat out.  Not sure where yet . .. last year we went and got Tacos from our favorite take out place and enjoyed them in the park :-)  

Thursday - Dinner at my mom's with my oldest brother, Kel and sister-in-law, Deb.  

Summer Fun Week 6

 

Now that camp is over, it is time to get back into our routine.  A little more planning and a little more effort go a long way.  I "blame" it on Darryl - he's been off work for a few weeks and that really messes with our schedule.  The boys love to stay up late with him which means they all sleep late and that just messes me up LOL  It's ok though - it's summer and it's fun and that's all that matters.  I'm a little short on photos for this past week but . .. here is what we did! 

Monday - We are FINALLY going to "Kids bowl Free".  The kids all enjoy bowling so I really wanted to get this activity in at least once in the summer.  We went to a bowling alley we hadn't been to before and it was the best!  Not to mention the snacks we got were great too!  

Tuesday - Josh and Nate hung out with their friends from Mississippi who head back home this weekend.  I treated my extra two to lunch at Subway before running a few errands. 

Wednesday - Today we were just home!  They had to suffer through "no electronics time" in both the morning AND afternoon! 

Thursday - It's Library Day for the three "teens".  Today is a nerf war so that was quite the excitement. 

Friday - Nate got hit with a head cold so we sat TKD out this week and just all enjoyed a fairly quiet, semi-rainy day at home.  

See - back at it this week! 

Weekly Menu - The one where my brother leaves

 The title really means nothing - my brothers just like when I mention them in my blog :-) LOL  This next week is pretty quiet, actually.  My brother really is leaving this weekend so it will be back to normal around here for a week.  I decided to get a couple Hello Fresh Meals this week for no other reason then I forgot to edit my order and skip this weeks shipment (oops!)(well, technically I thought I had skipped it but I was off by one week!!)  but at least I had changed it previously to only get two meals instead of four.  I don't really mind since we know the meals are great.  

Here's the plan for the coming week. 

Friday - We are doing take out but we are going to be eating dinner with my mom and brother - Fabulous BBQ from our local food truck!  Yum! 

Saturday - One last meal while my brother is here with my mom - so our "normal" Saturday dinner at mom's but we get to enjoy it with my brother, Ken, too.  

Sunday - Hello Fresh Meal #1 - It's a burger meal and, after the last Hello Fresh Burger, we WILL be grilling the burger.  I've been craving a burger so this is perfect. 

Monday - Hello Fresh Meal #2 - Crispy Buffalo Spiced Checken with Mashed Potatoes and Carrots.  So, truthfully, I will be leaving the Buffalo Spice off of this recipe.  Since I thought I had skipped this week, I didn't rearrange the meals - this is not a meal I would have chosen because we aren't fans of Buffalo Spice but after reading the recipe I know I can leave that off and just make it as Crispy Chicken. 

Tuesday - Mississippi Pot Roast, Beefy Noodles and Salad. 

Wednesday - Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops, Mac and Cheese, Green Beans and Biscuits

Thursday - Quick and Easy Chicken Enchiladas, salad, and chips and salsa
