We had a great weekend and last week was a great week, too.  Thankfully my husband was off, so we were able to get some family time in.  He’s been doing a lot of overtime lately.  We had a great time at the PBR event.  I’m amazed at the talent!

Don’t forget that this weekend is the local Touch a Truck.  That’s always a fun event to take the kids.  Most of mine are no longer impressed, but at least I have the 3 year old who is obsessed! LOL!

Here’s what we are making this week:

Monday: Meatloaf, veggies

Tuesday: Black beans and rice

Wednesday: Cube Steak, Broccoli

Thursday: Brats, beans, chips

Friday: BBQ, salad

Saturday: Egg and sausage casserole

Sunday: Leftovers

What are you having this week?

We had a pretty great weekend!  We went to the Georgia Museum of Art, which is completely FREE!  It was pretty neat and the kids enjoyed looking at the exhibits.

My 2nd born was away at a youth retreat and we hosted a baby shower for a sweet friend.  My husband is getting stronger and hopefully getting cleared by the county doctor later this week so he can return to work soon.  We would appreciate prayers that he will be ready to go back to work.  God has been so good to us during this time, providing for our needs and providing friends to walk through this time.

The week ahead is back to school and all that jazz.  Here’s what we plan to make this week:

Monday: Spaghetti

Tuesday: Grilled chicken, brown rice, broccoli

Wednesday: Black beans and rice

Thursday: Dinner Out

Friday: Cube steak, green beans

Saturday: Bacon, eggs, biscuits

Happy Monday everyone!  It’s already been another week.  My husband still isn’t strong enough for work quite yet.  We meet with the oncologist today to hopefully get a game plan of what’s going to happen next.  Our hope is for surgery to have been enough, however we’ve been told to prepare for possibly chemo or radiation.  I’m so ready to put all of this behind us.

Here is what we are making this week:

Monday: Brat Burgers, okra

Tuesday: Chicken and brown rice soup

Wednesday: Dinner with friends

Thursday: Macaroni with beef and onions

Friday: Kielbasa and Brussel Sprouts

Saturday: Omelettes

Sunday: Dinner with church

Happy Monday!  We are chugging right along and the weather looks gorgeous for the first half of the week.  My husband is still out on medical leave and slowly healing.  This week, he will be getting a physical and a couple scans and next week we finally see the oncologist to get a plan.  It’s been weird having him home, but knowing he can’t really help with much right now.  I think I’m going to have him help me homeschool the kids and work one on one with them during some of his time off.

I’m back to cooking again.  It was so wonderful for our church friends to have provided meals over the past couple weeks.  Here’s what is on our menu for this week:

Monday: Pork chops, brown rice, lima beans

Tuesday: Tacos

Wednesday: Chili

Thursday: Soup and sandwiches

Friday: Burgers, mac and cheese, broccoli

Saturday: Breakfast for dinner

Sunday: Dinner with friends

This might be the last Meal Plan Monday for a while because we have some friends going to bring us some meals over the next few weeks to love on us.  We found out last week that my husband has cancer.  He has surgery later this week and then will receive scans to decide if they will follow up with radiation or chemo.  My husband is very rarely sick, so this was quite a surprise to us.  The kids are all taking it in stride and we will be leaning on our friends during this time to help keep everything rolling around here.  It’s likely my husband will be out of work for a bit on medical leave while he heals from surgery and goes through the plan that his oncologist will set up.

With that being said, his cancer is very treatable and his prognosis is good.   We thank God for the good news despite the bad news.  I’m not sure how often I will be blogging through the holidays.  To be honest, I almost feel that Mommy Octopus is coming to an end.  I have less time to work on it and the kids are getting bigger.  We still love traveling and checking things out for you guys!  Who knows what this next year will bring.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.  Merry Christmas!

Monday: Cajun Cream Chicken, greens

Tuesday: Beef enchiladas

Wednesday: Pizza

Thursday: Food from friends

Friday: Food from friends

Saturday: Chili

Sunday: Soup and Grilled cheese

What a lovely weekend it was!  HOT but so nice to celebrate the first weekend of fall.  The kids and I went on some adventures while their dad was working.  We went to the Southeast Train Museum for Free Museum Day, then visited there cousin Levi in the hospital, and then went to Stone Mountain Park for the Play By Day, Glow By Night event.  It was a fantastic time!  I’m so glad my youngest is getting old enough to come along on adventures without flipping out from lack of nap.

Here’s what we plan to make this week:

Monday: Lasagna

Tuesday: Buffalo Chicken Dip, celery, salad

Wednesday: Brats, brussel sprouts, mac and cheese

Thursday: Chili

Friday: Taco Pie

Saturday: Southwest Chicken in the Crock Pot

Sunday: Dinner with church
