Mommy Octopus

I am so glad to be on break.  It’s been very much needed around here to have some downtime!  We’ve been spending time up in the mountains again and loving all the fresh air!  The kids were able to ride horses, swim, and be themselves.  Loving every minute of our summer so far!  Here’s what we are making this week:

Monday: Leftovers

Tuesday: Grilled Chicken, Spaghetti, broccoli

Wednesday: Grilled pork chops, okra, rice

Thursday: Ribs, Salad, green beans

Friday: BBQ, beans, salad

Saturday: Egg Casserole, zucchini

Sunday: Leftovers

It’s been a great weekend.  Went to the mountains with friends while my husband and son went to Patriot’s Point for a Trail Life Troop outing!  During the trip, they spent the night on the U.S.S. Yorktown in the bunks where sailors used to stay!  They had a blast and the rest of us had fun hanging out pool side in between rain storms.

We ended up finishing school last week and calling it quits on our homeschool.  We are all very much looking forward to a break, although our summer looks to be quite full already!

Here’s what we are making this week:

Monday: Poppyseed Chicken Casserole

Tuesday: Lazy Lasagna

Wednesday: Breakfast for dinner

Thursday: Beef Enchiladas

Friday: Potluck with friends

Saturday: Burgers, corn, limas

Sunday: Dinner at church

This past week, we wrapped up our children’s homeschool co-op with a field day.  They had a fantastic year and have built some great relationships.  We still are finishing out our homeschool year and hope to be done at the end of May.  This teacher is definitely taking a break at the end of May.  We used to do more of year round school, but in our current season, a large break is needed.  I’ll try to blog about that another day.

Here’s what we plan to make this week:

Monday: Mexican Shredded Beef Tacos

Tuesday: Leftovers

Wednesday: Steak, sweet potatoes

Thursday: Spicy Sausage Pasta

Friday: Pizza

Saturday: Dinner out

Sunday: Chicken alfredo

Is it just me or are weeks going by faster and faster and faster!  Especially on the days my husband is off, it just flies by!  We had a great weekend.  My husband and I managed to get a night away from the kids thanks to my mom and had a wonderful time riding horses together and talking.  Then we celebrated my baby nephew’s 1st birthday!  Sunday was another great day of church, relaxing, and then taking the kids to the Botanical Gardens for a hike.  Great time was had by all!

Now we need to get back to reality and get our homeschool finished up.  My goal is to be finished by the end of May.  We took some nice breaks during the year, so hopefully this goal is attainable.

Monday: Poppyseed Chicken

Tuesday: BBQ

Wednesday: Burgers, veggies

Thursday: Black Bean Burritos

Friday: Breakfast for dinner

Saturday: Tacos

Sunday: Potluck with friends

What are you having this week?

 

 

Good Monday morning everyone.  We had a great weekend and took Grandma to the mountains and played in the streams.  It was a lovely weekend!

I find myself heading to the chiropractor today because OUCH!  Getting older is painful.  For the moment, I’m enjoying a peaceful and quiet home so I figured I’d type up my meal plan.  Our brand new dishwasher is poring water out the front so I’m trying to make things that don’t require tons of dishes.  Fortunately it’s under warranty but it’s going to take a few days to get the new parts 🙁  Not to mention our septic tank backed up this week.  It’s been a blast around here.

Here’s what I plan to make this week:

Monday: Dinner at my brother’s

Tuesday: Grilled Chicken Salad

Wednesday: Meatloaf, broccoli, salad

Thursday: BBQ Pork

Friday: Spaghetti and meatballs

Saturday: Trim Mac Salad

Sunday: Chicken fajita casserole
