This weekend was a great one. We celebrated our middle child turning 10! Crazy to think that over half our kids are over 10 now. It was a sweet time with friends over the weekend.

It’s prime day today and my internet isn’t working so I’m having to work from my phone. That complicated things. Be sure to view the rest of our posts for some prime day deals.

We have a fun week ahead as we start wrapping up the summer. Here’s what we are making this week:

Monday: grilled chicken, fresh veggies, macaroni and cheese

Tuesday: black bean burritos

Wednesday: brats, Lima beans

Thursday: burgers, green beans

Friday: dinner with friends

Saturday: breakfast for dinner

Sunday: leftovers or create your own

It’s going to be a great week ahead!  I love Fourth of July week!  We are going to Stone Mountain Park’s Fourth of July celebration tonight with some friends and family.  This week, my husband has another doctor’s appointment and we are hoping to know more of what the future holds.

Here’s what the menu holds for this week:

Monday: Sandwiches, chips, fresh veggies

Tuesday: Grilled Ranch Dill Pickle Chicken, sautéed veggies

Wednesday: Burgers

Thursday: Smoked pork loin

Friday: Steak, baked potatoes, green beans

Saturday: Eggs, biscuits, bacon

Sunday: Homemade Pizza

Wow – we had a great week at VBS last week at our new church.  We made some great new friends and we are finding our place nicely.  The week ahead brings another nephew’s birthday party, hopefully some swimming, and school time.  I’ve officially put an ending date to our homeschool year of July 3rd, so we are almost there!  I think this teacher will be celebrating even more than the students!

It’s been a hard year for school, between my nephew’s severe brain injury and my husband’s cancer surgery and then it returning. I hope to find some time soon to put together our schedule for next year’s homeschool.  I think I mentioned it before, but all of the kids are coming back home for school, where in years past we have put them in local homeschool co-ops and programs.  Season of change, again.

We went to a beautiful wedding in South Carolina this weekend, where our incredible long-time babysitter and friend got married and is moving.  The picture above is the kids at her wedding.  They are all growing up so fast!

Hope everyone has a great week!  Here’s what we are making this week:

Monday: Southwestern Chicken in the crock pot, brown rice

Tuesday: Good Grub

Wednesday: Totally Dope Chicken, veggies

Thursday: Black Bean Burritos

Friday: Birthday Party for Nephew

Saturday: Pool Party with Friends

Sunday: Pork Chops, veggies

 

 

The picture above is my sweet mom.  She took the kids to Build a Bear to take advantage of their buy one get one for $10 sale (ends Wednesday).  It’s been at least 4-5 years since we went to Build a Bear!

This must be the week of birthday parties – we have 2 to go to this week and both at dinnertime.  That makes meal planning super easy!  This week we are still also working on our homeschool year.  I hope to give it another 2-3 weeks and we will be done.  With my husband’s health issues and other things throughout this year, we definitely took too many breaks.

Monday: Meal from friends

Tuesday: Birthday party

Wednesday: Trim Mac Salad

Thursday: Birthday party

Friday: Grilled chicken, Veggies

Saturday: Burgers, broccoli

Sunday: Egg casserole

It’s Monday again!  It’s also a great day because my husband is able to return to work today!    We are so excited, but will miss him of course!  This past Tuesday, he rang the bell at the cancer treatment center after he finished his last radiation!  Woo hoo!

The kids and I have been enjoying the local pool, hanging out with friends, and enjoying summer to the fullest. Hope you all have a great week!

Don’t forget teens can get a free gym membership and the local kids movies are playing, too!

Monday: Cube Steak, brown rice, veggies

Tuesday: Black bean burritos

Wednesday: Pizza

Thursday: Kielbasa, brussels

Friday: Chicken, veggies

Saturday: Dinner Out

Sunday: Sandwiches

Is everyone else enjoying summer?  We are for the most part.  We are ready to celebrate my husband completing radiation. Tomorrow is his last day!  Hopefully he can return to work in a couple weeks.

It’s been a season of change for our family lately.  I am not sure what all that will consist of but it definitely is changing around here.  First up, due to several budgeting reasons, we have made the decision to drop all but our oldest from our homeschool co-op classes.  I’m a little nervous about it because the past 2 years my oldest 2 have done most of their studies there.  I think it will all work out, though.  Right now I’m working on planning our homeschool for the upcoming school year.  That will be a feat!  Next year I will have an 11th grader, 7th grader, 4th grader, a 3rd grader, and a preschooler!

Here’s what we are planning this week:

Monday: Burgers, corn, green beans

Tuesday: Cheesy Bacon Chicken, veggies

Wednesday: Dinner Out

Thursday: Grilled Chicken, veggies

Friday: Taco Bar

Saturday: Grilled Cheese, fruit

Sunday: Breakfast Casserole

I hope everyone had a nice Mother’s Day.  Ours was nice but quiet.  We went to Panera for breakfast and then went to church.  Hope for Sunday naps and some movie watching in the rain.

Well, my husband is now halfway through his radiation treatment.  He’s having some stomach discomfort and feels exhausted but overall doing ok.  Me, lots of emotions.  I hate seeing my husband not feeling well.  He’s aways been my super man and rarely sick.

Monday: Grilled Chicken Salad

Tuesday: BBQ

Wednesday: Butternut Squash Casserole

Thursday: Eggs, bacon, biscuits

Friday: Brats, beans

Saturday: Sandwiches
