Weekend Wrap Up – Fitting It All In

October 22, 2012 · by · 10 Comments

As I think back on our weekend, I am feeling exhausted.  No wonder I am so tired tonight!

The kids were home from school on Friday.   All three of us slept in and had a relaxing morning.  Neither had picked out their Halloween costumes so we went on the hunt for the perfect costumes.  After three stores and back to one of the first stores we stopped at, we found them!  Brad is wearing a red morph suit with clown hair and a tie while Emily is going to be the Mad Hater.  (Pictures to be up after Halloween.)   Dinner and Goodwill wrapped up our perfect Friday.

It was pouring down rain on Saturday when we woke up.   We were hoping it would be short lived since Brad had a football game at 11:30.  Lucky for us, it was blue sky and clouds for the game…everyone one was happy about this!  Once we made it back home, the kids and I changed into Halloween costumes and headed to a friends house for a Halloween party.  They have a large, unfinished apartment above their garage and they turned it into a fun afternoon with food and games.  The rest of the evening was spent curled up on the couch, reading and watching some TV.

Scott and I both had a few things we needed to get done on Sunday.  Those home chores that always need to be done.  Every Fall, Scott makes a traditional Croatian dish called Njoki (No-key)…very much like the Italian Gnocchi.  He made enough for 3 freezer meals along with our meal tonight.   It was so good.

I did my two week meal plan and then went shopping to get all the ingredients.   Emily and I also went and watched her best friend perform in her cheer competition.   They did great and came in third place.   The rest of the day was filled with all the “stuff” that needs to be done on a Sunday.

The kids have half days this week for conferences, so I am only working two days with shorter hours.  It is also the last week of football.  Hoping this slows our schedule a bit, although I am starting a new 90 day exercise program so I will be out a couple nights a week working out.  It is always something around here!

Enjoy your week.  Several more giveaways going live this week so be sure to stop by!

      I know…it’s awesome! The freezer is starting to fill up with some of the meal prep I have been doing! :)

      P.S. Loved your story about JDaniels trying to find his “perfect” pumpkin! :)

    I love Goodwill and Once Upon a Child ! :) Goodwill didn’t have a good selection Halloween Costumes this year but Once Upon a Child and TONS! I highly recommend Once Upon A Child to anyone and everyone that has a child and wants to get nice clothes but at a fraction of the cost.

      I will have to look into Once Upon A Child…I don’t know if we have one of those around here. I can’t believe how expensive costumes can be!

      It is so good Liz! Have you ever had Gnocci at a restaurant. I had it a few weeks ago at an Italian one and it was really dry compared to Scott’s. Yum!
