Meal Plan

​Welcome to another week of riveting meals in our little world! Simple is the name of my game. 

Sunday - baked potato bar with a Caesar salad

Monday - sausage, mushroom, orange pepper, onion and cheese quiche with fruit (I made this on Sunday because I was out of town Monday night and this was easy for Kevin to pop in the oven) 

Tuesday - rotisserie chicken, green beans and air fried baby potatoes 

Wednesday - shrimp red curry

Thursday - red beans and rice - going to make the rice with bone broth instead of water

Friday - pizza night 

Busy Weekend

Friday was a busy day but fun day! First up - Head Spa Sanctuary with the 2nd grade moms! ​It was a great time. You def leave with clean but wet hair!

Quick turnaround to celebrate Hilary's birthday with her people at Postino!

Then we went out for drinks at Foxcroft and then dinner at Porters House! This filet with bone marrow truffle butter was INSANE! 

And creamed spinach bc duh!

The 8 of us had a great time and had the best server. Girls pic  

Saturday morning at the baseball field for Grady's first practice as a member of the Oakland A's!

Molly Anne had her last basketball game! They ended the season 4-1-1. 

The scorekeeper every game...

Boy stuff - chopping firewood for our fire. One of his favorite things to do.

Then we were the decoys for my friend Jen's surprise birthday party! 

While Grady went to the high school basketball game with our neighbors 

Sunday was so nice out - 77 and sunny we were outside all day and had about 7 or 8 little boys in and out all day. 

It was a good day. Molly Anne wasn't feeling the best all weekend so that was a bummer. Fingers crossed she's on the mend soon. 

A Few Things

This week I learned ​a little about sink plumbing because Grady lost another tooth on Monday night then was so excited dropped it down the drain. FaceTimed my Dad to learn about plumbing and I got it out! Now I know! Grady's mouth...!

These are the days...randomly deciding to go to the high school girls and boys playoff basketball games on a Thursday night! They LOVED it. We've been before, I think once last year but each year they love it more. 

I'm not sure if I have mentioned but one day a week I've been getting two kids from every second grade class at their school and teaching some extra challenging math! I love my 9 boys and 1 girl and we've had a great time learning. Math is so important and I like encouraging it to be fun. One of the teachers told me this week that the grade level is doing a service project during my time so we will have to skip.. and she said her two kiddos were super bummed to miss our Math Magician time! It made me so happy to hear they love it as much as I do. 

Had to get those gray hairs gone so don't look unkept! Blonde teasy lights thanks to Ragan!

Hope everyone has a nice weekend! We have an eventful weekend and I'll fill you in on Monday!

Thursday

​I can't believe it's already Thursday. It snuck up on me. 

ONE - such a beautiful lightweight jacket, a classic, $200

TWO - gotta be careful with smocked on top but this dress looks good. I also like the thicker straps. Pretty Easter dress. 

THREE - wrap skort

FOUR - this tee and white jean shorts for the weekend  

FIVE - farm rio romper, not many left

Appointments

​I'm sitting here in a waiting room to get my eyes checked. Yesterday I was at the dermatologist and out of there before 8am. It seems like all of my appointments are within the same two weeks. It got me thinking about allllll of the appointments we have as a 40 something year old. 

Internist - it still shocks me that so many of my friends don't have one. Make an appointment and get established!

Eye doc

Dermatologist

Dentist twice a year

Gyn - I try to do this 6 months from my internist appt or mammogram so I get checked throughout the year

Mammogram 

Even hair appointments but those are fun! 

Chill Weekend

Friday afternoon in February 77 degrees and sunny! And he lost his fused tooth going down the slide and his knee hit his chin! It was a big tooth to lose! ​

Molly Anne and I did a little shopping on Saturday morning. 

She had two great basketball games this weekend.  

We met Hilary's new puppy Deb!

We headed to the Southend area on Saturday evening to meet up with David and Jenn! It's always SO good to see them. We ended up having drinks at Folia then popped into a pizza place for din then we went to Tyber Creek! Pretending we were young again! Good times with good peeps!

Sunday we went out for breakfast then to Costco. Molly Anne had a friend come over and I took the three kiddos to Starbucks, bath and body and Sephora. Grady wanted to come only for the Starbucks ha!

He had a swim lesson Sunday afternoon which was good. Gotta get that endurance up and perfect the strokes! 

For dinner I made this pasta dish - barilla protein angel hair, just bare chicken nuggets, Alfredo sauce which I added garlic, onion, mushrooms and spinach to. It was good! 

Chat soon!

Randoms

​I was in Maryland for a night a couple of weeks ago. Wanted to check in on my parents! Trying to do that every 6-8 weeks as best I can with the kid's activities and work. First stop - cream of crab soup with Dad!!

I know we all do so much laundry but I gotta say, I'm about to have Molly Anne do her own. The child has the tallest pile by far every time I fold the clothes. Kevin has noticed too (he actually helps me fold often) and he said she will stop if she does her own. Hmmmm! If the people that live with me continue to leave their things inside out, they get returned to them inside out. I'm over doing all of that! 

100th day of school! Grady was so funny and Molly Anne told him funny things to say in an old man voice. Not one person dressed up in 5th grade evidently. Molly Anne wanted to but decided not. Prob a good thing but I like that she's still herself! 

We try to go on walks pretty often. This time we were at the playground. The kids wanted to take pics in the same place as they had before. Check out this comparison of them! Time flies!
