End of September Already!

Wow! I cannot believe how quickly this month flew by. Our temps are finally dropping and I was cold most of today.

Before I forget, here is this weeks dinner menu.

Monday-turkey burgers

Tuesday- tatertot casserole

Wednesday- homemade potato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches

Thursday- homemade chicken pot pie

Friday- sloppy joes

Saturday- meatloaf

Sunday- ravioli

We've really been doing well on the not eating out! Though I've been tempted a few times and then I think of the cost of that one meal out compared to how many meals I can make at home for the same cost! The kids haven't even been asking to eat out either, which is a surprise!

This weekend was busy. Saturday, Abby participated in her first Junior Bible Quiz meet in Nyssa, Oregon. She did pretty good for her first time, she needs to just be quicker on the buzzer, but her team took first place in their division. We all went with her and got to help out, Jacob even ran the buzzer box once. That pretty much took up the whole day! Picture of Abby with her ribbon is above. Sunday we got up for Sunday School and Church. We came home made lunch and then just worked around the house, this week I started working on cleaning out our bedroom closet and the bedroom, Paul and Jacob worked out in the yard, and Abby helped everyone.

Yesterday, Abby had gymnastics again. She did very well, they worked on the balance beam and the swinging rings. Her arms and calves are sore today! Last night Paul's dad and stepmom came into the airport from their trip to Georgia. We had their car here while they were gone the past couple of weeks. So Paul and Jacob picked them up last night and brought them here. They stayed the night and drove home early this morning. They had a great time and sounds like a highlight of their trip was visiting the Kennedy Space Center in Florida over a couple of days. The kids loved the souvenirs they brought back, Jacob got an autograph from a real live astronaut ,so he's been asking to go look for some astronaut books all day(library trip will be tomorrow!) . Abby got a really cute tote bag that says "I Need My Space" on it. They were both surprised and not expecting anything. I can't wait to see their pictures!

Today, the weather has turned. It's cold and windy and looks like rain might be coming. We've just stayed home, worked on school lessons, played some math games, just about finished laundry, and some picking up that needed done. Just a cozy day at home. Actually put on a sweater late this morning. It was warmer when we got up at 7 then it is now!

Well dinner is in the oven and just about done, need to go steam some veggies and Paul should be home soon.

I almost forgot! Happy Birthday to my sister, Jessica, today and to my brother, Jason, yesterday! I'm still older than both of them! LOL

Be blessed!
