Weekend Plans...Off To The Beach!

One of the blessings of our new cyber/homeschooling journey is the freedom that comes along with it...the freedom to work ahead so that we can resume our September family vacations. Years ago, when Madison was young, we took our family vacation in September. Then she started school, followed by Peyton and Rhett, and multiple kids missing a whole week of work was just too much for this mama to handle. So this month we worked ahead and are all set to go!

Friday will be a do laundry, pack, organize, and clean day.  I am blessed that my sister Margie and her husband are coming to stay here to watch our doggie and get the mail, so I don't have to worry about that.  Thank Heaven for sisters!

Saturday will find us on the road heading to the sandy beaches of Maryland. I am taking my iPad along to keep in touch with you all and will be posting a few times as well. I would just miss you all too much to go cold turkey for a week! : )

Anyway, that is what our weekend looks like. I hope yours is happy and cozy and fall-ish, whatever your plans may be. Thanks for visiting!

All set for Mass last Saturday...

And after Mass...it was Birthday time!

I love this candle from my sister Margie...

and my mom surprised me with this picture of my sweet Daddy from his high school days. : )

Peyton made a delicious apple pie...

and it was as good as it looks!

It was a wonderful day. Thanks for all the wishes and prayers, dear friends!

Oh...one more gift! My hubby got me this glider for in the school room! It is sooo comfortable. : )

And the perfect spot for a little tea break.

My sweetie...

How we do tacos at our house...chicken tacos that is.

My little baby with her first ever ice cream in a cone!

She always gets a "twist in a dish", and decided she is old enough to get it in a cone. : )

And a last shot of my Flynn's hair. And I will be forever grateful to my sweet mother-in-law for gifting my children with this naturally curly hair. : ) This is natural, and two days after washing too!
