Weekend Plans

Welcome to the weekend, my friends! I hope you have a wonderful weekend whatever your plans may be. We have had a busy week here so our weekend is going to be restful and laid back. Friday night the kids are planning a Risk and Monopoly marathon, so I am thinking of having a pizza night for them as well. Saturday is Mass followed by dinner and movies. Sunday we are planning a special Surf and Turf meal with our friends Heather and Dave to celebrate Dave's birthday, and Mocha's too! Steve is making Prime Rib, and Heather is making her amazing crab cakes. Peyton is making Blueberry Pie for dessert. Cannot wait!

Here are some pictures of the past week here in our summer country home...



We started last weekend off with some beautiful evening skies...


And then Flynn and I had fun taking pictures before Mass.

We are savoring our last weeks with these adorable kids before they fly across the ocean for one more semester.



Sunday's brunch was a success...


And then later, these guys left to see Ed Sheeran in concert.
They returned happy and full from an amazing concert, and a delicious meal at The Cheesecake Factory.


Meanwhile, my Flynn and I had some special time together along with our puppies. 
We played Connect Four, watched Drake and Josh, took a Jeep ride, got Subway, and did a lot of this.
It was a wonderful day.

Morning planning with some hot lemon water is the way I start my day.

And...it is official!
Peyton did not attend her cyber school graduation, and this week she received her diploma and tassel in the mail.

So proud of that girl.

Of course she celebrated by baking her amazing chocolate chip cookies...

Here's a closer look. : )

Have a wonderful weekend, my friends!
Thank you for visiting.
I am always glad you do!

  5. Yay Peyton! I hope game night is awesome and your surf and turf night goes splendidly. It sounds like my idea of a perfect weekend. I cannot wait until we can switch to Saturday night Mass. It's too hard for my kids in that in between nap and dinner. But soon I think. Enjoy!

  7. Billie Jo, what beautiful skies! And desserts (bwahaha). Such sweet pictures of your family. So sad that your eldest daughter will be leaving again soon. I enjoy her blog posts and Instagram pics etc. What a wonderful opportunity to live and learn abroad (and love!). Blessings, Gina
