Weekend Plans

We have a few things planned this July weekend. Friday night, Steve and I are going our to dinner with some friends of ours. It's funny...for some reason, we never think of doing that. I mentioned to Madison that I hadn't talked to my friend Bonnie in awhile, and Madison asked why I didn't call her and ask them to meet us for dinner. It took my seventeen year old daughter to remind me that I ummm, yes...we could go out to dinner sometimes. So we are. And it will be fun. And another perk of having kids far apart in age...free ( and dependable) babysitters. : )

Saturday, Steve is taking the older kids to a baseball game. They are leaving mid-afternoon and wont be home until late. That means Flynn and I have the entire afternoon and evening to ourselves. I'm thinking I will take her to Mass and then out to dinner. : )

Sunday Steve and the older kids will have to attend early Mass, as Madison works the early shift. The rest of us have a quiet day here at home. Steve has some outside things to work on, and then he is making a meatloaf for dinner. I hope to have some garden lettuce and red potatoes to serve along with it. And maybe a trip to Dairy Queen to round out our weekend.

So that is what we are up to this mid-summer weekend. I hope yours is happy and sunny and pleasant, whatever your plans may be. Thanks for visiting!

Summer has been beautiful this year...

allowing for many moments like this. Little ladies in sundresses, sandals, and sunhats. Riding on old Tonka bikes. : )

Lots of yummy food around here lately too...like these crockpot French Dip sandwiches...

and creamed lettuce over fried potatoes. I posted the recipe here last summer.

Fruit salad is always a favorite...

as is our favorite snack bread...chocolate chip pumpkin bread. Just gearing up for fall, folks. ; )

Someone always waits very patiently for the last bite of my ice cream cone...and he always gets it. Because...really...could you say no to that face?

And lastly...my little sweetie had fun showing Grandma all about Club Penguin. On the iPad, no less.

I love the love between these two. : )

Happy Weekend!
