Time for another Whats Up Wednesday post! Seriously, I feel like I just wrote one and it's already been a month...
What We're Eating This Week:
School started on Tuesday, and with having stuff every night this week, we've had to improvise a bit
Monday: Roast beef sandwiches
Monday: Cheeseburger Biscuit Bake
Tuesday: Rachel had a game and told us it started at 5, it didn't actually start until 5:45, so concession stand popcorn and pretzels it was! The girls ate leftover hotdish.
Wednesday: Girls ate leftovers again as Brad and I had to driver an hour away to pick up Rachel's car we bought her. Since sports started the beginning of August, I've made sure to have a big pasta casserole or pasta soup of some kind so they can eat before and after they're done. Makes me feel a little better if I didn't supper on the table. :)
Thursday- Beef Vegetable soup
Friday- most likely homemade pizza!
What I'm Reminiscing About:
I love Facebook Timehop pics. The last week they've been full of first day and daycare pics. I do miss those days, loved being able to stay home with my girls and doing the fun crafts/ snacks!
What I'm Loving:
The cooler weather!! It's been really cool, in the 60's and I'm LOVING this! I'm so ready for sweaters and scarfs.
What We've Been Up To:
This is literally me right now. Life is crazy busy with school, 3 different sports all at once, work and life in general. I'm just trying not to lose my shit. If I make it through November, it'll be a miracle!!
What I'm Dreading:
I don't know that I'm dreading anything, but I'm feeling very overwhelmed right now which makes all the little things seem huge. I know this is just a phase, but I want to feel like a normal human being again and not like this...
What I'm Working On:
See above. Trying to stay sane, haha!!!
What I'm Excited About:
FALL!!!! I am so excited to get my fall decor out and eat all the apple/pumpkin things.
What I'm Watching/Reading:
This book sucked me in by page 2! Hoping to finish it this weekend.
As far as tv goes, I got nuthin. By the time I sit down on the couch at 9, I fall asleep reading.
What I'm Listening To:
Right now I am listening to Indigo Girls on Pandora, SO good!
What I'm Wearing:
I did find some cute fall clothes at Old Navy, this is my fave, I bought it in cream, sooooo comfy!
What I'm Doing This Weekend:
We really have no concrete plans which is glorious. I think we'll try and get on the lake one of those days, the weather is supposed to be gorgeous! I took Monday off and I'm so freaking excited! I have nothing going on, I just need a mental health day.
What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month:
All the fall activities....pumpkin patch, apple orchards, football...
Bonus Question: Your Best Lunchbox Ideas and Tips:
Since we're only a couple days in, we haven't yet packed lunches. The girls are at a new school and they all commented on how good it is! Last year Emma and Alayna took a lunch most days. Here's what worked for us:
I have a "lunchbox" drawer where I keep these Ziploc lunch containers. I've had these for a couple years, but I don't think they sell them anymore, boo.
I also have water bottles, mini containers, and fun little lunch picks and accessories.
In the pantry I make sure to keep the snacks organized and stocked. I have a large plastic shoebox that I keep snack bags and applesauce packets in. I also make sure one drawer in the fridge has washed fruit/cut up veggies for easy grabbing.
That's what's up with us!
