What's Up Wednesday

How is it even the last week in August??  This summer FLEW by.  And as sad as I am to see summer go, I am HYPED for fall!!!  I am so ready for routines, fall clothes, pumpkin smells and cozy suppers.

So here's a little of what we've been up to!

wuwquestions-edit
WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK:

Wednesday: Chicken Taquitos
Thursday:  Garlic Chicken Pasta- No link for this one, it comes frozen in a bag!  It is free of anything artificial and gluten free, so it's not too bad for ya!
Friday is usually pizza night

WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT:

What is was like pre puppy!  The girls just reminded me that I have not posted anything about our sweet puppy Josie.  She is a red fox lab and was born on April 27th.  It's been.....a trip....lol.


She's a sweet pup, but she's a pup.  And exhausting.  And demanding.  Maci the cat isn't overly thrilled, but I do think they will be BFF's.  Someday.  


WHAT I'M LOVING:

Everything apples!  We have a hugecrab apple tree in our front yard.  The apples are teeny, but I still like to use them for canning.  We also went to the farm to grab apples as theirs are much bigger.  I ended up canning 9 jars of apple pie filling.  It's SO good, and quite easy once you spend all day peeling the teeny apples, HA!

I also got a big basket of tomatoes from my sister in law and canned 5 quarts of diced tomatoes.  Although we didn't get a garden in again this year, I'm happy I got some canning in!

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO:

Brad and I were able to go see Journey/Def Leppard in concert and they were amazing!



The first week in August we rented a cabin with 2 other families and had an amazing week!


The weather was 80 and sunny ALL week!  It was glorious.  The cabin had just been remodeled and was gorgeous.






It was exactly what we needed, AND I finished 3 books!  I plan on doing a recap of what I read this summer.  

WHAT I'M DREADING:

Next week starts Rachel's senior year, I just can't even.  We got a few sneak peeks of her senior pics and they are AMAZING!

I cannot wait to see the rest of them!

WHAT I'M WORKING ON:

Gearing up for school.  All three girls are in sports this fall, so our schedule is CRAZY!  Thankfully I have meal planned for the next three months, but it's going to be nuts.  I've also been an organizing fiend.  I think I've gotten every drawer and closet all cleaned out and organized!

WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT:

Need I say more?

WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING:

I'm currently reading "An American Princess, the Many Lives of Allene Tew" and "A Stranger in the House".  I'm excited to do a recap of all my summer reads, there were some really good ones!

WHAT I'M LISTENING TO:

We've been on a "Greatest Showman" soundtrack kick again.

WHAT I'M WEARING:

Nothing new, just getting excited to get the boots out!

WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND:

It's still kind of up in the air.  We have no concrete plans, except getting some stuff done around the house.  I really need to get our storage room cleaned out and organized...

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:

Watching our girls play their sports!  Rachel and Alayna are in volleyball and Emma is a swimmer, we LOVE watching them perform!  It will be an absolutely crazy few months but we love it.

Have to include some pics we took down by our "broken" tree, haha!
