Things have been busy around here!
Easter
First Communion
Baseball
Picking up oldest from college
End of the school year activities
This is the last week of school. Of course, the 8 year old is home sick the last Monday of the school year. How very Monday-ish.
So we or may not have baseball this week depending on how he's feeling. He was supposed to play tonight, but that is not going to happen. Poor kid has had the worst time of it lately. At the end of April he got hit in the face with a bat (trip to ER, broken tooth, no stitches), last Wednesday he fell off the swings at school and had a slight concussion, and now today he's sick. He needs a break!
Since this is the last week of school, you would think that I would have some things planned for this summer. You would be wrong on that front. The older I get, the more of a slacker I become in this area. We do have vacation planned. But that's about it. We belong to a swim club so I'm guessing that is where we will be spending most of our time since I'm already paying for it. I'd also like to get to the zoo. And on rainy days I want to take him to the history museum, the art museum, and possibly the science museum. And he's requested bowling. The older two will be working so they can join us on days off.
I should probably put a "summer meal plan" together, but I'm not there yet. I did get a membership at Costco, so I plan to stock up on snacks and meat. My downstairs fridge is already loaded with chicken sausage and smoked sausages for nights we set up the fire pit.
Last week of school meal plan:
Friday: Fish Tacos
Saturday: Chicken kabobs and mushroom and potato kabobs on the grill
Sunday: Roasted chicken (I roasted two for left overs for lunch), watermelon, and mixed veg
Monday: Tater Tot casserole
Tuesday: Pressure Cooker Salsa Chicken with Cream Cheese
Wednesday: Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup
Thursday: Last Day of School Pizza Celebration
So this is it for the 2020-2021 school year. It has been better than 2019-2020 that's for sure! But I'm hoping that 2021-2022 is even more back to normal. The 21-22 school year will bring us a college sophomore, a 3rd grader, and a high school senior. When I started my first blog, the senior child was 2 years old. How is this even possible? I remember my mother telling me that the older you get, the faster time goes by. At the time, I didn't understand (I was a teen). But now I get it. I really do.
But bring on Summer 2021! We are ready for you. And I, for one, am looking forward to lazy days and family time.
