Weekends--love them...they bring a little break from the schedule, they allow us to get things done--like chores :)--around the house. Weekends offer more time for a fun, leisurely breakfast and a thought out evening meal and a lovely Sunday crockpot lunch. Sometimes the weekdays just don't allow for those things. So weekend, welcome!
This weekend will bring an Upwards Basketball game, chores (they love those, right?), a FREE Saturday evening, and church on Sunday. I love my Sunday School class--my 7/8 grade girl class--this might surprise you that I, the mother of boys only, teach 7/8 grade girls. It's been so much fun and my co-teacher who is all of 25 is a hoot to work with. Sunday evenings also bring the 24/7 program from Awana for middle and high school age students to go deeper in their walk with God. Good stuff all around!
On the menu this weekend will be our own version of breakfast sandwiches with eggs, whatever else you want on it, and english muffins. It's great that the boys are now able to do this one by themselves! For lunch, it will be the big grab--leftovers. Since it is so cold out I think that tomorrow night will be a baked macaroni and cheese.
These last few months have been definitely a time of change for our food budget and the amount of food. Here's something I didn't think about until we got here so to speak. You know how "tacos" included one package of tortillas, one package of cheese, and one pound of burger? Not anymore at our house. Our recipe for baked mac and cheese is struggling to morph into the appropriate size to feed the parents and the little one plus the two teenagers--YIKES! I've tried to add half the recipe and something is still off so it doesn't quite taste the same (not that it matters to the teenagers) and if I double it, I don't have a pan large enough.
I read a post not long ago about a Mother of teenage boys who said that before EACH meal she had them each eat a slice of bread and drink a glass of water...hmmm?
Welcome weekend--visit again often! This weekend, let God order your steps--in the morning when you wake up and wish perhaps for more sleep, on Sunday in church, and Sunday evening as we prepare for next week.
Lord, please order my steps!
God Bless You,
Lisa
