Lazy Weekend

This weekend we stayed home and it was wonderful. This entire summer we have been all over the map. And this fall we are going to be doing the same thing. So, for all most August we have decided to stay in The Mound. It was a much needed restful weekend. We took off of work on Friday and just watched movies, went shopping, and grilled fajitas on the grill. Just the two of us. I really think that I would be much more productive at work week to week if I could just have a three day weekend all the time. I should suggest that...

Saturday we got up early and did some community service with our church. We were at an elementary school in the area and just did some projects to help clean up the school. In the afternoon, we helped out with a block party where we provided free food and gave out some free school supplies for the kids. There was a bounce house and Chris and I got the privilege of being in charge of that for about an hour and half. I was pretty convinced that someone was going to break a bone with all the craziness. It wore us out! It was fun though--it was a great day for that kind of thing. I got to see some friends from high school that afternoon and then we went to church that night.

Sunday was supposed to be a productive clean-the-house day. What did we do instead? A puzzle. Yes, a puzzle. We had borrowed one a few months ago from some friends, so we thought we could start working on it. Well, we could not do anything else. We not only started it, we finished that thing. Yes, we know we are super nerdy. We don't care. We finished up just in time to head to home group. We love each and every person in our home group and we really feel so lucky to be a part of it.

So, that was our weekend. Nothing exciting. This upcoming weekend will probably be even less eventful--I can't wait!

I will leave you with our "Menu-Planning Monday" Dinner Schedule. I will try to post each week. Our menu is kind of lame this week. Sorry, but last week was intense so I'm taking it easy.

Monday: Chicken Salad Sandwiches, chips, dip

Tuesday: breakfast - scrambled eggs, biscuits, turkey sausage

Wednesday: Palio's with the Mitchells

Thursday: Homemade pepperoni pizza

Friday: Mexican lasagna

Saturday: Much needed trip to the store....

Happy Monday!
