Woohoo it’s Wednesday and our family’s first Thanksgiving meal tonight! We’ve been out of school all week for the Thanksgiving holiday and I AM LOVING IT.
Today I’m linking up with Shay for this month’s What’s Up Wednesday!
What we’re eating this week…
I made chili Monday night and doubled the recipe so we could also eat it Tuesday night. I use the chili recipe from this cookbook but I don’t add mushrooms. Tonight we have Dustin’s family Thanksgiving and then tomorrow lunch at my mom’s. That’s as much as I’ve thought about food haha!
What I’m reminiscing about…
This was last November and now…
…this sweet girl is 8 months old today!!!
What I’m loving…
I started a book club back in June because I was really missing adult conversation about common books. I used to be in a book club for YEARS but everyone in it is now retired so they meet during the work day and I couldn’t make the other meetings once I started having kids. I wasn’t expecting many people to be interested in a book club but so many were! The last book we read (I’ll post about in December in a recap) was one I would have never have read on my own, so I’m thankful for my book club making me read it!
What we’ve been up to…
Just surviving haha! Life is hard with two very little babies, but I know it’s a season. I don’t get out and do much with everyone by myself because it is such a hassle. We went to the grocery store one day after school to pick up a few things and while I was putting everyone and everything back in the car, a woman next to me told me I was super woman LOL
Harrison went hunting during Alabama youth hunt weekend.
We went on a date night–Harrison’s pick!
Lots of our days look like this!
The pantry door was left open and Banks wanted a snack–that was before I had even had a sip of coffee that morning!
What I’m dreading…
I don’t want this Christmas season so go by too quickly and I feel like it always does.
What I’m excited about…
CHRISTMAS THINGS WITH MY BABIES!!!
We went and did the Galaxy of Lights and I can’t wait for all of the other fun things we’ve got planned this season!
What I’m watching/reading…
I’m currently waiting on Dustin to finish Outer Banks. We watch this together and haven’t had a chance to finish the most recent season. I’m also watching all of the Great American Family Christmas movies I can!
I read this cute Christmas book not too long ago and LOVED IT!!! It’s a short, easy read that was quick to get hooked on. I loved the banter between the two main characters (who used to be together) and the premise of the book felt like a Hallmark movie. There is some spice, so I wouldn’t let my jr high girls read this one.
What I’m doing this weekend…
ROLL TIDE!!! If you’re not from Alabama, you might not realize how big of a deal the Iron Bowl is. Hopefully Alabama plays way better than they did against Oklahoma…
What I’m looking forward to next month…
All of the Christmas traditions and outings–and just time together with my family 🙂
Haha oh my goodness that cracker photo is too cute!
Haha it is quintessential Banks!! He’s Mr Independent!
Love seeing the comparison photo of last Thanksgiving to this one! It’s amazing how fast they grow up.
It really is amazing!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh, that early morning picture! You are doing a great job with those sweet babies! Keep soaking it all in each day.
Thank you, Marilyn!!!! You are so kind!
Love that you have a book club! I was in one before Covid hit, and then everything broke up, and we never got back into it. One of my friends just opened a book store and she’s going to start a book club so I’m excited to finally have one to participate in again!
