Hey loves. Happy What's Up Wednesday. How is it already the last Wednesday of the month. In one sense February seemed to go by so far, in another sense it has also dragged. Do you feel like this month went quickly or slowly?
It's that time for What's Up Wednesday with Shay, and Sheaffer. On the last Wednesday of every month we are all invited to share a little bit everything that has been going on for the past month.
On the last week of February here's what's up...
~ WHAT I AM EATING THIS WEEK ~
I shared Meal Planning Monday, which I technically wrote up last week when I was planning out meals for the week ahead and figure out if I needed to grab anything from the grocery store. In true mom life fashion the menu has already changed.
Sunday we had Chinese with the neighbors
Monday- Swedish meatballs with roasted potatoes
Tuesday- Leftovers (we have food left over from Brian's mom's surprise birthday party)
Wednesday- Salmon bowls
Thursday- Walking tacos
Friday- Homemade pizza
Saturday- Date night
Sunday- pork tenderloin
~ WHAT I AM REMINISCING ABOUT ~
I have been going through old photos. There are a lot of this little girl with chocolate of some sort all her over face. She is her mommy's daughter and loves chocolate.
Oh they use to get along, and yes there attitude starts early, Ella was not even 10.
Another they use to get along. Then she became a teenager.
I could just eat this cutie. One of my favorite photo shoots I did of Anna. This one dressed as Gusgus.
~ WHAT I AM LOVING ~
We had a random day at the beginning of the month with temps in the upper 40s. Anna is very much an outside kid, unless it is cold. She got out there and chalked.
I am loving Seibella nail polish from the wellness box. Nail polish normally chips in a day if not sooner. This nail polish has been lasting a few days on my nails.
I am loving family movie nights with popcorn and a fire. Anna has been requested one every night but we only do the on weekends.
~ WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO ~
This month started off rough with 3 weeks of everyone sick. We are finally all healthy. This is the first first 5 day week this year, yes we are only 2 months in but still.
Every weekend Anna and Austin have some sort of fort sleepover. Brian helps build it.
Every Saturday Austin has a basketball game.
Anna's favorite game is Monopoly. We have been playing a lot of it.
It is double sided and one side is harder than the other (more money, more pieces) we have done both.
Anna and Austin had a sleepover at Memaws and PaPaws
Girls night Casino themed fundraiser followed by meeting up with the guys at the bar.
Hat day at school and Anna talked me into driving her to school one day. It is not the most convenient with her still being in a car seat that she can't unbuckle herself. We got there early enough that we had to wait so while we were waiting I unbuckled her.
Disinfecting... from the stomach bug to the flu. Thankfully only one us got the flu.
My last party as Austin's room parent. I had a lot of fun doing it this year.
I also got to volunteer for Anna's Valentine's Day party. I was volunteering every Tuesday in Anna's class but parent volunteers are no longer needed.
We have had a lot of fires this month. Keeping warm on freezing evenings.
Brian made a delicious Valentine's Day dinner of steak, and lobster tail.
I had a surprise visit from my best friend who I haven't seen in 2 years even though we live 30 minutes away from each other. We do talk, text, and video chat usually everyday.
We missed a few Sunday's with being sick, but we are back and Anna is up front dancing at the end of each service at church.
Before school fun. They like to play with cars, trucks, semi's, etc and have them crash on the stairs. They get along so well before school usually. After school is a different story.
Brian and his brother planned a surprise 70th birthday party for his mom.
~ WHAT I AM DREADING ~
I have to do some adulting things that I have been putting off for a while. They are getting done today and tomorrow.
~ WHAT I AM WORKING ON ~
Going through all the pictures and videos on my phone and Google drive. I started on January 1st and searching for any photos on each specific day and getting rid of duplicates, screenshots, random, etc. Eventually we will be getting new phones and I know having more open space will help.
~ WHAT I AM EXCITED ABOUT ~
A new month, potential new opportunities, and warmer temps.
~ WHAT I AM WATCHING ~
I started watching the newest season of Sweet Magnolias but never finished it. I haven't watched much TV at all.
~ WHAT I AM READING ~
~ FAVORITE AMAZON PURCHASE THIS MONTH ~
I have two. One I technically got the end of last month.
New pillow covers for our living room. Great for spring or even all year.
I am loving my walking pad, working on my goal of getting 10,000 steps at least 3 days a week.
~ WHAT WE ARE DOING THIS WEEKEND ~
Date night with another couple who we haven't hung out with in a few years. It is Brian's best friend and we see him every so often but not his wife.
~ WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH ~
We have no big plans. I am just excited for warmer weather, longer days, and time with my family.
Thank you for stopping by!!!!! If you are new here,
Feel free to follow along.
XOXO

Yay for a full week of school/routine! It sounds like you've had some fun in there this month between all the sickness.
ReplyDeleteI'm so ready for warmer weather too! Peter Pan + fireplace looks super cozy though!
