Mom Life with Adrienne

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. How was your weekend? We spent the weekend celebrating Brian's birthday. Friday night him and I went out to dinner and the kids has a sleepover at my parents. Saturday I surprised them and took them out for ice cream at our favorite local place, Mitchells, that has the best vegan ice cream. Sunday we celebrated with his family. Throw in some Christmas shopping, Austin having an eye doctors appoint, church, plus more to the mix. It was a great weekend.

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. How was your weekend? We are over here knocking things off our to do list in preparation for hosting Thanksgiving. These are projects we had planned on doing eventually but this gave a kick in the butt to get it done and a deadline to get it done by. All I have to say is I hate wallpaper, I hate contractors who take shortcuts and do stupid work, and I don't know if my fingers will ever not have glue on them. Why would you not paint before apply wallpaper so we are ripping off dry wall, why was the fireplace put in after the baseboards and wallpaper? So many questions.

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. How was your weekend? For the most part it was solo parenting with just Anna and Austin. Brian went with the guys to watch The Ohio State Football game and I stayed home to do all the normal weekend activities from produce pickup to soccer to fun with friends. We also became official members of our church yesterday, being welcomes by the whole congregation, Brian was home for this. Overall a great start to October.

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. Even though it feels like summer is just getting started we are on our last full week of summer break and I have all the last minute things planned. Today we are doing Cedar Point again, hopefully the weather keeps changing. Tomorrow we have a play date planned at the park (fingers crossed it goes well with 7 kids and two adults)

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. How was your 4th of July week? Last week was a big blur. I couldn't tell you what day it was most of the week. We had family in town, Ella has been gone on vacation, and so much going on. I am excited for Ella to be coming home today and having a more normal week.

 Hey loves. I hope you had a wonderful relaxing Easter yesterday. We saw the Easter bunny on Saturday and spent time with my whole extended family like over 20 people who we haven't seen since before Covid. On Sunday we went to church, came home had an Easter egg hunt with the kids, and had a nice early dinner with the regular 15 of us, yes still a lot. Now I am ready to relax for a week. My kids are on Spring Break so there won't be much relaxing. We will have fun though

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. How was your weekend? We finally got some snow and then it melted or really never stuck. This winter has sucked for my area with the amount of snow we have gotten. The forecast also has snow for this week, lets see if it really happens.

 Hey loves. It's the second Monday of the month which means it's time for Not Just A Mom link up with these amazing ladies: Dara, Jen, Joanna, Lauren, and Sarah. Before I jump into this months top I want to thank everyone for the thoughts and prayers this past week My father-in law was is hospice and did pass away Friday morning. Our house has been crazy as the home base for everyone at this time. Brian has six siblings and five of them were able to make it home. We have had so many family and friends stop by, donate dinners and breakfast, etc. Every day we had between 15 to 25 people over keeping each other company and sharing the good times. I am so grateful and thankful for everyone and everything they have done. 

 Hey loves. Happy Monday and Happy Not Just A Mom week. How was your weekend? Brian and I went out to dinner for his birthday and enjoyed a quiet night without any kids thank you to my mom, sister, and niece. We also visited my dad in the nursing home, (he should be coming home today), got some Christmas shopping done, and celebrated his birthday with his family.

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. This month is flying by. Our month started off with our family passing around a cold/sinuses to 70 degrees weather to a chance of snow. Oh the fun. Now we are counting down the days until Thanksgiving break. Ella and Austin only have this week and one day next week. Today Anna doesn't have school for conferences and and a weight check doctors appt. Fingers crossed she gained weight and we don't have to do a bunch of tests to find out why. 

Hey loves. Happy Monday. How was your weekend? It is feeling like fall, with some rain and chilly temps. We did manage to have a fire inside so the kids could eat some smores, Austin's request all week. I am ready for a much more relaxed week ahead. My kids have a short week, they have school today where a lot of other schools are off for Columbus Day but we have off on Friday for some reason. 

 Hey loves. Happy Monday. It is hard to believe that it is already the second Monday of the month. How was your weekend? We hosted dinner for a few of Brian's siblings that were in from out of town. Brian made home made lasagna with homemade sauce and I made sour dough bread. It turned out great. It was nice meeting his one brother in law who hasn't been back to Ohio from Colorado in 10 years.

 Hey loves. How was your weekend? We had a great weekend that included checking a few more items off the kids summer bucket list, and another date night, two weekends in a row. Ella made the comment that we didn't need to go out again. We are lucky if we get one night out a month without kids, this will probably be our date night for the month.
