Not gonna lie, it’s a Monday that feels totally like a Monday to me. 🙂
I think it’s because we had a really good weekend…nothing really amazing happened, but it rained, stormed, and the temperature dipped below the nineties! I spent way too much time curled up on the couch with a blanket, the family, and a football game on t.v. It was THAT kind of a weekend. All kinds of good!
Today, is a complete hodge podge of randomness…it’s all over the place.
First up is THIS NEW COOKBOOK by my girl, Shay! You guys! This cookbook takes the work out of meal planning…all the heart eyes right there. It’s split into weeks with seven meals and one sweet treat each week. The best part is…THE GROCERY LIST IS INCLUDED! So, if you’re like me and do as much online grocery shopping as you can-I’m going to add those items to my cart and voila-shopping is DONE! And my meals are all planned for the week! Seriously, I love this cookbook ALREADY! We’re having the Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie for dinner tonight and I’m already looking forward to it.
You can pre-order Meal Planner now! The cookbook is being released on October 2nd! WAHOO!
One more thing…we’ve been cooking our way through the Eats cookbook and Ebby Lee has made several things we’ve all loved…Blueberry Banana Bread, Nutella Cinnamon Rolls, and Strawberry Cupcakes with Blueberry Cream Cheese Frosting to name a few. And a new family favorite is the Sausage Tortellini Bake. If you have that cookbook, try ALL of those! And if you don’t, order that now too!

Have you heard about McKinney’s new football stadium? It’s home to all three McKinney high schools, seats 12,000, and has an attached event center. Our high school played last week and we showed up. If you look closely in the picture above, you can see the opposing team’s fans-however did NOT show up for it. haha!
When we left we ran into some flag football teammates right outside the stadium. In just eight more years these boys could be playing on that field!

I need to get my driver’s license renewed and I’d heard just awful things about the wait times at our local office. I was told to drive to an office about 45 minutes away to save time…so that’s exactly what I did. You guys I got there and you can see my number above…89. Wanna guess what number they were serving?
58
Sigh.
It was right around lunch time so two workers had just taken a lunch. I was told the wait would be at least two and a half hours. I didn’t have that much time before I had to start carpool pick-up so I had to leave.
I’ve gotta know…is this the case where you live? And if not and you’re in Texas, can I come visit and we can go to your local Texas Department of Public Safety office while I’m there? 🙂

This past Friday night we had BIG plans to watch the cutest umpire {Tab, of course} live and in action at the SMU/TCU game here in Dallas.
But the weather had other plans…our sweet friends, the Shulls, were gonna watch Tab too. We all drove down, grabbed some food before the game, and the rain WOULD NOT STOP.
Meanwhile, these two cuties were having the time of their life with a babysitter, cat pajamas, AND markers.
After the start time of the game began getting pushed back, we finally decided to drive on home. My crew and I showered, got all comfy cozy, and watched it on the couch instead {when it finally started two hours later}.

Due to the rain this weekend, Bowen’s first flag football game got cancelled, but we all got to watch Ebby Lee in her pre-season tournament on Saturday. This fall a new coach has taken over and I love getting to just watch and be a parent. It’s gonna be a good season!
I think that wraps up all my thoughts. Hope you guys rock this Monday!
