Hey! It’s time for What’s Up Wednesday. 🙂
What We’re Eating This Week…
Monday: Pizza Joe’s and brussel sprouts {my favorite}.
Tuesday: We let Bowen choose the restaurant for his special birthday dinner…he voted hibachi so we had all the fried rice we could handle.
Wednesday: Since we had ALL THE TURKEY last week my body was craving burgers…Swiss Stuffed Burgers are happening tonight. Anyone else feeling this way?
Thursday: Tab and I have a fun night out so the kiddos will be enjoying corn dogs and french fries.
Friday: We have another night out…didn’t plan it that way…but I’ll order pizza for the crew at home.
What I’m Reminiscing About…
This big six-year-old being a squishy toddler….oh, how I miss that baby Bowen.
Now he’s all grown up and looking like this. Sigh.
What I’m Loving…
I pulled out this picture from our visit with Santa last year and I’m loving it. Doesn’t every baby need a picture where they’re losing their mind on Santa’s lap? #priceless
What We’ve Been Up To…
We had a fabulous time with family over Thanksgiving. Getting some shopping time alone with my sister-in-law and mom was just icing on the cake.
We watched The Grinch on Friday afternoon-CUTE CUTE-and a super festive movie to get in the Christmas spirit. Then we made our way over to Bass Pro. Bass Pro typically has a few things for the kiddos to do…carousel, crafts, and more along with being decked out in Christmas decor. There was hardly anyone else in the store so we snagged a ticket to see Santa.
We strolled around and pretended to ride four-wheelers. Britt was rocking her fall clothes and a side pony. #thanksfordressingmegrandma #haha
Along with pose in front of big Christmas trees. 🙂
What I’m Dreading…
Nothing at the moment…it’s the most wonderful time of the year!
What I’m Working On…
I’ve been busy working on upcoming Spring Break trips, summer vacations, and we’re quickly booking lots of fall 2019 getaways for sweet families like the one above. If you’d like help with planning your next vacation, please e-mail us mixandmatchtravelagency@yahoo.com.
What I’m Excited About…
All the fun festivities this season brings….from holiday parties to family movie nights…I’m excited about it ALL.
What I’m Watching/Reading…
I just finished The 13th Gift: A True Story of a Christmas Miracle and it was so good! I’m fairly certain it should be a Hallmark Christmas movie or maybe it already is one? But it touched my heart and I’d definitely recommend it.
We’re watching ALL THE CHRISTMAS MOVIES around our house.
What I’m Listening To…
ALL CHRISTMAS MUSIC. ALL THE TIME.
What I’m Wearing…
I got tons of messages about this sweater and I’m so sad to report it’s sold out. 🙁 I got it from Vici and they have a TON of super cute sweaters…you should check them out.
And you can see all the new items I’ve been wearing lately in this post.
What I’m Doing This Weekend…
My favorite dancer has her Christmas recital and I cannot wait to watch!
What I’m Looking Forward to Next Month…
The thing I’m the most excited about are these family advent calendar cards. There are 25 in the kit, one for each day of December and they’re quick activities that go along with a scripture of the day.
This is an example of an activity…it spans the ages of my kids and will be something everyone can participate in. I’m looking forward to starting this with my people!
What Else is New…
I was strolling around Target this week and saw that big coloring pad Britt was coloring on last year. In the dollar section, Target has the big Countdown to Christmas activity books for $3.00. Last year, I grabbed some and left them out on my kiddos’ spots at the table. When they had a second they’d do the activity, color, and just have fun with it. Some of it was super easy for Ebby Lee, but she still enjoyed it. Just wanted to pass on that find. 🙂
What’s My Favorite Elf-on-the-Shelf Trick…
This is where I’m really no help to anyone….that elf and I are not friends. I forget to move him and to be honest, he ends up spending the majority of his days posing in our garland, stockings, or Christmas tree. Anyone else?
Hope you guys have a great Wednesday!
