Our Week with National Pug Day, Kathryn Passing her Physical Test, Lunch Date, and Celebrating LA.

 Hey Y'all! Happy Wednesday! I hope y'all are having a great week so far. I am recapping last week and this past weekend. 

October 13th-19th

Monday, October 13th- 

Ian to work, Ben to the office, coffee and Jesus for me, and Ella to school. I got ready and headed to workout at Burn at 8:30. Got home, washed sheets, and towels. I washed all the windows on the main level. That was a bad idea after arm day at the gym! HA I watered my plants and did a few more things around the house. 

Ben and Ian went to Legends. Ella and I ate dinner and the boys ate when they got home. I cleaned up, showered, and curled up on the couch to wait for Ella to get home from YL. 

It was the first day back to school for Ella since fall break and her second grade babies made sure she had gifts to celebrate her birthday. They gave her 18 cards, a tumbler, and cupcakes. 

Tuesday, October 14th- 

Ian to work, Ben to the office, coffee and Jesus for me, and Ella to school. I enjoyed a very lazy morning. I finished my book, ran to Publix, and typed out a blog post. 

Ella went to work after school. I made fettuccine alfredo for dinner. I cleaned up the kitchen, showered, and curled up on the couch before crashing. 

Wednesday, October 15th- 

Ian to work, Ben to the office, coffee and Jesus for me, and Ella to school. I dropped Trixie off at the groomers at 8am and then went to Burn at 8:30. 

Since it was National Pug Day, Trixie got the works at the groomers and Arby's. Her face was still wet because she hates the dryer in her face! HA 

She loved the steak bites. 

Ian went to Kathryn's for the evening and Ella had to work again and then went to Cookout with a friend. I made Ben and I a salad for dinner. Once Ella was home, we all crashed. 

Thursday, October 16th- 

Ian to work, Ben to the office, coffee and Jesus for me, and Ella to school. I did a clean sweep of the house and laundry. I got ready and headed to my nail appointment at 10:30 and my hair appointment at 12:15. 

Trixie was loving Ella's bed! HA 

Kathryn passed her physical test for Firefighter/EMT training. She hopes to start the training program in March. Ian asked me to make her one of her favorite meals so of course I made it. Lemon Pepper chicken, Dirty rice, and green beans. I also picked up her favorite Crumbl Cookie. 

We are so proud of Kathryn. 

Friday, October 17th- 

Ian to work, Ben to the office, coffee and Jesus for me, and Ella to school. I went to Burn at 8:30 then walked with Keri afterwards. My knee was hurting so I did a little red light therapy and since I have a velcro dog, Trixie got a little therapy as well. HA 

I got ready and headed to El Real to have lunch with Talia. We had so much fun catching up over fajitas and margaritas. 

We went to a few stores to shop before heading home. We snapped this picture. 

I got home, put up the groceries, and poured a glass of wine before settling into my chair to read. 

Ben and Ian went to play golf. Ella went to the football game for WB. She sent me this picture. 

Once the boys were on their way home, I cooked a frozen pizza for dinner. We ate, I cleaned up, washed my face, and curled up on the couch. I went to bed around 10pm. Ella spent the night at Addison's. 

Saturday, October 18th- 

Ella and the girls headed to Milly for the day and night. Boys headed to the course. It was coffee and Jesus for me. Then Trixie and I drove to Duluth to pick up our pottery that we painted for Ella's birthday. 

Look at sweet Trixie. 

It felt so good with the sunroof open on the way back. 

I got home, put on college game day, and started vegetable beef soup to cook. 

Look at sweet Hot Rod!! I loved when he was our kicker! He is just precious. 

We set up the TV on the back deck to watch the game. 

Bella came to visit. 

DAWGS WIN. 

We watched more football on the back deck and then half time of the TN/BAMA game, Ben brought the TV inside and finished watching it in bed. I curled up on the couch and scrolled IG. I went to bed a little after 10pm. 

Ella and Stephanie sent me these pictures of their day and night in Milly for Deep Roots. 

She found Brett. 

Ella and Wes. 

She had a lot of fun!! 

Sunday, October 19th- 

We slept in and then I made bacon, eggs, and biscuits for breakfast. I cleaned up, poured more coffee and then went to my chair to watch church online. Ben, Ian, and Kathryn went to the mall. Ben needed new shoes for a work trip. 

After church, I did my bible reading, clean sweep of the house, got ready, and headed to Publix to make sure I had everything for the kids lunches. 

I got home, unloaded, did a few more things around the house, setup my planner for the week, typed out this blog post, and then at 5pm we headed to The Boswell's for dinner to celebrate Leigh Anne's birthday. 

Love my LeLe! 

We had a great time being together! We just missed Kathryn, Bailey, and Matt. 

We got home, Ben packed, and we did a few more things to get ready for a new week.
