Oh Monday, We meet again!! We had a pretty laid back weekend and it was just what we needed after getting back into our school grove!!
So today I am linking up with Johannah for hello Monday!!
Friday I spent most of the day volunteering at the elementary school! I made copies for Ella's class and started organizing the PTO storage trailer~~
So I made Taco Soup for dinner~~ I will be sharing the recipe on Wednesday, August 17th for Johannah and I's Recipe Club!!
It was super YUMMY!

Sunday we headed to church and lunch! Then my guys headed to the Golf Course!!
Ella had to come home and clean her room...It was a MESS!!
I will NEVER understand how she can make such a MESS!

While they were cleaning, I was cleaning the rest of the house and folding laundry!!
Meanwhile, Duke was napping. HA
I am happy to report that Ella's room and drawers are clean!!
She really wants to redo her room, so I told her she had to keep her room clean for a month before I will spend the time, money, and effort to redo her room!! For Ella, this task will be HUGE!!
Hope you guys had a great weekend!!
xoxo, Heather
You guys had a great weekend!! I am absolutely loving the Olympics. Swimming and gymnastics are my absolute favorite to watch =)
ReplyDeleteAnd can I also say I am sooo glad to see that there are other little girls besides Emma that have a hard time keeping their rooms clean! haha
Have a great Monday, Heather =)
I love swimming and gymnastics too! But my guys are so looking forward to golf:)
DeleteOh girl it's awful... Why oh why?!?!?
She stepped on a toy and hurt her foot and you would have thought she was going to die! 😜
Ella sounds like my daughter! Her room was a disaster and generally stays that way. I told her if she kept it clean she may get two sleepovers instead of one...we'll see! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI mean... It drives me CRAZY!!! 😬
DeleteThe Olympics made my weekend!! Love it so much!!
ReplyDeleteMe too!! I love swimming and gymnastics. But my guys are so looking forward to golf!
DeleteSounds like a perfect weekend after a busy week of school! Can you send your friend Stephanie my address. I need a just because gift! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for your taco soup recipe! I love soup season! Have a great Monday!
I'll send her right over! HA!
DeleteThe taco soup is so YUMMY!!
Sounds like the PERFECT Saturday! I mean you just can't beat that combination!
