What's Up Wednesday

WHAT’S UP WEDNESDAY – APRIL

via Google

1. What We’re Eating This Month…

I've been trying to cook a little more than normal.

I've tried to make chicken & dumplings twice.. once last week and once yesterday. Last week it lacked flavor but the chicken and dumplings were cooked nicely. This week the flavor was better but the chicken and dumplings weren't cooked enough. Ha! I'm going to try again next week and maybe third time will be the charm!

What's Up Wednesday







A little late but I'm linking up to What's Up Wednesday today! 








1. What We’re Eating This Month…



We just got an Instapot and my husband has been trying it out the past few days. I just picked up this cookbook today and want to make something in it myself soon!







2. What I’m Reminiscing About…

L was getting out of her spica cast two years ago this month. She's come such a long way since then!!











3. What I’m Loving…

I'm loving my new phone! It has a great camera! I got my new phone Friday night and tried it out while I had Indie in childcare at church all day Saturday.



4. What We’ve Been Up To…

We've been potty training L for the past week. She seems to have finally turned a corner and hopefully this is it! She had a hip check-up at Shriners yesterday which was a day long trip. Thankfully her hips look great and they won't need to see her again for a year now! We were going every 6 months so this is great news!



5. What I’m Dreading…

L has a dental check-up tomorrow morning. She and S both had check-ups scheduled last Friday morning. S did fine but Indie was having a meltdown and we had to reschedule her's so she's going again tomorrow morning with G and C. I'm dreading it ha! Poor girl has been totally overwhelmed with potty training and her sensory issues have been pretty bad the past week or so.



6. What I’m Working On…

Potty training L, catching up on laundry, cleaning the house (it's a total wreck after a busy weekend), catching up on blogging. I need to grade a ton of G's homeschool work too...



7. What I’m Excited About…

We bought our Disney tickets this past weekend and booked our Airbnb! Our trip isn't until November but it's exciting to plan and prepare!!







8. What I’m Watching / Reading…

I just finished reading Beauchamp Hall by Danielle Steel. It's really good! And I've been watching Women Behind Bars on Netflix. Pretty good/interesting if you like true crime!



9. What I’m Listening To…

At the moment I'm listening to Peppa Pig on TV in the living room haha



10. What I’m Wearing…

Currently wearing black leggings. I think I've worn black leggings every single day since late October. :P 


11. What I’m Doing This Weekend…

I don't think we have any plans for Saturday but G wants to invite a friend over. We'll go to service Sunday morning then J and I will volunteer in C's second grade class at church. Sunday afternoon is life group. 


12. What I’m Looking Forward To Next Month…

Spring!! C starts baseball practice, signing the little girls up for soccer. I have no idea when spring break is but I'm thinking March.. 


13. What Else Is New…

We just bought a bunkbed for the little girls. Hopefully J can set it up tonight and maybe they'll actually start sleeping in their own room. We've co-slept with all our kids as babies which is fine when they're tiny but Sol is FIVE now and won't leave our room. :/ L is almost as big as S and it's just getting ridiculous ha! Now that potty training is (hopefully) well under way I'm hoping we can get them both in their room.. permanently.

Catching Up

We've been so busy around here I feel like I'm barely keeping my head above water. 
I had to skip a few activities last week because I was so worn out. We skipped dance, MOPS and sensory story time last week. I hated to miss anything but I think we all needed a break.

Saturday morning the little girls had soccer. Well, Sol played soccer while Indie 
sat next to me and wouldn't set foot out on the field ha! But Sol is like the star 
player for her team! She's so fun to watch!! 


Sunday morning we said good-bye to our sweet bunny and sent her to live in a new home. Mar got her back in February when she was about 8 weeks old but turned out to be allergic. The bunny didn't get the time and attention she deserved from the rest of us and I've been trying to find a loving home for her for a while now. I've asked around but none of our friends wanted her or knew of anyone else who would want her. I didn't want to give her to strangers so we kept her until we could find the perfect home. Last week I asked some friends and neighbors if they wanted her and they did! I'm so happy she went to them and that she's in a great, loving home! And she just lives one street over so we can visit any time! :) I really love her and feel sad about letting her go but I know it was
the right thing to do and know she's happy. 

We took our puppy to the dog park for the first time Monday afternoon! He LOVED it and even 
played with a German Shephard! I couldn't believe it since he usually seems scared of other dogs but he had a great time! I can't wait to take him back again! 


Late Monday evening I had to run errand and took all 4 kids with me since J was
home working late. On our way back home I hit a curb and blew out a front tire! 

My sweet husband was just finishing up work and came to our rescue. Sol 
was so sweet holding the flash light for him. :) 

 The girls and I took the van in to get new tires Tuesday morning. There's a Target just across the parking lot so we over there, browsed around and had a little lunch in the café area while our tires were replaced.  

 Our Target is being remodeled right now and the girls enjoyed the new play things 
(I think they're new?) in the toy area. 

Tuesday afternoon we went downtown for awhile where I took several photos of 
the kids for a fun, new review I have coming up! 

Tuesday evening I dropped Alex off at Trail Life then the girls and 
I headed to Barnes & Noble for awhile. 

This morning (Wednesday) I worked in childcare at church for a few hours then stopped
by Wal-Mart for a few things. Came home for a quick lunch and nap for Indie. 
Picked up Alex from school then headed to dance at 4:30. 

This goofy girl wanted to wear snow boots and sunglasses to dance this afternoon! Ha! 

After dance we went through Taco Bell drive thru for dinner then headed across town to drop Mar 
off at American Heritage Girls. The younger three and I went to a couple stores to browse around 
while she was there. 

We're back home now and I am SO excited about staying home all day tomorrow unless I decide 
to go up to the library for sensory story time in the afternoon. Mar doesn't have Girls On The Run tomorrow and I won't be picking up the neighbor kids tomorrow either so our Thursday will 
be pretty quiet this week. 

Indie has therapy here at home Friday morning but the rest of Friday should be free.
I have a ton of laundry and housework to catch up on AND need to get ready for my yard sale this weekend so it'll be nice to have a couple quiet days at home. 

It seems like our weeks are so busy and our weekends have been crazy lately too! I'm 
considering dropping a few things off our schedule. I know Mar could use a few more
 quiet days at home to focus on school work and I definitely need a lot of time at 
home to keep up with laundry, housework. And I think we could all use more time at home to 
relax, unwind and recharge. 

I'm really excited about my latest review and hope to have it up later this week!!

What's Up Wednesday



 A day late but here's my What's Up Wednesday

What We're Eating This Week: Whatever we can find in the pantry ha! I'm not much of a cook but I have been eating a lot of oatmeal with frozen fruit for breakfast this week. 

What I'm Reminiscing About: My dad was sick this time two years ago so I've been thinking about him a lot lately. 

What I'm Loving: Loving all the fall décor I'm seeing every where and loving this iced coffee mix! The packets are just $1.25 at Wal-Mart and so yummy! Much cheaper than going to Starbucks!




What We've Been Up To: Just staying busy with every day life... church, life group, public school, homeschool and several extra activities we have going on. 

What I'm Dreading: Going to the dentist! It's been way too long and I'm not expecting good news. :/ 

What I'm Working On: I need to lose like 50 lbs. I'm starting to work on that [again]. Just need to stay focused on my goals. 

What I'm Excited About: I'm excited about upcoming fall weather, changing leaves, fall clothing.. all things fall! 

What I'm Watching/Reading: I've been reading To The Moon And Back by Karen Kingsbury. I used to read her ALL the time but haven't read anything by her in years. I saw this one on the shelf recently and decided to try her again. I haven't really been able to get into it because this series/these characters have gone on forever but I'll try to finish it. 

What I'm Listening To: Just regular worship music in the car. Or whatever the kids are listening to at home which is usually worship, kids worship or something like "The ants go marching one by one" haha! 

What I'm Wearing: Just  the same old stuff. Usually jean capris and a loose flowy top if I'm going out. I love leggings around the house. I wore work-out clothes earlier in the week hoping to motivate myself to work out but it didn't work lol. 

What I'm Doing This Weekend: The girls have soccer Saturday morning. We're supposed to go to the neighbors Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning hubby and I are volunteering in Alex's second grade class at church. Sunday afternoon we have life group. 

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month: I'm looking forward to my mom coming out next month! We'll be going the Nest Fest and up to the mountains. Also celebrating Indie's 3rd birthday and my mom's birthday and, of course, Halloween is always fun. :) We may try to go to a hot air balloon festival too..

What Else Is New: Nothing is really new around here.
