This weekend was super hot, but we also did a lot. It was one of the type of weekends where you make several memories that will be cherished forever.
We went to the party at the library with bouncy houses, painting, and even snow cones on Saturday. It was so hot that all of us were feeling dehydrated especially Bobbie. She passed out a couple of times so lots of love and gatorade was needed all weekend long.
After a restful Saturday night and most of Sunday. We went to the local splash pad Sunday night for some family fun time, we even brought my younger sister along. She helped with the girls. I got a little break, and fun that I needed of a while now. My husband saw that I was getting stressed out a bit so he surprised me with my sister coming with I had no idea until we picked her up. It was such a great surprise.
On Wednesday of this week Bobbie will be done with school for the year. We are going to do homeschooling this summer just to keep her learning all summer long and get a little bit ahead in school. We will be starting a bug unit on Wednesday and that will last around 2 weeks.
Breakfast
- yogurt
- toast w/ jelly
- french toast
- biscuit and sausage sandwiches
I am trying to get the girls to eat a heavy breakfast before it gets too hot. This way they are not crashing due to being hungry when it is too hot to eat. It gets very humid here in the summer.
Lunches
Sandwiches: Ham, turkey, or PB & J,
- served with either chips or gold fish, veggies: carrots or peppers with ranch, and fruit: strawberries or grapes
These will be made, wrapped, and waiting in the fridge and cabinet so they can just grab one and go back to learning or playing. Doing one basic meal with many different combinations helps my family save money and it works for everyone. My husband can even bring it to work with him.
Dinners
Monday- Grilled Chicken with mac and cheese
Tuesday- Chicken with mushrooms, peppers, and onions with white rice
Wednesday- Grilled Pork chops, with corn
Thursday- Chicken fajitas
Friday- Burgers and homemade jojos
Saturday- Leftover pork chops, with stuffing
To Drink
- Water ( trying to get them to drink as much water as possible)
- Juice Boxes- will be chilled in fridge
- Gatorade
- Iced tea (for me)
- Diet Dew (for husband)
- Milk (trying to minimize due to heat)

We’re having chicken fajitas tonight too! I love your idea of continuing school into the summer (I used to be a teacher!). Wishing you a great week with your adorable girls 🙂

I love that you are a former teacher and like my idea of homeschooling through the summer. It makes me feel even more sure that I am doing the right thing. Thank you! You have a great week too.
