5 Things Friday

  1. I feel like I can finally exhale.  We are officially six weeks into foster care, have had two court dates, several medical appointments, and a dental appointment.  The last appointment is an eye appointment which is not for another couple of weeks.  We have started the process of becoming licensed.  We also have had multiple visits from the caseworker.  I feel like we are finally able to get into a routine and not everything is new and needs a plan.
  2. Our chickens have started to lay again!  We are currently getting between 6 and 9 eggs a day.  I am trying to make all the things I can think of to eat currently as well as I do plan to water glass several half gallons of eggs.  I am even debating going ahead and water glassing an entire 5 gallon bucket of eggs. We did actually use some water glassed eggs in brownies and for baking just to make sure we could use them.
  3. This weekend will be very different around here. Kendall and Matt are headed to Greensboro College for an honor’s college day on Saturday.  Greensboro is one of her top two choices.  Kendall has already received 44.000 a year in scholarships from Catawba which is her other top choice.
  4.  Lily is working and also baby sitting this weekend.  That leaves me, Zach and E at home on Saturday. Braxton has a ballgame at noon, I need to go to Dollar General to get some sodas and I want to start working on gardening projects. But we will see.
  5.  We are continuing to work on figuring out what is actually wrong with the Honda Civic that we purchased six weeks ago.   It stales and stops when it is raining or just after a rain.

  1. This is the first week in the entire school year that I feel like I am finally able to balance work and life.  Work is still super busy and next week is going to be wrong and even today I have more to do than i am able but I feel like I can handle it or rather God is going to provide peace and security for me.
  2. The Central Davidson varsity football team are the conference champions, first time since 1946.  Zach has started on JV most of the season. And he was pulled up to varsity for the play offs. There is a slim chance that he will actually get to play but we are all going to the game just in case it happens. Kendall is likely going to watch another player but so is life.
  3. My snow village and the new “Disney” village have both been completed this week. I am planning to make a full blog post on them for next week
  4. We are headed to Florida for Thanksgiving!  I am not responsible for any cooking! On black Friday, we are all headed to Disney. David and Haley and the kids are coming up with us. Lily and Braxton are flying in as well!  The kids and I will miss an extra week of school. I am super excited!
  5. I am going to assume that probably 2 of the 4 new chickens we purchased at the end of the summer have started laying. We went the entire month of October without a single egg. I actually purchased 6 dozen eggs from a coworker. This past week we started getting 1 and 2 large brown eggs!   Even more exciting is the fact that we also got 1 green egg this week which means at least one of the older chickens probably the white one is laying as well.

Lots of school and friend fun made Home Coming week fun for both Kendall and Zach!

Zach nailed the BBQ Dad Day!

 

Kendall worked hard on her jeans for Friday! The only day she actually went to school during Home Coming week.

Zach left really early (before 7am) on Friday morning to be part of “Dudes at the door” as Southwood.

Both enjoyed being part of the Homecoming Parade!
