It is time for my favorite linkup of the month- What's Up Wednesday! We are answering the questions above. As always, linking up with Mel, Shay and Sheaffer HERE
Here it goes....
What We Are Eating This Week
It has been unseasonably HOT here in New England. It is strange to decorate for fall and Halloween with temps in the 80's BUT I will take it! I am an "Eternal Summer" kinda girl. Anyway, we kept dinners simple last week and we plan on doing the same this week and pretending it is still summer! So....we are using the grill and grilling up some meat and making salads!
Monday- Steak with Coffee Rub and Greek Salad
Tuesday- Roasted Chicken, Brown Rice and Green Beans
Wednesday- Marinated Chicken Thighs and Garden Salad
Thursday- Citrus Shrimp Salads
Friday- Friday Night Pizza Night!
What I'm Reminiscing About
My Babies...always...and how quickly time goes by...it kills me sometimes.....Here is a look back at our "Halloweens"
What I'm Loving
These Summer Temps!
What We've Been Up To
Eva returned to gymnastics!
Mama attended the Richard Marx and Rick Sprinfield show at The Bank of American Pavillion in Gilford with her PTA pals!
Diana has been cheering her heart out!
and tried out for The Nutcracker...she got cast as a party child and is extremely excited!
We attended our first annual neighborhood block party!
Diana started taking Saxophone lessons
and though her school council run was not victorious, it was a family affair and we had a blast helping her!
We enjoyed celebrating Black Out Cancer Week with Friends
and attending the Falsetti's Oktoberfest!
and Mama and Daddy enjoyed the Newport Wine and Food Festival
and while we were away, the girls had an exciting weekend with Mimi and Papa Pete- complete with Halloween Cookie making!
What I'm Dreading
The S Word...with temps in the 80's I am sure we don't have to worry about it for another month or so but hopefully more...I just don't like it..plain and simple
What I'm Working On
Recruiting...Recruiting...Recruiting
What I'm Excited About
Our Risotto Night! We are having friends over in a few weeks and having a sort-of contest where we will judge a few different risottos and have a fun night of food and games and I am sure plenty of laughs!
What I'm Watching/Reading
Well, Vice Principals finally came back (insert Praise The Lord Hands Here) ;)
Dance Moms insanity continues....
Dancing With The Stars 25 just started- routing for Debbie Gibson of course!
Can't wait for the return of This Is Us and American Housewife this week too!
On Netflix, I LOVED LOVED LOVED Friends From College and can't wait for Season 2!
and finally, Diana and I are jumping into Glee- from the beginning- she is so obsessed with the theater, it is feeding that hunger. I just mute the inappropriate parts or parts I don't think she is ready for.
I am reading....
Foul Play At The Fair by Shelley Freydont- so far so good! I am loving that through blogging, I learned about some new fall mystery novels!
What I'm Listening To...
Believer is still on repeat around these parts...we originally dubbed it our Summer of 17 song...it has now become our family song
and another recent fave is Attention by Charlie Puth
What I'm Wearing
This warm weather lends itself nicely to all things Lilly in these parts!!
and I actually looked back at the dresses from Newport the last three years and you know what? Yep! Lilly all the way....
2015
2016
and this year, 2017
What I'm Doing This Weekend
Lots of cheer for Miss Diana- practice- a pep rally and a game and a dinner with friends mixed in!
What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month
All of the Halloween Fun....then as soon as Halloween night hits...it is time to turn on Hallmark! Ha ha!!!
What Else Is New?
I love these two snuggle bugs :)
Bonus Question Of The Month: WHAT TV SHOW AM I MOST EXCITED ABOUT THIS FALL?
That is a TOUGH one but I would have to say This Is Us :)
So what have you been up to?? Can't wait to grab my coffee and read!
