Hello Monday (October 21, 2024)

 


Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  I am here with Sarah  and we are chatting about our weekends. Hope you will join us!  Here is what we were up to...




It was time for Cass and My Annual Risotto Night...I was actually a bad photographer...didn't capture a picture of the cooking OR us...sigh...anyway...snapped a pic of the leftovers ;)



and also snapped a pic of the festive dessert I made.  This is "Ghosts in the Graveyard."  I try to make it every year for the kids.  Thought I was being funny by putting the names of Diana's exes on the tomb stones but she kinda flipped out and made me change them before Tommy came over...ha!


It is funny, though, when Rob mentioned this dessert to Kayla, she talked about it being one of her faves and loved when I put her exes on the tombstones...well Diana will mature...eventually right?! Ha!


Remi was very curious...and of course, supervising my work in the kitchen


That night, the house was like Grand Central Station- Cass was with me...Tommy came over to hang with Diana and Eva had her little friend Cora over...Robby B hung out in his office with Remi...it really was a fun night :)






Well we haven't been on a date walk in awhile...it is a combo of crazy activities with the kids AND being so tired that we need to sleep in until 7 so we are determined to get back to it.

Anyway, Rob took off for softball with Eva.  She was asked to play with the 12U team this weekend and she was able to catch for them...she was very excited!


I laid in bed and watched my very first Hallmark of the season.  I LOVED this one..."Christmas By Starlight." I see myself watching this one again and will recommend it to everyone!


Then Diana and I got ready for the day and headed to Playa Bowls for breakfast.  What a fun and healthy treat...and bonus having some QT with my girl


Meanwhile...at home plate






Then it was time to head to the last home game of the season.  It was also  Senior Day where the senior football players and cheerleaders were honored.  They marched onto the field with their parents and a teacher of their choice- so special!  The parents also made each student a collage poster- love that tradition!




















Laurel and Tom met me there and we enjoyed the game together





It was an ugly game.  At first the Jaguars were holding their own and ahead by two touchdowns but it all fell quickly.  Our starting QB quit this week after the coaches started another QB.  So the #2 was in and he got severely injured- it was awful.  Enter #3 who was thrown to the wolves.  It all went downhill from there and we lost 28-14



At home, Baby Sylvie arrived and Papa Rob did a great job supervising...especially as Eva was stealing her oxygen...ha!  She had a fun night with us
















Rob, Eva and Papa were off to hockey first thing.  I drove Diana and her friend up to Concord to watch Tommy's baseball game..I admired some foliage in the parking lot





Then I got creative in the kitchen with some leftovers and whipped up a turkey pot pie with puff pastry for the fam

 


Then I met up with Tina and Misty for a cocktail..it had been too long!

Robby B did the grocery shopping and then we chilled last night.  It was an awesome fall weekend..what were you all up to?

Friday Favorites (October 18, 2024)

 



Hi Friends!  It is Friday...yeah!!!!  As always, sharing some faves and glimpses of joy from our week....




A Boy and His Boo Basket








Celebrating Remi


Remi (a.k.a Bub, Bubba, The Warden) turned 4!  We celebrated with some special (allergy friendly) food and we sang to him- he also got a new toy :)




He got a special outdoor workout in this week too while we enjoyed the foliage











MEMEs

 







Team Building


Karissa, the WHS Cheer Coach, put together a night of team building.  She scheduled an escape room for the girls and wanted to have a dinner before...so she knew who to call...ha!

 

The Dessert Table




The Dining Set Up (in the Family Room)



The Food

I made four different pasta dishes- Chicken, Broccoli and Ziti, Pasta Primavera, Pasta with Meat Sauce and Pasta with Marinara Sauce.  Then I tossed together a Caesar Salad and warmed up some Garlic Bread

 



I also put out some mozzarella sticks so the girls could snack when they first arrived




 For dessert, I made my Rolo Ritz Bars and also put out some store bought chocolate chip cookies

 Baby Gianna was there to supervise ;)




I was so happy because the girls really ate and even went for seconds!  They also had fun...the adults heard lots of laughing and talking...yeah!





 

A Spooky Wine Group


Right after the last guest left last night, I put on some spooky makeup and headed to Lea's as she was hosting wine group.  This year we didn't have to wear costumes...we just had to wear black and she wanted us to add something spooky so I painted a spider web on my face ;)







If you have been following along for awhile, then you know that Lea is the Queen of Halloween....she brought her A game with  her Halloween decor as always...and we had a blast tasting wines from the Pride Winery.













That's a wrap!  Wishing you all a Wonderful Fall Weekend!
