scooters

 *My morning walks will soon be coming to an end as sunrise gets later and later each day. :( I'm prepping as much as I can the night before so that I have time to quickly get ready for work with the dwindling time I have left when I return. In addition to my true crime podcasts, I found a new favorite. I've long been fascinated by Scientology, so this podcast is super interesting to listen to.


*One of the first things Cameron wanted to do after he turned 14 was open his own bank account. Here he is while being taught how to use the ATM machine.


*We took our annual Labor Day weekend trip up north to celebrate Cameron's birthday with Chris' parents ( Aunt Noonie joined us as well!). There were Hallmark movies, great food, relaxing...all the usual wonderful stuff that fills the weekend. :)



*Chris' parents bought Cameron a scooter for his birthday. Kendall and I liked it so much, we used some Christmas money we had left and bought both of us scooters as well! Last weekend we headed to Newport and had a great time riding up and down the beach.

Stopping for donuts...


*On Tuesday night, after we dropped both kids off at church, Chris and I went out to eat. It was SO nice to be at a restaurant and we actually enjoyed the experience even more with it being outside. Chris picked the place and we had an all time favorite of mine....Mizithra with Browned Butter
from The Old Spaghetti Factory. It was such an enjoyable evening. :)



*Chris and I have been enjoying Cobra Kai. Since it's based off the old Karate Kid movies, Chris especially has enjoyed it and recognizes so many of the songs. We initially thought it would be fun to watch with the kids, however despite it being mild compared to many shows today, it still isn't as kid-friendly as we had hoped.



*I've been trying to meal plan more. Granted, it only amounts to planning a couple nights out of the week, but it's better than nothing! I tried a Pizza Roll recipe my sister gave me. Despite their faces, they actually enjoyed it. I have Chris and the kids rate each recipe afterward, to help determine if it will be on repeat. :)
