it got cold here yesterday….now it's fall.
so there are no outside baths and swimsuits going on this weekend.
poor waffle is in desperate need of a haircut.
he has to wait till wednesday though.
i made THIS SOUP last night….yummmm.
perfect for the first cold night of september!
and i made THIS DESSERT for mr. duerksen this week.
i love when i can surprise my family.
it's like they say "really??? oh yeah…i forgot you know how cook!"
ha!
we are going to a home high school football game tonight to see the little girls do a cheer routine…very cute.
then saturday morning we head out to 2 soccer games, one 5th grade volleyball game, one 6th grade football game and one high school volleyball tournament.
i don't think there wil be any relaxing whatsoever.
this weather just makes me want to curl up and take a nap.
what are YOU doing this weekend?
Kari - Going to the Hillsboro Arts and Crafts Fair!!
Tracy - Which High school football game did you go to? Was it Hutchinson vs Rockhurst?? We are in Kansas City and my son played on the Rockhurst team. Great game (for Rockhurst)!!
Mum of all trades - Your Saturday sounds similar to ours. We had a football tournament this morning, then onto a charity fun run. My husband has taken the 4 boys for a round of golf now and I am just getting warmed up on the couch with my youngest. It is very cold here in Ireland too, but I love this time of year. It brings out the best in us mums I think, feeding the brood up and keeping them protected against the elements. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Terri - Oops! I don’t know what happened to my spelling! I meant do you remember where you bought the adorable polka dot COLLAR that Waffle wears? I love it!
Terri - Do you remember where you bought the adorable polka dot solar that Waffle wears? I love it and would love to get one for my golden retriever!
Gittygitt1196 - Hi! This is my first comment post…..yay!
Fall has arrived in Northern Ohio too our days are getting colder and our nights are just about ready to make a cozy fire. I am heading to a huge craft show today, The Village Peddlar! Hoping to score some cool finds to bring Fall into our home. Have a great “sporty” day!
Leah - I envy your start of fall. San Diego decided to hit 108-degrees today. There was no fall in sight. Hopefully it cools down so I can get out the fall decor and make soup and chili. I can’t stand this weather, especially when it’s nearly fall.
Cheryl E. - Spent the day at a flea market & antique show with my hubby! It’s a good thing though because the rest of the weekend involves driving kids to and from sports and other activities!
Debbie S. - 7 soccer games and 2 baseball games! Puttin’ the miles on my mini-van this weekend 🙂
April R - We’re doin’ the same thing – desperately need to get the garage under control 🙂
Putting some good music on and getting started tonight!
Rach - Could you send some cold this way please? It’s 103 today!! I want to make some Fall soup and sit on the front porch in a blanket and drink warm cider in the morning. Please post some cool weather pictures so I can live vicariously until it cools down here.
Kristin S - These pics make me wonder…. was I ever free enough to just run around the yard in a swimsuit and not care? Maybe? Probably? I don’t remember that, though.
Now I have to deal with cover ups, tanks, shorts, self-tanner, hair-remover….
They have no idea how great they have it?!?!?
Weekend? Last free weekend until December so I’m doing housework and burning fall smelling candles.
Alicia @ La Famille - it’s starting to get cool in the mountains of NC too. i love this time of year. we picked apples today…very fallish 😉 happy (busy) weekend to yOU!
Shannon - Jealous you have cold weather! It’s still in the high 90’s here in CA, not good weather for Fall 🙁 I want soup, pumpkin candles lit all day and blankets right away!
Barbara - Tonight I think I’ll be making Mr. D’s Peanut Butter pie. Thought I might try putting it on an Oreo cookie crust. We’re going to some friend’s house tomorrow night so this will be the perfect thing to bring – if it makes it til then! Thanks!
Amber - Helping a friend learn to use power tools and build a custom baby gate and maybe, just maybe meeting my new niece or nephew if (s)he decides to come out into the world.
Michelle - It got cold here too! We’re relaxing this weekend, after travelling last weekend and a crazy weekend upcoming, we’ve decided to do a whole lot of nothing.
Jocelyn Pascall - I WISH it would get cold here. I live in Portland, OR and we are still in the 90s over here, which is very unusual. Anyway, my husband and I are going to tackle cleaning out the garage this weekend. Not a fun project, but something that desperately needs doing. Have a great weekend!
Tiffany - ick!ick!ick to fall. more summer for me please. its our annual block party, turned ice cream social with the neighborhood. come over, guests are always welcome.
Maria - 2 soccer games, watching some friends in Grease, one scout campout for the older boys and youth group for the older boys, hopefully a movie for the younger ones..the calm before the storm, “easy” weekend for once…and maybe a stop by olive garden for some soup!
happygirl - You remind me that our dog really needs a bath. And I need to make soup. Now I’m tired just thinking about doing those two things. 🙂
elisa - Love seeing Waffle in his collar 🙂 just posted your post link on my fb page. I didn’t forget about your armband- someone bought the one I had laid out to send. I will get you one soon. Waffles need a new collar? It’s halloween time ya know!
Have a great weekend!
Christy K - This weekend the plan is to clean the craft room (insert horror movie music here)and drive up to the cottage for the day to see the progress on some construction we’re having done. It’s been cool here too, it was zero degrees when I woke up this morning! Made for a rather brisk wait at the school bus stop, haha. Sounds like you’ve got quite the weekend ahead, here’s hoping you have a few moments to relax and breathe! Happy Friday!
Sophie - Waffle always looks like such fun! 🙂
This weekend I’m packing to go visit my best friend from high school who’s moved away to another city for college – I get to spend a whole six days with her but it’ll probably be the last time I get to see her before Christmas and New Year.
Terrie - Oh how I miss all those games!! I don’t miss all the running that came with them.. Ha!
No more kids in school…but there still seems to be crazy schedules…somehow I thought that would end.
Silly thinking on my part.
We walked into the Lion King on Wednesday night and it as all hot…walked out and it’s like we were in a different season…
just like that!.
My weekend involves a funeral for a Bible study leader…so sudden and unexpected.
Then to the KSU football game, visiting with the in-laws.
Sunday…so excited…going to pick up my daughter and my grandson so they can spend a week with us while her hubby is at an out-of-town audit. Trying to baby-proof my house today…since he’s walking already! Wish me luck!!
Have a great weekend!!
🙂
Alice H - almost the same as you…high school football game tonight. Go BA Tigers!! Then I am meeting up with some friends to watch a band at a bar. Tomorrow I have a 6th grade football game. Then laundry and more laundry, and cleaning, and cooking/preparing meals for the week. Exhausting! But I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Denise V. - How funny–we had the very same exact soup for dinner last night. I fixed ours in the crockpot and it was ready when I got home. I must have gotten this recipe from you originally in another post. So good!
