All these meals planned with E-MEALZ Easy Meals for Busy and Frugal Families

Now that Kaylin is headed back to school, I signed back up with e-mealz. For $5 a month it takes the stress off of me. This week, I can get Jeremy to agree to all the meals, but there is the occasional meal that he doesn't like, so I still get to use my own creativity on those days. Also, I sometimes change it up to cater to what we have on hand. Example, the two days that list crescent rolls - they called for garlic bread sticks and french loaf, but we have two cans of crescent rolls in the fridge.

End of summer!

Well, it's the last day of summer! Kaylin starts 1st grade tomorrow (where does the time go?!) and Jonathan goes back to Mother's Day Out next week.

We had my nephews here for a week, which was a lot of fun. The kids loved having them here and the boys loved playing with the kids. It felt like we were going nonstop while they were here. We did a lot!

Kaylin also lost both of the teeth that were loose on the bottom. She wouldn't let us pull either one out. They just got so loose that she was able to basically push them out with her tongue.
After the nephews left, we went to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus in Fort Worth where we had great seats. We were only 6 rows back. Kaylin was in awe and Jonathan was just glad to eat the popcorn. The circus was about 2 1/2 hours with an intermission and Jonathan was pretty much done around intermission. It was a little too long for him. Especially when the only nap he had was on the drive there. Hopefully he will enjoy it more next time!
