Hello and happy Friday!
I hope you’ve had a great week!
As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea for this week’s Friday Favorites.
Like last week, I’m sharing my photos for Erika and Shay‘s September Photo Challenge.
Here are some favorites from the week:
September 8: In your town
Friday night lights were happening last Friday. We went to my school’s Homecoming football game. The weather felt like fall, so that was definitely a favorite.
September 9: Nature
Nothing says “cross country meet” like tons of hay bales!
Hayden had his first 4k race of the season, and placed 3rd. The weather was perfect for running…or so I’ve been told 😉
September 10: Letter A
Honestly, I wasn’t sure what I was going to share for this one, but after putting out my fall decorations, I had to make a trip to Michael’s. I saw my favorite Ashland light up pumpkin (I have two!)…and they were on sale.
September 11: Thankful for
My slow cooker, so dinner would be ready after all our evening activities.
September 12: Leaves
I’m loving how my mantle turned out this year!
September 13: 5 things
I shared this pic from the weekend. After Hayden’s cross country meet, he and I went to Hobby Lobby (he was thrilled…haha)…but then he spotted a Crumbl Cookie, so I said we could stop in there.
We got six total cookies, but five different flavors. They were pretty good.
September 14: Window view
I snapped this pic right before I headed out to bus duty.
Other Faves:
Long story short, Hayden’s friend was playing in the middle school regional golf tournament, and he needed a few more kids to make the foursome.
Hayden had fun on Sunday playing nine holes in the tournament.
I really showed restraint at Hobby Lobby, but I came home with a few pumpkins and a new fall coffee mug.
On Wednesday, Hadley and crew showed up and showed out in pink for 8th grade night for a couple of her friends who play basketball. Hayden and his friends were there too…some of them even wore pink!
Favorite Mom Meme:
The other night at dinner, Hayden inhaled a bowl of soup and went back for more. On his way to the stove, he grabbed a granola bar out of the cabinet and ate it before heading back to the table with another bowl of soup.
These kids stay hungry!
Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:
I love this sweet moment from 2012.
What I wouldn’t give to go back in time for a bit…
Weekly Recap:
Here are my posts from the week. I wrote about a little bit of everything!
What are your weekend plans? Hayden has a race, and there’s a home UK game. I hope to enjoy some downtime, have some time to read, and cross some things off my to do list.
I hope you have a great weekend.

Autumn is so fun in your lovely part of the world with all the decor and upcoming festivities. I laughed at the meme because it is so true!

I wasn’t planning on decorating yet but I’m glad that I did. I love fall around here 🙂

Love seeing these photos from the week.
My boys often eat snacks while preparing or cleaning up from meals: chips and Jell-O and often even a granola bar while toasting a bagel or like last night when we finished eating dinner of chicken parm. with pasta and salad and all 3 of them grabbed 2 snacks on their way to drop their dishes in the sink!

I’ve definitely started having to buy double of certain things! My kids probably snack too much but then I can’t complain because they do still eat dinner haha

Yes, I used to worry about that too but they always seem to have plenty of room for “real” food so I’ve just let it go.

Fun prompts for you this week! I put out my apple decor but now I want to do pumpkins because I’m “influenced”. I hope you have a good weekend! We have Mason’s stuff all laid out and just have to put it in the space bags and pack efficiently. Eek! I will be nervous until I see he made it safely to his college.

Oh my goodness! The amount of food these kids eat! There are some days that Jack has 2nd breakfast AND 2nd dinner! They are definitely growing! I love those pumpkins, all of them. I bought an Ashland pumpkin a few years ago when you first shared it and those new pumpkins are so cute. I hope you had a great weekend!

Very satisfying when your kids eat the food, even with snacks 🙂 I think I need to start stocking up on some quick substantial things for my kids to make. I remember I used to eat pizza pockets from the microwave.
