Homecoming week done!  I can't believe it was Keaton's last one!  Because he's an officer, this last week was especially crazy for both of us (but mostly for him:).  He did a great job on his assembly video, it was so fun to watch.  After his date on Saturday, he and 29 others piled into our backyard and watched a big screen movie and ate s'mores.  So much fun.  I'm going to miss not having anyone to dote on for dances next year :(

Homecoming week this week!  Keaton is taking one of his cute officer friends.  I guess we'd better get working on a shirt, tie and corsage!  That is one great part about having all boys, dance attire is easy.  No modesty fights--haha!  I'm looking forward to helping cook scones at the Homecoming Powwow on Wednesday and then helping with the tailgate party before the football game on Friday.  Reliving my youth:)

A few friends and I are trying our hand at freezer meals this week.  I've done it before with my college roommate, Karina, and I really loved it.  Maybe because it's just more fun to cook with friends!  Here are the recipes that we're using...
