September went smoothly for us. Though my kids aren’t excited about it, we’re back in the flow of doing school. While they aren’t thrilled about completing their schoolwork, they are excited that we recently joined a homeschool group. In the coming months, we’ll have ample opportunities to engage in activities they love, such as field trips and park playdates.
Despite our daytime highs being in the 90s, I’m ready for soups and casseroles. Unfortunately, my kids generally aren’t fans of either of these. I’m hoping my older girls’ recent willingness to try new dishes extends to the soups and casseroles I’ll make this month. We’ll soon find out! You can see this month’s dinner menu below and past menus here.
