It's a Wednesday that feels like a Thursday because our kiddos get a four day weekend!
Woohoo!
Thank you no weather days for creating such a lovely long weekend. Only four more days left of school...which basically means, only eight more lunches left to make for the year. I don't know about you...but the lunch making and me need a break. See you next fall PB&J!
Okay, the last Wednesday of every month, Mel , Sheaffer and I host our What's Up Wednesday linky party, so if you blogged this today too, don't forget to link up at the bottom! Also, Sheaffer is on a hiatus as she recaps The Bachelorette on Wednesdays during the show. Um, I love Jojo. Love. Her. Click over to read the recap! #teamjordan
Here's what I'm up to this Wednesday...
1. What we're eating this week...
Well, you can see what we're eating on my weekly Meal Planning Monday. This week, it's recipes like Crispy Shrimp Tacos, Buffalo Chicken Paninis and Green Chile Turkey over Quinoa just to name a few. Plus today, I'm sharing...
...my Memorial Day Menu! From appetizers to burgers and desserts too, I have your Memorial Day weekend covered! See it all here.

3. What I'm loving...
I'm pretty sure Andrew thinks I have Downton Abbey addiction issues. I told you guys last week, but I just started binge watching this show and basically this sums me up...

4. What we've been up to...
...then we're here...
Swimming and bike riding have been what we've been up to lately. We can all bike ride together now (which is so much fun!)...and it's not 105 degrees yet, so we're taking advantage of all of that.

6. What I'm working on...
A good chore system for the summer! We are going to be relaxed and lazy this summer...but at the same time, we are going to remember that our dirty laundry goes in the hamper and that the toilet must always be flushed. #livingwithkids
Together, the kids and I came up with some great chores (I mean...is flushing the toilet every time really a chore? Probably not...and yet, I feel like it needs to be included on this list because IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN.) and some fun rewards (stay up 30 minutes later, swim past your bedtime, go get snow cones, etc.). The kids helped me pick a good place for their new chore chart and we're going to attempt to stay motivated this summer. I'll try and do a post on this soon!

7. What I'm excited about...
Baby Lowe is coming this summer!! We're all super pumped about this new addition. Since they don't know...we're all guessing the baby's gender and will wear that color to the hospital the day he/she is born. As of today, I'm wearing pink. I don't know why...but I'm thinking girl! (To be fair, I thought Kensington was a boy and Smith was a girl...so basically, I'm never right and this baby is most likely a boy!) Before we scheduled our family vacation, we double checked our dates to make sure we didn't miss the birth...but the closer we get, the more nervous I get! Let's all pray Baby Lowe doesn't arrive really early...because the Shull five would be so bummed!
8. What I'm watching/reading...
Duh. Downton Abbey.

10. What I'm wearing...
I brought these two tops to Boston and loved them both! They both work great for transitional weather because you can just throw a light jacket over them for an extra layer...

Please excuse my packing...but I wanted you to see the top I wore on the plane on day one. It's great because it doesn't wrinkle...and when you get off a plane and go, you don't want to be all wrinkly! I put it on with my new Hinge military jacket (which is light and perfect!) and off I went!
Plus, I've showed you this top before (it comes in four other colors) and I still love it!
11. What I'm doing this weekend...
All sorts of fun Memorial Day stuff! Weather permitting...lots of swimming and being with friends and family!

12. What I'm looking forward to next month...
This girl turns FOUR! We have been talking about her birthday for six months now. I'm pretty sure she picked the theme before Christmas. We can't wait to celebrate with sweet Ashby!
13. What else is new...
Did I mention that I was watching Downton Abbey? Because I am.
