Happy Homemaker Monday


The weather.....
It's so hot, but I'm looking forward to cooler temps later this week and Ben's birthday party should be wonderful! 



Right now I am....
EXHAUSTED!

Thinking....
I would love to get a little nap in but have so much to do around the house and crazy kids to play with.

On my reading pile....
I'm still working on Eleanor from a few weeks back.  Haven't really been doing much reading lately...

On my TV.....
Breaking Amish
Sisterwives
Just finished last night's Breaking Bad

Tuesday -  Spaghetti with meat sauce 
Wednesday - Potato and Broccoli egg casserole
Thursday - Taco Salad

On my to do list....

In the craft basket....
I'm dying to sew or crochet.  I need to get my hands in to my craft basket.  
  
Looking forward to this week....

Shawn coming home on Wednesday from Boston, figuring out what is going to happen with Rylie's mouth wound, working on our routine, and Ben's 6th Birthday party on Saturday.

Looking around the house....
Rylie is napping in her playpen and Sydney is watching the Fresh Beat Band on her iPad in her bed.  I have laundry that needs to be put away in a basket on the living room floor and dishes to be washed in the kitchen.

From the camera....
This picture is from Sydney's first day of Preschool.



On my prayer list.....
My husband who is traveling this week.  Myself, as I need the strength to get through these next couple of weeks.  Everything is happening all at once for our family (husband traveling for work, school starting, extra curricular activities, birthday parties, etc) and to top it off my girls refuse to sleep so I'm hardly sleeping at all on top of running all day long.

Bible verse, Devotional....
Trust in the Lord forever! For the Lord is an eternal Rock.  ~ Isaiah 26:4

AHHH first day of preschool. How stressful. I remember when my boys were droppe doff for preschool. It is so hard to do, but I know it was the best thing. I just couldn't get over how quiet the house was!
I hope you have a blessed week. Your menu looks great and I would love to see you recipe for Potato and broccoli casserole!

Hope you have a good week and especially hope your girls start sleeping so you can get some rest.
