The weather outside is::::
It's so very cold.  On the school run this morning it was about 18 degrees and the drive was was mostly a sheet of ice.  I can't lie though.  I'm not thrilled about the super warm temperatures this coming up weekend because then when it's cold again, we'll have to readjust...


On the breakfast plate this morning::::
Naked blue machine, a coffee, and some blueberry oatmeal with banana.

As I look outside my window:::
It's sort of a gloomy day, and everything is just brown... 

Right now I am::::
Sitting at the kitchen table with the girls, typing this up and eating breakfast.

As I look around the house::::
The house is completely clean and I've already done the minor things this morning that needed to be done. The girls have their tea party and kitchen toys out in their playroom.  They took a break from playing to eat real brekky. I have a turkey breast tenderloin running under cold water in the kitchen sink as I type to thaw enough to put into the crockpot for dinner.

On today's to do list::::
Laundry....I have a small towel load in the washer that I'll have to dry, fold, and put away, as soon as it's done, and then tonight after dinner, I'll have the clothing from today to wash, dry, and put away but that's it.
Cleaning....
In the kitchen....Keeping up on dishes and cooking dinner.
In the living room....minor pick up as the day goes on.   
In the bathroom....I need to sweep and and steam mop the upstairs bathroom since I didn't do that last night.
Extra curriculars.....Sydney has dance tonight and Ben has wrestling
 

Currently reading::::
Game of Thrones.
  
On the TV today::::
I'm not really sure.  I think Peppa pig will be on at some point and maybe sometime tonight we'll play Super Smash Bros as a family.  I'll watch some vlogs too at some point, I'm sure.


On the menu this week::::
Monday - Honey mustard turkey breast tenderloin, veggies
Tuesday - Spring chicken with veggies
Wednesday - apple bourbon pork tenderloin
Thursday - Asparagus and goat cheese pasta 
Friday - Pancakes, eggs, and bacon
Saturday - 
Sunday - 


What I am creating at the moment::::
I'm currently doing a granny square bunting for my room and I want to come up with something for my mantle over my fire place.

New recipe I tried or want to try this week::::
Nigella Lawson's spring chicken recipe.  I'm going to try it this week as well as a delicious looking goat cheese pasta dish. I do love goat cheese.
Favorite photo from the camera::::
Took the kids to the Nelson Atkins Art Museum yesterday to see the Plains Indians display.  It was truly amazing, and while the kids got a little wild by the end of the trip, they even thoroughly enjoyed it.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

By
Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

By
This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
