This weekend flew by so quickly!  Shawn left for a work trip yesterday morning and won't be back until Friday night so I'm hoping that the week will fly by as quickly as the weekend did.



The Weather:::
It is unbelievably cold! I think it's a whole 18 degrees right now.

Right now I am: 
Sitting on the couch, waiting for the groceries to get here.

Thinking:
The about the day and week ahead.  We've got a lot of fun stuff planned and I think I'm going to plan Shawn and my anniversary dinner for this weekend.          
On my reading pile:::
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

On my tv:::
Right now I'm watching Larry Crowne which is actually quite a cute movie.

Things that make me happy:::
The kids home from school, making lots, of noise and running around like crazy kiddos and the dog laying at my feet enjoying them as well.

On the menu for this week:::
Monday - Frozen Pizzas
Tuesday - Chicken and Potato Casserole
Wednesday - Taco John's for the kids school fund raiser
Thursday -  Something at the kids play place
Friday - Cowboy Casserole
Saturday -
Sunday -

On my to do list:::
Laundry

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Hoping to get back to work on my corner to corner blanket tonight.

Looking around the house:::
We got some tidying done this morning, so outside of the kids' playroom needing a serious cleaning, the house is in good shape.  Ben and Sydney are sitting at the table. Scotland is snuggled up to me and Rylie is laying on the couch watching Scottie's iPad with her.

From the camera:::

On my prayer list:::
My friend Emily who still hasn't had her baby yet.  I believe she's at 41 weeks and 3 days or so now. Also, my husband for safe travels this week.

Bible verse, devotional, favorite quote:::

Potato Soup

By
During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though.
