Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather outside is::::

Sunny and warm.  I think the high today is supposed to be 87! The wind is blowing super hard today though, so it wouldn't surprise me if it eventually blows something in.

On the breakfast plate this morning::::

   I'm currently finishing up my breakfast. I had a slice of pumpkin bread, a yogurt, and my coffee.

As I look outside my window:::

The sun is shining and it really doesn't feel like fall but it is starting to look like it, thanks to the cooler weather we've had off and on over the last week or so.

Right now I am::::

Sitting on the couch in the living room finishing up my breakfast. Last weeks episode of Modern Family is playing on my TV and I'm trying to quickly get this blogpost done since I have another post to do and more coffee to make my husband.

As I look around the house::::

The house is mostly picked up I just need to get a few things done, like laundry folding and dishes.  The girls are playing with baby dolls in their room, and actually getting along!  Excuse me, but that is somewhat monumental.

On today's to do list::::

Laundry....I have a load or two to wash and several loads to fold.
Kitchen....I need to finish loading the dishwasher and run it, then I need to sweep the kitchen floor and give the table, sink and counters a good ole scrubbing.
Dance....Sydney and Rylie both have dance and it's parent observation week so we need to get there nice and early.

Happening this week::::

What I am creating at the moment::::

Nothing at the moment, but do need to work on the banners for the girls room over their beds. Also, I'd like to pick up my yarn and crochet hook but need some inspiration first.  Also, I've started a video for my brother, who is away at basic training, that has all the big things, holidays, kids school performances, and sports things. My sister is also supposed to be getting me videos from her family so we can put them all together.  It will be a long several months between basic and then job training and we really don't want him to feel like he missed everything.

New recipe I tried or want to try this week::::

Nothing at the moment, but I will be scouring pinterest and blogs, because I really need some inspiration.

Favorite photo from the camera::::

This is not a photo I took, but one my brother sent me on snapchat, early this morning. He left for basic on Tuesday of last week and has been in reception ever since.  Today, he actually starts basic which meant that he lost his phone, so this is the last picture I have of him until he gets his phone back when he hopefully gets to come home for Christmas. Look at that handsome young man!
