A nice week

We have had a great week so far.  It's been busy though.  Monday was our slow day.  For people that think stay at home mom's don't work, they are so wrong.  I work my little hiney off around the house and even though I'm no longer working outside of the home, I have to keep a day planner.  My mom actually got a great one for me for Christmas last year.  I love it and don't know what I'll do when the year is done.  I guess I'll have to ask her where she got this one at.





















I do the best I can to write down everything, from appointments and activities, to walks (mileage), dinners (for left over purposes) and crafts.

Here's an example of my week.  The example is actually this week as of tonight (Thursday night).




















Tuesday night, we ate dinner with friends.  I brought a salad and was inspired to try my own dressing.  It turned out amazing by the way.  I was so excited about it.  I've never made salad dressing before.  I can't believe I hadn't because it was so easy!  I'll post the recipe tomorrow.

Wednesday, we went with Shawn to basketball and ran into some friends.  It's funny because I'd only met Ben in person but talked to his wife, Meagan, a lot on the computer and follow her blog.  It was so nice to actually meet her in person.  She has two precious little boys.  My Ben told me, when we came home, that he liked playing with Asher (Meagan's son who is 3.)  This means a lot to me.  Ben's language isn't very good.  He's getting better really fast, but for so long his vocabulary was quite small and he has a hard time with a lot of letters.  When he plays, he tends to gravitate towards little girls, I'm guessing because they seem more tolerant of his language problems.  He likes to play with other boys too, but often the boys don't acknowledge him because he doesn't really talk back to them well, conversationally.  Asher was very friendly though and seemed to play well with Ben.

Here's my kids at the park and basketball courts:
























She makes me laugh because she sucks on the bottom of her dress or skirt all the time.  It's not very lady like to lift up your dress.


































 
Tonight, Shawn and a friend of his started playing a weekly game at our house.  I made them dinner.  I really enjoy cooking for other people.  I hope he enjoyed it.  My mom gave me an amazing recipe for easy chicken enchiladas.  I'll post my beef enchilada recipe and mom's chicken enchilada recipe tomorrow.

The best part of this week is that we've spent so much time together as a family.  We are finally getting into the swing of things at the new house and with our new lives.  It makes life really enjoyable to spend time together with the kids.  I hope that this continues on.

Finally, I like to coordinate the kids outfits whenever possible.  Often it's done by color, but today, was even better.  Ben wore his Greatest Big Brother outfit and Sydney looked so cute in her Little Sister onsie.  I couldn't resist taking pictures of the two of them together.

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

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...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
