Lazy Days

Well yesterday, I completely missed the Happy Homemaker Monday post... I wish I could say that it's because I was so busy or doing something really exciting, but it was out of pure laziness.  My laptop was upstairs and I just didn't want to walk up the stairs and carry it back down.  Pathetic, I know.  We just had a sort of lazy day.

The day started incredibly late for me.  Shawn sent me to bed at 9, Sunday night and yesterday morning Shawn worked from home and got up with Ben while the girls and I slept until my phone woke us all up around 9:30.  There is nothing like a little cereal to start the day.  Shawn brought home this blueberry frosted shredded wheat cereal and it is so good.


I spent much of the morning trying to get a little studying done.  I have a lot to do before the class starts at the end of August or beginning of September and with three kids, a husband, and a house to take care of, I don't necessarily get a lot of time for my things.


In the afternoon, we got some great news!


Yup, Chris and Morgan are having a girl.  I'm excited to have another niece, someone to pass on all my favorite clothes of Rylie's to and just to spoil rotten.

I made buttermilk pancakes and eggs for dinner.  I'll be posting the buttermilk pancake recipe shortly.  They were so rich, and amazing.  By far, the best pancakes I've ever made.


I also had some cute shirtless, apron-ed helpers.


After dinner, Shawn went to basketball.  I picked up the food and the house and then we went out there too.  It was so incredibly hot.  We were all sweating like crazy;


Sydney was wearing my sunglasses and she looked so funny.


Ben made a friend and he told me that he thought she was pretty.  He makes friends everywhere we go.



I had to add one of the boys playing basketball.  Look at how drenched in sweat Shawn is.


When we came home we put the kids to bed and then Shawn and I ate ice cream and watched Frasier while I crocheted.  I know, we are party animals.

Today, I'm trying to get all my work from today and yesterday done.  I have so much laundry to fold, it's ridiculous.  After I finish my snack, I'll get right to work.


What's everyone's plans for tomorrow, the 4th?

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...
