The weather.....
It's so hot, but I'm looking forward to cooler temps later this week and Ben's birthday party should be wonderful! 



Right now I am....
EXHAUSTED!

Thinking....
I would love to get a little nap in but have so much to do around the house and crazy kids to play with.

On my reading pile....
I'm still working on Eleanor from a few weeks back.  Haven't really been doing much reading lately...

On my TV.....
Breaking Amish
Sisterwives
Just finished last night's Breaking Bad

On the menu for this week....
Easy meals as we continue to get adjusted to our crazy hectic schedule, and while Shawn is out of town.

Monday - Frozen Pizza 
Tuesday -  Spaghetti with meat sauce 
Wednesday - Potato and Broccoli egg casserole
Thursday - Taco Salad
Friday -  
Saturday - BBQ
Sunday - 

On my to do list....
Laundry
Dishes and kitchen clean up
Pick Ben up from school and help with homework
Get shelter reserved for Ben's birthday party
Figure out Ben's birthday cake

In the craft basket....
I'm dying to sew or crochet.  I need to get my hands in to my craft basket.  
  
Looking forward to this week....
Shawn coming home on Wednesday from Boston, figuring out what is going to happen with Rylie's mouth wound, working on our routine, and Ben's 6th Birthday party on Saturday.

Looking around the house....
Rylie is napping in her playpen and Sydney is watching the Fresh Beat Band on her iPad in her bed.  I have laundry that needs to be put away in a basket on the living room floor and dishes to be washed in the kitchen.

From the camera....
This picture is from Sydney's first day of Preschool.


On my prayer list.....
My husband who is traveling this week.  Myself, as I need the strength to get through these next couple of weeks.  Everything is happening all at once for our family (husband traveling for work, school starting, extra curricular activities, birthday parties, etc) and to top it off my girls refuse to sleep so I'm hardly sleeping at all on top of running all day long.

Bible verse, Devotional....
Trust in the Lord forever! For the Lord is an eternal Rock.  ~ Isaiah 26:4

AHHH first day of preschool. How stressful. I remember when my boys were droppe doff for preschool. It is so hard to do, but I know it was the best thing. I just couldn't get over how quiet the house was!
I hope you have a blessed week. Your menu looks great and I would love to see you recipe for Potato and broccoli casserole!

I like simple menus on busy weeks...which seem to be what my life has consisted of for months now LOL

Hope you have a good week and especially hope your girls start sleeping so you can get some rest.

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

By
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...
