Happy Homemaker Monday

Jeeze, I think weekends need one more day!  We had one of the best weekends in a really long time.  No stress and lots of fun, but now I need a day to rest and recover.


The weather outside is::::
A smidge chilly, although it will be warming up today to about 50.

 

On the breakfast plate this morning::::
A peppermint mocha, almond croissant, and a banana and strawberry fruit pouch.

As I look outside my window:::
The sun is shining and I can see the Christmas lights on the house and our tree out front.  Everything is damp and soggy, so I dare not go out there.

Right now I am::::
Sitting on the couch next to a sleeping Scotland, while the kids lay on the other couch and chair, watching Peppa Pig. 

As I look around the house::::
I have a load of laundry in the dryer to fold and one in a basket waiting for me to fold as well.  There are a couple of dishes in the sink that need a good hand washing and I can hear the dishwasher running now.  I've already gone grocery shopping, this morning, for the week, so our cabinets and fridge are full.  The house is clean as we did a pick up, vacuuming, sweeping, steam mopping, and bathroom cleaning last night.  All I have left to do is vacuum upstairs.  It's really nice to have the house ready to go for the week come Monday morning.

On today's to do list::::
Laundry....I have about 2 loads to fold and put away
Dishes.... I have a few to hand wash and will soon have a dishwasher to unload.
Vacuum... The upstairs needs a good vacuuming.
Errands.... I need to make a run to the milk store and a trip to Walmart to pick up the pictures that I had printed.
Cooking.... I need to put some chicken and a can of rotel in the crockpot so I can make easy chicken enchiladas for dinner tonight.
Dance.... Sydney has dance at 5:30
Wrestling.... Ben has wrestling at 6:00

Currently reading::::
I'm reading Game of Thrones by George RR Martin currently as well as Sippy Cups Are Not For Chardonnay by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor 
On the TV today::::

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...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
