The weather outside is::::
Cold!!! It's about 5 degrees right now, but the windchill is -8.  




On the breakfast plate this morning::::
I've not had anything yet.  I'm thinking about a bowl of oatmeal with some banana, a coffee, and some green machine.
As I look outside my window:::
It just looks cold.  The ground is coated in frost and a tiny bit of snow. If only I didn't have to leave the house today.
Right now I am::::
Snuggled up on my couch, watching the Today show, and just trying to keep warm.  Typing up this blog post and dreaming about coffee.

As I look around the house::::
The house is pretty well taken care of although Scotland did just dump her tote of diaper wipe packages and diaper cream all over my living room.  Sydney is laying on the chair on her iPad watching the Office.  Rylie is still asleep upstairs in her room and I can hear Maya snoring in the kitchen.  
On today's to do list::::
Laundry....I'm going to throw a load of diapers in the washer in a minute or two and then I'll have a load of clothing tonight.
Cleaning....In the kitchen....I need to unload the dishwasher and put the dirty glasses from the sink in the dishwasher.
In the living room....I have a blanket to fold, and some pillows to throw back on the couches. Some wipes and diaper cream to pick up, and some wii controllers to pick up as well.
In the bedrooms....Beds need to be made and the kids room needs a little picking up. 
In the bathrooms....I washed them yesterday, so just a cleaning of the shower this evening.
Sydney's Dance
Ben's Wrestling


Currently reading::::
Game Of Thrones and Becoming Laura Ingalls Wilder still.

On the TV today::::
Some vlogs, Miranda (which I'm almost through with but super obsessed) and I promised Sydney we'd start Parenthood over together.  We are so sad it's over and she hasn't seen it from the

Wednesday - Chicken chow mein 
Thursday - Tacos with rice and beans
Friday - Chicken Curry and rice
Saturday -
Sunday - 


What I am creating at the moment::::
I haven't made any progress on my bunting, but maybe this week!

New recipe I tried or want to try this week::::
I bought a couple of kid friendly recipe books this weekend that I'm so super excited about.  They are for cooking with small children and quick and easy family cooking.  Two recipes on my meal plan this week, chicken chow mein, and chicken curry and rice, are from the Children's quick and easy cookbook.  Also, this weekend, Shawn took me out shopping and I went into a extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar store.  I bought these amazing oils and vinegars.  I'm talking balsamic vinegar I could just drink from a cup.  I'm so excited to use that on my bloody good steak recipe.  I think the great quality in the vinegar will improve an already great dish.

Favorite photo from the camera::::



Prayers, Inspirational Quotes or Devotionals::::
This one is actually for my husband today.  My family and especially my husband could use some prayers right now.

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

By
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...

Petty

By
This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
