Happy Homemaker Monday

Good morning! Is anyone else as tired as I am? Good grief! I need a weekend to recover from my weekend. 



The weather outside is::::
It's chilly this morning, but it's supposed to get beautiful later today.  The first half of our week actually looks amazing.

On the breakfast plate this morning::::
Just coffee so far. I'm really thinking about a bagel though. 

As I look outside my window:::
It's so beautiful! The sun is out, the skies are blue, the grass is green, and SPRING IS HERE!

Right now I am::::
Trying to type this post at the kitchen table, but I have a wild Scotland in my lap, and she seems to think she should be typing this post instead. Harley keeps walking in between my feet, rubbing against my ankles.
....................
Ok, I've moved upstairs to my bedroom with the girls.  

As I look around the house::::
I have a basket of laundry in the living room begging to be folded and folded clothes piled on the ottoman in need of being put away.  The kitchen sink is full of dirty dishes.  I was lazy last night after dinner and didn't do dishes. Honestly, I had a load of dishes in the wash that I was waiting to finish first and then it was late. Other than that, the house is nice and picked up, just begging for the kids to trash it.

 Rylie and Sydney are laying on the floor of my room, playing Minecraft together, Scotland is tearing all of her pajamas out of her pajama drawer. Shawn is working in the office, and because he's on calls we are hiding out upstairs.

On today's to do list::::
Laundry
Dishes
Meal planning 
Run to Walmart for Syd's baby picture print for school tomorrow
Pick Sydney's art for her school art fair
Pick up new soccer cleats for Sydney and get Rylie everything she needs for soccer this weekend.
Email Ben's coach about his team schedule (The games start Saturday and we have no idea what time!) 
Finish Sydney's dance recital paperwork
Finish Sydney's Kindergarten Roundup paperwork for Friday.
Order from Ben's art fundraiser
Sydney's Dance class 
Shawn's basketball
Try to fit in the gym if possible

Currently reading::::
Hoping to read some Game of Thrones

On the TV today::::
Shawn and I finally started watching True Detective.  I'm so mad I fell asleep during an episode last night, so I have to go back and rewatch the end of that one.  If you haven't watched it and you like crime dramas, or Matthew McConaughey, you should definitely watch it, on HBO Go.  

On the menu this week::::
Working on my meal plan currently. The hubs has enjoyed helping with the meal plan actually.  We've been cooking together a lot since he's started working at home. Yesterday he sat down with a cookbook and came up with 3 sides to go with steaks that we made together that were amazing!  I'm hoping to get several recipes up this week, including Shawn's amazing steak recipe!

 I do know that Friday evening, I'm having sushi or shrimp hibachi since it's a Friday during lent.  Usually when doing the meal plan, I space that out but come Friday and I can't have meat, we grab sushi for dinner.  


What I am creating at the moment::::
Right now, I'm creating Scotland's 1st birthday party. She turns 1 on the 16th and we are doing a party at home for her, but we have a very large immediate family, as well as some extended family and friends that feel like immediate family with how close we are.  I'm doing a lot of hot glueing fake flowers to things as well as praying for nice weather and creating an outside oasis.


Favorite photo from the camera::::
We spent a few hours outside yesterday, cleaning up dog poo, mowing, pulling dead grass and leaves and plants, dumping out the old plant graveyard, and then playing in the yard.  I'm ready for spring and am hoping to start planting flowers this week!
 


Prayers, Inspirational Quotes or Devotionals::::



Sorry, I seemed to have a lot to say this morning...  Time to do a real blog update I think.  Alright, laundry is calling to me.  Hope you all have a nice week.

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...
