Happy Homemaker Monday



The Weather:::
I believe the high today was 40 degrees, but it actually feels warm, although it's supposed to be rainy today and it does look quite gloomy out.  According to the weather on our local station the temperature is supposed to drop and the rain is supposed to go away and just stay really cloudy.

Right now I am: 
Sitting at the kitchen table, drinking my coffee. 

Thinking:::
Rylie's Birthday!  It's coming up quite quickly and with kids class parties to prep for just a day or two before her birthday party, I need to get a move on. Thankfully Chuck E Cheese takes most of the work out of it.

Looking forward to:::
Bed time! Last night Scottie was up several times and it was a late night anyway.  Ugh!  

On my reading pile:::
Still reading Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. It's really good and I would definitely recommend it.

On my tv:::
I'm not sure what to watch today. I'm thinking about watching some vlogs and maybe if I have time, some Call The Midwife.

Things that make me happy:::
My husband being home!  He was gone all week last week and it was awful.  He's going out of town again next week, but thankfully for not as long.  I'm just glad to have him around this week.

On the menu for this week:::
Monday - Cowboy Casserole and roasted veg (I've been meaning to make this for the last couple of weeks but it keeps getting bumped)
Tuesday - Amish Easy Chicken Casserole
Wednesday - Homemade Pizza
Thursday - Savory Beef and Noodles 
Friday - Out for a late anniversary dinner?
Saturday -
Sunday -

On my to do list:::
Laundry
Dishes
Put in a grocery order
Prepare dinner so Shawn can throw it in the oven this evening while I'm out.
Sydney's Dance
Ben's clay class
Play ponies with Rylie (I promised)
Teach the kids about the water problem in Flint Michigan because tomorrow after school we are taking bottled water to a drop off donation center that will be driven up later this week.

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
Crochet corner to corner blanket
Decorations for Rylie's birthday party

Looking around the house:::
The house could use some tidying although most of that will have to happen later since the girls are playing in the mess in the living room.  When they get along, and the house is filled with laughter, it's the best feeling in the world.

From the camera:::
My corner to corner blanket that I've been working on.



On my prayer list:::
My family to hopefully get over this cold we've had since Thanksgiving. 
Rylie, to be able to go to school this week with no problems.  She had a pretty big panic attack last Thursday and I'm hoping since Shawn's back in town in won't happen again.

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.
