Happy Homemaker Monday

By
 happyhomemakermonday

The weather:::
It's been so hot... I don't like the temperatures in the 100s.  I'm definitely over the heat but I think it's only supposed to get to 90 degrees or so today.


Right now I am:::
Sitting in the kitchen at the counter typing up this post.  The kids are all downstairs in the living room watching Raven's House.  The girls have seen it several times, but this is Ben's first time watching it.

On my reading pile:::
I'm currently reading After You by Jojo Moyes. I read Me Before You last week and am cruising through this one.  I have The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware lined up to read next.

Movies or Shows I watched this weekend:::
The girls and I watched Descendants 2 and Raven's House on Friday night. Shawn and I watched Game of Thrones last night.  Other than that we didn't watch a whole lot.

On my TV:::
This week is Shark week so we have lots of Discovery channel on.
I'm wanting to start Ozark this week
I need to finish this season of The Ranch.

 On the menu for this week:::

Monday 
Beef and Broccoli with Rice

Tuesday 
Fettuccini Alfredo with homemade bread
   
Wednesday 
Bangers and mash with green veggies

Thursday 
May grab something as Shawn has a softball tournament 
 
Friday  
Taco Soup with corn chips
   
Saturday 
At my nephew's birthday party

Sunday 


On my to do list:::
Kitchen......Pick up kitchen counters (Ben will keep up on dishes and Sydney will do the floor.)
Laundry.....Fold the laundry and wash the one load.
House...... (Ben will wipe down bathrooms, Sydney will vacuum living rooms and Rylie will dust.)

Kids doing chores has been amazing!

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I haven't done much of anything lately. Ben wants to get into Cosplay a little bit, so I may start looking into how to make his costumes. I'd also like to jump back into my crochet blanket.

Looking around the house:::
It's really quite clean. We've been doing well at keeping it clean with the kids helping out.

From the camera:::
Since my birthday is during the summer when the kids aren't at school, we like to celebrate my birthday away from home. If we were at home, I'd spend the day doing housework as well mommies and wives tend to do. Usually we are away on vacation but this year we repaired and painted our back deck which left little money for a big vacation so we decided to do a couple of day trips. We decided to see things here in Kansas we've never seen before. We went to the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, the Wizard of Oz museum in Wamego, and the Dwight D Eisenhower museum, library and childhood home.



What I'm wearing today:::
I'm wearing a pair of denim shorts and my courage t-shirt I got at the Wizard of Oz museum. For the moment we are just around the house so I'm also wearing my sparkly ruby red house slippers.

One of my simple pleasures:::
Sitting outside watching the birds eat from their feeder and splash around in the bird bath the kids and I made for Shawn for father's day.

Inspirational Quote, Bible verse, anything you want to share:::

Happy Summer Birthday! What a great photo. We've never been to the Wizard of Oz museum of the Eisenhower Library but we did go to the Cosmosphere many years ago and I remember it being a really neat place to visit. Hope you have a wonderful 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...

Happy Homemaker Monday

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...
