Happy Homemaker Monday (4/24/2017)

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend. We spent some time on Saturday hiking around a local park in honor of Earth Day. Then we spent some time with my parents before heading back to town for dinner. Unfortunately Rebecca began to feel ill as we were heading to dinner. She had an upset stomach and a low fever all day Sunday as well. Last night Jacob also came down with a temperature. I am keeping them both home from school today so hopefully they will go back tomorrow. I am exhausted as the cats woke me up at 3:30 this morning fighting and meowing. They are still being brats even now. It is going to be a long day!  

For now let's join in with the lovely Sandra over at "Diary of a Stay at Home Mom" in her Happy Homemaker Monday meme:

THE WEATHER:::
It is partly sunny today with highs around 73. Supposed to be in the 70s most of this week with Wednesday being in the low 80s. Overall, I can't complain about the weather.  

ON MY READING PILE:::
I picked up Debbie Macomber's new book "If Not for You" at the library on Thursday. I have until Wednesday to read it and return it as it was in the "Rapid Reads" section- where you can borrow new releases for 1 week with no renewal allowed.

ON MY TV:::

On Friday nights, we typically do pizza and a movie for the kids. This year I would like to try to remember what movies we have watched, so I will be recapping here.

This past Friday night, we watched "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." Rebecca has read the books and so when I saw this at the library I knew she would want to see it. We have also had the NBA playoffs on as well as some baseball, and LOTS of cartoons! LOL  

ON THE MENU FOR THIS WEEK:::

MONDAY: fish sandwiches, carrots, green beans 
TUESDAY: Low carb chicken tenders (new recipe), corn, salad

WEDNESDAY: ham and cheese tortilla rollups, sliced cucumbers and tomatoes, chips

THURSDAY: bratwurst, macaroni and cheese, broccoli

FRIDAY: pizza grilled cheese, salad and fruit

SATURDAY: ????
SUNDAY: ????

I am hoping to be able to go to the grocery store tomorrow, but if the kids are still sick I don't really NEED to go until Wednesday morning.

ON MY TO-DO LIST FOR THIS WEEK:::
Monday: Ben speech and OT, tutor, trash and recycling to curb

Tuesday: kids to school, grocery store,  tutor

Wednesday: kids to school, tutor

Thursday: kids to school, tutor

Friday: kids to school 
Saturday:

Sunday: PSR, church

And each day has the daily housework that needs to be done!

I also need to do the following this week:
Call and make Ben his 5 year physical appointment
Do Ben's kindergarten registration online
Email Rebecca's AHG leader her service hours
Summer Tutoring ad for Facebook
Call to make Jacob an eye doctor appointment
Clean both bathrooms
Mop all floors with Thieves EO
Rough Draft of Summer chore charts for the kids

LOOKING AROUND THE HOUSE:::

It doesn't look too bad. Yesterday I spent a lot of the day on laundry and the kids don't have very many toys out.  

FROM THE CAMERA:::

So there you have it. A little peek into my life on this sleepy Monday. Hope everyone has had a great day and let's see what the rest of this week will bring!
