Happy Homemaker Monday

Happy Monday! Once again I am joining in with the lovely Sandra over at "Diary of a Stay at Home Mom" in her Happy Homemaker Monday meme.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I had a lovely one. On Saturday, we got to attend a fall party at our friends' horse farm. The party was for her riding clients, but we are almost like family so she invited us as well. The kids had a blast. Sunday, was the first Sunday for the kids' PSR classes and church. Then we just relaxed around the house watching the NFL interspersed with coverage of Hurricane Irma. My in-laws were unable to evacuate from their Florida home. The storm passed directly over them, with the eye going over their home around 3AM this morning. I talked to them this morning and they were safe, but were unsure of damage as they were not allowed outside due to continued threats of tornadoes and wind. Just thankful that they are safe. I have been meaning to get this post up earlier, but this is the first chance I have had to sit down. I started a new babysitting job today-- where I get to watch a 7 week old little girl and between that and stuff that I needed to get done for our home and for my tutoring clients this week, this is the first time for me to sit.

So with that being said, let's get to it....

  

THE WEATHER:::
Here I hate to say that our weather hasn't been too bad. It has been in the low 70s. I do think we are supposed to get some showers tomorrow night and into Wednesday and Thursday but nothing major.

LOOKING AROUND THE HOUSE:::

It looks really good now as everything is put away since the kids are in bed. I need to run the dishwasher still.  

FROM THE CAMERA:::  
Sunday, I ended up taking a nap. I woke up feeling like I was being watched. I looked down towards the bottom of the bed and this is what I saw:
