Happy Homemaker Monday and Happy Birthday Ben! (April 2, 2018)

Happy April 2nd everyone! Today is a special day in our household as today is Benjamin's 6th birthday! He is our Star Wars and Thomas the Train loving, very opinionated, always laughing and being silly kiddo. I can't believe he is 6 already. Seems like just yesterday he was born! 

Today is also my kiddos' last day of Spring Break. We just kind of hung out around here this morning. The kids played with their toys and watched some TV. I worked on some laundry and exercised. Then it was off to McDonald's for the birthday boy's lunch request. We had a small party for him on Saturday so today is just being kept low key. After all, it is a Monday and we are trying to get geared up to get back into routines of work and school tomorrow. 

So for now, let's join in with the lovely Sandra over at 

Diary of a Stay at Home Mom and her "Happy Homemaker Monday" series.

Currently reading::::

I got so much reading done last week-- it was rainy most of the week and perfect for reading during downtime. I am currently reading "Restore" by Vince Antonucci-- I will be honest and say I am struggling reading this as it is very "preachy".   

On the TV this week::::

Baseball season has started... so I have been watching the Indians. I am currently watching a series called "Yellowstone Thaw." I love nature documentaries. 

The weather outside is::::

Can we just say that Mother Nature has a sense of humor?

We woke up to 2-3 inches of fluffy snow on the ground and then it is supposed to be 70 degrees tomorrow. Craziness.  

On the menu this week:::
