Welcome back to another Happy Homemaker Monday!
I'm joining Sandra again over at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
The weather....WE HAVE SUNSHINE!!!! Birds are chirping, flowers are perking up, and the dog is chasing her ball. I forgot what that big, yellow ball in the sky was. After a full week of rain, flooding, and dreary gray skies, we have some sun. It's beautiful. I was beginning to go a little crazy with all the rain and gloom. I need my sunshine.
What's going on....We have officially completed 3 subjects. The kiddos are done with English grammar, spelling, and religion. Therese has finished up her math, but is starting on the next grade level so she can catch up. I am so proud of all the hard work she has been doing. We have a 3 weeks of school left and then we are on summer break. I can't wait!
I have all the lessons done for next year. I've purchased half of our books and plan to buy the rest within the next few weeks. I have bags ready to go to our local thrift store for donations. I'm pricing books and getting ready to sell our old books. I can't believe how many books we've accumulated over the years.
Gardening.... I have our tomato and pepper plants in. I've got my herbs growing and will hopefully have some lettuce soon. The flowers are done and all we need to do now is create a cute, little fairy garden. Therese and I need to head to the store to get a few more plants to make it special.
On the to do list this week... Laundry. I'm actually caught up, so as long as I stay on top of it from this point out I'll be good. The kids have their Founding Fathers class. We need to head to the library and I need to go get my nails done (my one true luxury). I also need to drop off the bags for donation.
What's for dinner....
Sunday~ Sweet Italian sausage and eggplant
Monday~ Meatballs, pasta, cheesy bread, and salad
Tuesday~ Instant Pot crack chicken and asparagus
Wednesday~ Beef and broccoli
Thursday~ Pizza casserole
Friday~ Tuna salad lettuce wraps
Saturday~ Buffalo Chicken Meatballs with salad
What I'm reading...
Last Christmas in Paris: A Novel of World War I by Hazel Gaynor. I'm almost done with this book and have enjoyed it immensely.
TV...
I have to admit I didn't watch any of the coverage on the Royal wedding. I swear it feels like I'm the only person out there who really just didn't care.
What I'm praying for...
The students and families affected by the shooting in Texas.
Picture of the week....
Me dreaming of when my rose bush will bloom.
Till Next Time,
Monique
Glad you're seeing the sun! WOW you have been busy getting ready for next school year, gardening, donations... I hope the rest of your week is WONDERFUL!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading your HHM post this week. Sounds like you've been busy! I'm hoping to go garden plant shopping tomorrow so hubby can get our garden in. If we don't do it soon it's going to be too late! Your menus look great and I love the pink rose! Have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty pink rose. Laundry is always on my list although my husband helps out with it as well (just have to be careful with "special" clothes as he's a all in the washer/all in the dryer laundry helper). Hope you're having a great weekend!
