winding down

And so, the day is winding down...chicken for dinner. I baked chocolate sugar cookies for an after school snack today...so good! Finished up the laundry today but still have lots to fold!

bacon and eggs

My hubby made bacon and eggs for everyone before he went to work this morning. How nice was that! Now time for coffee and I am ready for the day.

laundry day

It got up to 50 degrees today. The sun was shining all day! It was so pretty! Mostly a laundry day...and eating Halloween candy...more specifically, Reese's cups...my favorite! Dinner is leftover pasta with meat sauce. Washing sheets today..so I better go check the dryer and see if they're ready to be put back on the beds!

November

Ahhh yes! It is November! I am done with Halloween. Although it was pleasant, I'm over it. Bring on pumpkin pie and turkey and pilgrims and such!!! I am ready for the fireplace to glow and some good reading and some good baking! Yes!

warm today but grey skies all  day...did some  grocery shopping. forgot to buy liquid dish  soap, but at least I remembered the toilet  paper. ..tonight my son has gun safety at the sportsman's club with the Boy Scouts..

40 degrees this morning

40 degrees this morning. supposed to get to 80 degrees this afternoon. this kind of weather is pretty awesome...i guess kind of like living in the desert. soccer game this morning. i'm washing my son's soccer clothes as we speak. got up early on purpose because forgot to do it yesterday. not like i didn't have a whole week to do it..hahaha! Older son has bow and arrow training today. that will be awesome. i think i would like to learn myself. then, later, a lamb roast at my friends house, out in the country. yummy!

Chili on the stove

Today is an awesome day. First, my son's soccer game in the rain. I'm not being sarcastic...it was a different experience and it's nice to get out of your comfort zone...that's what makes "life experience". The temperature this morning was 44 degrees. After soccer, showers, then we cooked Wal Mart pizzas. Right now we have a fire going in our fireplace. It is absolutely beautiful! It's cold and wet outside. We haven't put the heat on yet...haven't needed it yet. The fire is making our living room so very cozy right now. I am loving it. Right now there is  a pot of chili simmering on my stove. We'll be eating soon! I don't know about you, but I like to eat my chili with either corn bread or Saltine crackers with butter. I put a bit of butter on the cracker, then a bit of chili on top of that and in my mouth it goes! Sooooo goooood!!
