Happy Monday Friends ~
I can't believe how fast this month is flying by! I hope you had a lovely weekend. It was a great one here. Got a lot done around home. My Mom has been doing better and able to be even more independent with things around her home, so I had more time to spend here. I went out with one of my besties for a bite and to see the Isn't It Romantic movie with Rebel Wilson. It was goofy and funny and just cute. It was so great to catch up with her and just have one of those great heart-to-hearts.
The kiddos are on break this week from school (their school does a February break and a Spring break in April). So Annie and I were already running around this morning and then went to bring some things to my Mom. On to the rest of the fun/busy week ahead...
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS:
Today it's about 15 degrees and sunny. This week looks like 20's and 30's and clear other then Wednesday chance of getting several inches of snow again
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE THIS MORNING
orange cinnamon rolls for special with the kids off school (and coffee for me)
RIGHT NOW I AM:
listening to Celtic harp music (very meditative) on my airpods while I work on this
AS I LOOK OUTSIDE MY WINDOW
I'm actually hanging out in the bedroom as my laptop happened to be in here. Lots of nice sunlight coming in as we have a wall of windows in this room. Lots of birch trees on this side of the house and I'm watching the squirrels jump from tree to tree
AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE
Annie's art stuff lying around, need to load more dishes, some of the other usuals but overall things are tidy and bright ;)
ON THIS WEEK'S TO DO LIST:
Lots of the usual errands as well as going to help my Mom with a trip she needs to take this week to pick up some things. We'll go out to lunch with her then too. Annie has an ortho appt for her retainer follow up, Ruby has an appt at the vet, religious ed for Annie, work on wedding gift I'm making for my cousin, make hair appts for Annie and I, run around to shop for bday presents for one of Annie's BFF's. She has a party this weekend

FROM THE CAMERA
The kiddos home from school this week is a fun excuse for naughty cinnamon roll breakfast ;)
I haven't pulled out Spring decorations yet, but I did pick this little cutie up the other day at Michaels. Don't you just want to sit and have some tea served in flower petals with the fairies?
And this is random, but I saw this on pinterest and doesn't it look like something yummy for a snack or quick breakfast? I think my kiddos would love them. Except it would have to be honey nut cheerios
