Happy Homemaker Monday

Happy Monday Friends 

I was busy this AM running Annie to get a tooth filled and brought her up to school. Ran some errands and accomplished some tasks around home. It's been a rain/snow mix on and off today. I'm always so much more awake on a sunny day so I'm trying to keep myself motivated on a gray non-motivating day ;)  

I hope you had a lovely weekend.  Our boy had his last prom over the weekend here. I still can't believe he'll be graduating in only a few months! Annie had a volleyball tourney and she got her new set of golf clubs. She was so excited! Now she doesn't need to use mine but I'm jealous of her new set. Lol  It's so nice and shiny and new. She spent some of the weekend practicing away on a golf mat out on the driveway.

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS:

RIGHT NOW I AM:

AS I LOOK OUTSIDE MY WINDOW

Looking at the gray and wet out the window- but the grass is starting to get so green, which is so nice to see ;) 

AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE

It's pretty tidy and cozy. I have a nice mug of tea steaming next to me and I can hear the wind chimes outside making pretty music out in the breeze. The dryer is tumbling and I just like to enjoy the "quiet" of the house like this sometimes

FROM THE CAMERA

We had an unfortunate mishap the end of last week. I had the umbrella up on the patio set and I hadn't closed it yet. And in the evening it had gotten a bit windier and a gust picked it up and it flew into one of our windows. Fortunately, it only cracked the outer pane of glass

Last prom for my sweet boy and his girlfriend of 2 &1/2 years

And my sweet girl working on her golf game every day ;) 

I brought some dinner and snickerdoodle cookies I had made to my Mom over the weekend. On the drive home the sunset made the sky so pretty
