Update on Fall Goals

 
1. Finish all of our Christmas Shopping by November 30th. I used to live by this rule and enjoyed the Holiday Season a lot more.


A few presents were bought after but for the most part this was attained.  Everything was even wrapped a week before Christmas.  Yes!
 
 
 
2. Have Christmas Cards ready to order by November 15th.

Not by the 15th :(  They are currently done but not sent out.  We have been battling strep and the flu at our house.  Some peoples will be mailed late and others will be hand delivered.  Such is life.
 
 
 
3. Make a new pumpkin recipe.

We bought pumpkin noodles at at the pumpkin patch this year.  We cooked them in chicken broth just like normal homemade noodles.  They were AMAZING....this will definitely be on the fall purchase list.  I am getting tired of pumpkin spice this and that, so after a container of pumpkin spice creamer and a couple of pumpkin pies I was ready to move on.
 
 
 
4. Have Doug go with us to the Pumpkin Patch this year. It has been a few years since he has been able to go, and he LOVES the pumpkin ice cream and the bakery. In his defense, he is a farmer. Fall does not usually leave time for frivolous activities like pumpkin patches. We will visit the bakery for him if he doesn't get to go....love our Farmer :)

He made it this year...Yes!


 
5. Make Lucy a scarf and ear muffs before Oct 15th. Finish up Madison's scarf and ear muffs as well.

Madison's got done but now she wants some buttons sown on for decoration (still sitting there waiting) and Lucy's scarf is done but I ran short on the yarn for her head wrap and haven't found a match yet....uggghhhh.



All in all I don't think I did too shabby on this season's list but have decided to not make a winter list.  What gets done does and what doesn't doesn't.  You will all understand my new year's philosophy when I reveal my "word" for 2015.  Are you doing a word for the New Year?

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...
