Happy Homemaker Monday ~ Week 4

Hosted by Sandra at 'Diary of A Stay at Home Mom'

On my bedside table:
The Love Dare by Stephen and Alex Kendrick
Love As A Way Of Life by Gary Chapman


On my TV:
The kids are watching Ratatouille.

On the menu for tonight:

Believe it or not ... there is, as of yet, no menu planned for this week. Eek ! I just couldn't get motivated yesterday and then today ... well today lacked a bit of motivation as well. Rory is at a work seminar tonight. The kids and I are having eggs with grapes and raisin toast on the side !

On my To Do List:

• The car had another appointment with the mechanic. There were a few things they needed parts for that they couldn't fix last week. YEAH ... THAT WAS ON THE LIST LAST MONDAY TOO !!! I THINK MAYBE WE'RE FINALLY FINISHED.
• Start new devotional books with kids. Alia and I have done hers for today and I'll do Jono's with him before bed. I'll share the books with you later in the week. I just found them today and they are really neat. Aimed at 6-9 year olds !! I think they are going to be just what I was looking for !!
• Hang out with Toni. We went to the bookstore because she wanted to get "The Love Dare" I ended up getting a copy too. She also bought the movie Fireproof which we watched this afternoon. The acting left a bit a lot to be desired but the topic (marriage) and the story kept my interest ...
  

New Recipe I tried last week:

Asparagus Alfredo Pasta - one my Mom posted to the beans blog ...

In the craft basket:
A whole heap of knitting books that I got from the library. Seriously ... like 15 books !! I can't wait to try out a bunch of the patterns !!

Looking forward to:
MOVING INTO OUR NEW HOUSE !!!!
