Heart Home and School

Lazy Days

My husband has been off work all of this week, and we have taken a break from school.  The beginning of the week was pretty hectic, with doctor, dentist and eye appointments for everyone.  We also worked outside while the weather was warm.  Most of my garden has been turned over and is just waiting for my pea, lettuce,broccoli and carrot seeds.  The only problem is that the weather has dropped about 30 degrees and it is really windy out.  My poor middle son had a broken finger for almost two weeks before we realized it.  We knew that he hurt it, but he wasn't complaining very much about it.  My husband felt terrible because I had been saying we should bring him in and he disagreed.  Hopefully he heals quickly and doesn't miss too much of his baseball season. 

Now that the weather has turned we have really slowed down.  It is so much fun spending time with the hubby.  We really enjoy eachother's company.  The kids are getting a great dose of dad too.  Everytime it gets cold out I want to bake.  So, I have been going through a few of my new cook books and day dreaming.  I think tomorrow will be the day.  We are going to my inlaws for dinner and a bible study, which I am so looking forward to, so I can bring whatever I bake.  That gets it out from under my nose, so I don't eat like crazy.

Tonight I think I will get the house straightened up.  It really needs it, my vacuum is kind of on the fritz so I haven't been able to use it as often as I would like to.  The kids have been playing outside a lot, which I love, however I'm not to happy about all of the mud and dirt they bring in.  So the goal for tonight is floors, and possibly a bathroom or two.  Well, back to work
