This week has flown by. Thursday mornings are always a challenge over here. The kids woke up grumpy, and no one wanted to get out of the house this morning. I got them all off to school, even though they wern’t happy about it. I hope that their day goes well.

It is quiet in the house for the moment, and I’m finally finishing my first cup of coffee. I have a few chores to get to this morning, but for the most part the Miss and I are going to chill today. She was up all last night, thankfully no tummy-ache, just didn’t want to sleep. I’m hoping we can catch a nap later this afternoon.

I’m trying to resist the urge to go shopping for everything Fall decorating. The weather is cool in the morning, and I really want to decorate the house. Must not shop though, must not shop. Maybe I’ll crochet a bit, and that will take my mind off of all of those cute pumpkins.

Miss Mia is excited and so am I. It is finally Autumn, and I’ve been waiting all summer for it. I’ve been getting out the cooler weather clothes, and cleaning out the summer shoes. I’m also spending the day in the kitchen cooking up some autumnal favorites.

I’ve got a few cakerdoodles left, a big pot of Chili bubbling away in the crock pot. Pie crust is chilling in the fridge, and waiting to be made into a big pumpkin pie. I’ve also got to make some cornbread for tonight.

I’m rocking a cardigan, even though it is supposed to be warmer this afternoon, I just couldn’t wait, I love my layers! I am so happy that fall is finally here!

Happy Fall everyone! What are you looking forward to now that the season of Autumn has arrived?

The kids had an early out day today. I was hoping that the big kids would be a little cheerier with the extra two hours, but they came home with a lot of homework, and a lot of grumpiness.

We finished up Dylan’s homework quickly, and Thade is waiting for Dad to come home to help with his. I am terrible at math. I am just thankful that Agnes isn’t bringing home homework too.

It is warming up outside, and the kids didn’t want to stay out there too long. I think I had a good five minutes of quiet while they played on the trampoline.

Time to get to the kitchen, and make some Cinnamon cake for tonight’s dessert. Oh, and get a snack for snack-time too. The kids are already hungry.

I thought that when school arrived, my days might slow down a bit. So far I’ve been completely busy… This week I have a cookie catering gig on Friday, and I can’t wait. I’ve already run most of the errands for the week, and there are a lot of chores still to do around the house.

Agnes is home, and she is pretty mad at me that she doesn’t have preschool today. The boys are already tired this week, and it is only Tuesday. I think we have an extra long week ahead of us.

Hope your Tuesday is going well.

Nobody wanted to get up this morning, and Agnes was pretty mad at me when she found out she didn’t have preschool today. I don’t know what it is about Thursday, but it is always a challenging day over here. The boys were both so tired, and so was the Miss. I downed my coffee as quickly as I could, and got the kiddos (grumpily) off to school.

Tomorrow, I hope the morning goes a little smoother. It is almost the weekend, and Agnes is looking forward to her second day at preschool. I’ve been asked to help for a bit in the morning at preschool, Agnes has already told me not to embarrass her. I’ll try to be on my best-non-squishy-giant-hugging behavior. I think it will be a fun and busy morning. It will be nice to meet some of Agnes’ new friends too.

Sorry for the late post. I’ve been stuck cleaning grossness in the utility room, and doing lots and lots of laundry too. Here is to a lazy evening watching some Green Bay Packers football!
