Happy Homemaker Monday

Linking up with Sandra for Happy Homemaker Monday:

{weather outside:}

Cloudy but nearly 40 degrees so I'll take it! It was nice for the boys to be able to play outside this morning without mittens and hats, etc.

{breakfast this morning:}

Steel cut oats with fresh strawberries on top.

{outside my window:}

Lots of trucks on our street today because they are building a new house next door. The boys have been looking out the front window all morning.

{right now I am:}

On the couch drinking my tea listening to classical music on the radio and smelling chicken soup simmering on the stove.

{as I look around my house:}

Some toys scattered about but otherwise, tidy. Feeling good after a heavy duty vacuuming job in each of the bedrooms this morning.

{today's to-do list:}

~pre-k: letter "T" & number "4"
~vacuum bedrooms
~2 loads of laundry
~organize craft closet

{favorite little thing:}

Haircut! My husband (a man of many talents ;) trimmed about four inches off my hair yesterday and while it's not visibly noticeable since I keep it so long, it feels so bouncy and light!
