Happy Homemaker Monday

{weather outside:}

Well, we already hit our high for the day of 28 degrees. Now the temperature has been steadily dropping and and will do so until tonight when it's supposed to get down to -2 degrees. But yesterday afternoon was nearly forty degrees and sunny. Such a treat and a reminder that Spring will be here before we know it!

{breakfast this morning:}

Oatmeal topped with fresh blueberries.

{outside my window:}

Cloudy, dreary and white.

{right now I am:}

Eating breakfast with my boys.

{as I look around the house:}

It's pretty dirty, literally. My husband and father-in-law rewired the lighting in our kitchen and installed a new light fixture with a ceiling fan yesterday. I absolutely love it but it was so late by the time they finished that we didn't have the energy to clean up last night. So, at the moment, there's a nice little layer of sawdust and dirt on the kitchen and living room floors that needs to be taken care of very soon.
