Homemaking, Errand Day and More

WORDS TO LIVE BY

The wise woman builds her house,    but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.
Proverbs 14:1

TODAY'S QUOTE

Homemaking is surely in reality the most important work in the world. What do ships, mines, railways, cars, governments, etc., exist for except that people may be fed, warmed and safe in their own homes. The homemaker's job is one for which all other's exist. ~ C. S. Lewis 

IN THE KITCHEN

Today was a slow day in the kitchen. This morning we had cereal with milk, apple slices and grape juice for breakfast. Since today was errand day we stopped at Kentucky Fried Chicken for to go cups of chicken and potato wedges and drinks. For snack this afternoon we had bananas and milk. This evening Doug, Kristen and Michael went out for dinner and the rest of us just got ourselves a sandwich or smacked when we got hungry.

AROUND THE HOUSE

Today I swept the floors, picked up the playroom and kept the dishes washed up. Austin did the daily cleaning in the upstairs bathroom. Amanda did the daily cleaning in the downstairs bathroom and cleaned the Beta bowls. Michael took out the trash.

IN THE GARAGE

Doug and Austin did some more work this evening on this set of shelves.

OUT AND ABOUT

Today was errand day and although we had a fairly long list of stops most of it went very well. We went to the gas station, bank, pet store, game store, Sharp Shopper, Goodwill, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Food Lion. We were doing very well until we got to Food Lion and suddenly Michael hit meltdown stage. We ended up just leaving our cart and walking out. Thankfully there wasn't much in it yet. Thanks a lot insurance company for refusing to fill his prescription yesterday. There really is a reason we need it! He settled back down quickly though and was fine on the ride to my sister's place to take care of their animals since she is out of town. While we were there the kids took the opportunity to run around a little and play on the swingset. 

AND MORE

Just a little relaxing with some big teddy bears and a game on the tablet.
