New Helpers and Other Monday Fun

WORDS TO LIVE BY


Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's perfect will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will. 
Romans 12:2


TODAY'S QUOTE

Why aren't you dancing with joy at this very moment? is the only relevant spiritual question. 
Vilayat Khan


IN THE KITCHEN

For breakfast this morning we had our usual - cereal with milk, bananas, and juice. Lunch was pizza rolls, green beans, applesauce and butter bread, and for snack there were animal crackers and juice. This evening we had sausage corn chowder, buttery corn bread and pears. The buttery corn bread recipe is my favorite corn bread recipe ever. I've tried several others and always end up coming back to this one. 

ANIMAL UPDATES


I had a couple new helpers this morning and they made morning chores fun. The rabbits enjoyed extra attention and being hand fed.


Grayson loved Ronnie (and her water bowl).


And Miss Piggy was happy with all the apples we tossed her way!

AROUND THE HOUSE

It was a busy Monday around our house. I did four loads of laundry, swept floors and washed dishes. Austin cleaned out the van, swept and straightened the porches, dusted, washed windows and did the daily cleaning in the upstairs bathroom. Amanda did the daily cleaning in the downstairs bathroom, swept again this evening, picked up the playroom and cleaned some of the indoor animal pens (guinea pigs, Link the Chick, and the goldfish aquarium) and did some of her own laundry. Michael took out trash, helped clear the table after lunch, and vacuumed the living room and playroom. The little kids helped pick up the toys several times today.


OUT AND ABOUT

We didn't go anywhere today and it was nice to have a full day at home. 

AND MORE




It was cool outside but sunny so after lunch we out to play for awhile before nap time.
