Well, we are getting off to a good start to the week. I have no idea what the rest of the week is going to look like but so far so good.

I was able to try a new recipe from Pinterest - French Breakfast Muffins - a recipe that was shared by Carolyn C.,
www.keyingredient.com. This recipe reminded me of French toast in muffin form.

I also tried a different granola bar recipe that I found from Mandy's Biblical Homemaking Blog. I liked it much better. The mix makes a lot of granola bars! My kids will have plenty for snacks. You can also crush them up to put on top of yogurt for an added crunch. Just a side note, cut them while they are still warm. I made these right before supper and got too caught up in supper to pay them any attention while they were warm and had to "saw" them out of the pan after they cooled down.

The weekly meal plan is going well. I made spaghetti and meatballs Monday night and there was a lot left over so today's lunch was a snap. It was chicken fajitas for supper tonight.

For the first time in my life laundry is not the dreaded monster it used to be. It is a major blessing having the laundry facility located right off from the kitchen in this house. I can wash two loads of laundry while I am working in the kitchen in the morning and finish it up during lunch prep. 

School work has been going well this week. We have finally got into the groove of things and have managed to stay the course, following the schedule and getting so much accomplished. Aaron did a great job on his written poetry exam today. He had to write the poem "Opportunity" by Edward Rowland Sill from memory using proper spelling and punctuation. He was dreading the assignment because he wasn't sure he was going to remember all the punctuation that was involved in that poem. He surprised himself by only missing two commas and received an "A". His spelling was spot on!

Sydney will be finishing up her Science study and heading into History by next week. She is working on observing the weather patterns and couldn't wait to go outside in the pouring rain to report on the wet conditions. She is learning about evaporation so she collected rain water in a bowl and covered it with saran wrap to see if she can "catch" some water as it evaporates. All she needs now is a sunny day! ;o)

The kidney beans that she planted from an experiment she was working on a few weeks back are really growing. She will need to transplant them here soon.

The big excitement of the week is yet to come. My oldest daughter Lindsay turns 21 on Friday AND my hubby has his first Nashville studio recording session. It is going to be exciting!

Here's to a busy, productive week!
