We had a good, slow weekend at home, thanks to a round of pink eye that hit both of the boys on Friday afternoon. Pink eye may be the best sickness yet- it makes you all stay home and the kids can still play normally! :)
The kiddos stayed outside almost all of Saturday and Sunday thanks to the awesome weather we had, which made me be able to take a very long nap each day, and even have time to sit down and relax after we worked around the house on Saturday morning:
That little cup of afternoon coffee gave me enough energy to go rake leaves and clean up the yard until dark. We had to run to the store for yard supplies and I couldn't help but laugh and take a picture when my husband pulled into this reserved spot:
Hey, there are benefits to being pregnant! :D
Sometimes I can manage to eat veggies with my chicken, but I almost never eat what the rest of the family eats. And I still can't eat salad at night. I told Rob if I had any cravings right now, I would so indulge myself because I want to want to eat something again! I don't even desire sugar. I mean who is this girl these days??? I don't know her!
breakfasts:
oatmeal
frosted mini wheats {kids} AHEM: note to self: only eat these if within a few hours you desire to feel 9 months preggo when you are 4.5, or 4.5 months preggo when you are not preggo at all...
bananas
greek yogurt + fruit
lunches:
sandwiches {kids} + "veggie" chips {lol} or honey wheat pretzels
quesadillas {kids}

dinners:

4. Return items to mall store and mail packages.
5. Defrost the freezer.

read:
7 days of readings in my one year Bible
The Freedom of Self Forgetfulness by Timothy Keller {short book I downloaded to my phone for .99!}
learn:
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice;
let them ever sing for joy,
and spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may exult in you.
For you bless the righteous, O LORD;
you cover him with favor as with a shield.
Psalm 5:11-12 ESV
be:
grateful- I'm reading in Numbers right now about the Israelites- how much they grumbled wishing for the easier days, and how much God hated hearing their complaints. I don't want to be like that, even when things aren't going well for me, and I'm praying God will help me not to grumble, even {or especially} to Him.
I'm hoping to give you a good report back next week on all I got done. ;) We'll hope it all goes well!
How often have you or your family had pink eye? Do you treat it at home at first or go to the doctor right away?
The kids have never had it before now, but I have once. Theirs is almost completely gone already {yay!}, so hopefully it won't come back and need more treatment. When I had it, it was a couple of days after I had been at the hospital and had Avalie. I had to get antibiotics, and it lasted for 10 days and I had a newborn to take care of. It was awful.
Do you like doing yard work? What's your favorite outdoor chore?
I like it a lot! Mostly pruning branches and raking leaves- I used to like to push mow before I was married, but I've not been allowed to touch a mower since I was married 10 years ago. :) That or drive while in the car with my husband. :D
Favorite dinner on the menu this week? Or one big goal you want to complete?
Chicken pot pie. I might actually eat that one!
