Busy Sunday

 Strawberries (from last spring) and pound cake, desert for tonight.

 Here is the mug rug I got in the mail this week from Carla as a drawing winner during our low spend declutter challenge. How stinkin cute it this!!! But something is missing.

Much better with cookies don't you think?

I love, love, love my new mug rug from Carla over at 1/2 dozen daily!!! All the hard work of February has paid off big time, not only in a more organized home but now with this cute mug rug that is all MINE to enjoy a cup of tea with. I think it looks like spring, all happy, fresh and colorful. Thank you so much Carla. If you are looking for some cute little gifts check out her blog she has a tab with her handmade items listed all at really good prices and very well made!!!

Today was WAY to busy for a Sunday!!!!! Now that I have all the little ones during the week my weekends are full of running around doing the things I can't get done when the Grands are here. Hubby is in town for now so he got participate in all the ripping and running, he is as whipped as I am tonight!

We started our day dropping AJ the beagle off for a bath and pedi, then on to breakfast out where we ran into a neighbor we haven't seen in ages, nice little visit. Then off to BJ's to pay yet another membership fee, grrr. We picked up lots of things we were getting low on that I can't get for a better price at the grocery store even on sale and with coupons. I know prices well enough to buy only what is the best deal, that is until hubby takes off on his own with the buggy. I drug him out of the candy isle by assuring him I had a nice stockpile of M&M's at home so he won't be going hungry for a sweet treat. We did really well and would have stayed way under budget if we would have skipped the book isle. Hubby found one book that he assured me was needed (he is reading it right now, miracle!) I found a perfect book for a friends upcoming BIG birthday and of course a cookbook since I only have a million on had. We were still under budget so I am a OK with the splurge.

Back home to get Sunday dinner started, desert made, clean out the back pantry and canning jars then on to getting the pile of onions in the dehydrator. Hubby has never been around for dehydrating onions, garlic or cabbage, he was not to happy with the aroma that filled the house to say the least!! I have the dehydrator running in the garage, it is really stinky stuff and will make your eyes water. Thankfully the weather was nice so we opened all the doors and windows and I gave the kitchen and floors a good scrub so the smell has cleared out.

Sunday dinner is done, the kids have headed home to get the little ones to bed, hubby and I are both dead to our feet and in the bed as well. We are SO BLESSED that our girls live close enough to us to see them often and share Sunday dinner each week, but man alive it is a lot of work!!
