Monday Muddle

Things have gotten a bit away from us over the last couple of weeks.  Summer's coming to a close and I can't believe my babies are returning to school.  Nothing makes me want to home school as much as back to school time.  We had a great summer together and it's hard to see it go.

In addition to the normal craziness of summer, we were still trying to squeeze in an Anniversary trip and a trip to Grandma's when my cousin passed away unexpectedly.  So for the past few weeks, we've been scrambling to get everyone ready for a new routine, all the while feeling like we're in a haze.  It's amazing how time marches on when you're still gathering your wits about you.

As I look around my house, I've not been a very good homemaker these last few weeks.  There are library books strewn about, random bits of paper on the dinning room table, a messy desk, laundry waiting to be folded, and general chaos in my home.  As the memorial service was this past weekend, I'm hoping that will signal a transition into finding some normalcy.

So speaking of normalcy, here's our menu for the week:
