Monday Morning Check-In
Happy Monday morning, my friends, and Happy Halloween to those of you who celebrate it! I hope you had a terrific weekend! We had a really nice weekend and a great visit with my Dad. Here’s how things turned out with my lists…
Play List
- Boot-camp. I didn’t go. I decided to have breakfast with my Dad instead. Good choice, I think.
- Enjoy spending time with my family and Dad. Indeed. We had a whole lot of fun doing things like…Spending Saturday afternoon in St. Charles, Missouri, watching the Cardinals clinch the World Series, shopping for Halloween finishing touches, Trick-or-Treating, and cooking and eating great food.
To Finish
- Quick run to the grocery store for weekend meals. Oh, yes, there were one or two of these. Reminded me why I usually prefer planning my meals ahead of time.
- Finish getting ready for Halloween! Check!
So all in all, it was a fantastic, fall weekend! I hope yours was terrific, too. I look forward to reading all about it in the comments. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
To Do:
Wash from trip - Done
Grocery Store - WalMart need to go to grocery store - Started
Switch clothes around if wash is finished for season - NO :( Hopefully today I can tackle this project
Fun:
Library for Books - NO Will get there within the next 2 days since I'm on my last book
Nap - ended up taking a nice long nap and resting from our trip
Congrats to your daughter on her red belt.
I need to get back on track and love the 28 days challenge. Thanks!

1. Potluck dinner party with friends. Check and it was so great to catch up!
2. Date Night with Husband.Check!
3. See a show with my Mom and Aunt. Check!
4. Check out our new Habitat ReStore! Check! I was like a kid in a candy store.
WORK
1. Finish paint chip art. Check!
2. Finish styling Husband's work area. Check and he loves it!
3. Make new dining room light feature. No check. When I went to the Restore, I found a really cool chandelier that changed my dining room lighting plans. Luckily, I hadn't gotten far in this project so all previous materials can be returned. No wasted $$ or time and a much better idea, so I'm ok with no check for this one!

Oh, wow, Donna! What a mess you must have had this weekend. Hope things are settling down a bit.
As for us, I think we were all exhausted from the preparations done last week in anticipation of guests. Everything went well, but by Saturday I was sick with a cold and didn't want to do much of anything that afternoon but lay around. Must have worked, though, because I felt much better on Sunday :)

*Family pizza night - YES!
*Soccer on Saturday - YES!
*Dinner with husband, son, & grandson on Sat night - YES!
*Concert on Sunday - YES!
TO-DO:
*Lesson plans - DONE!
*Amazon order - nope
*Monthly calendar - DONE!
*Bookkeeping (maybe) - didn't even try
*Decide on 4H icebreakers - DONE!
