muffin monday

Mondays are days that I get to spend putting things away from the weekend and taking stock of what is in my cupboards and think ahead as to what I am going to cook and freeze for meals for the boys for the upcoming weekend. 

Mondays are also muffin mondays :) CO and I spend the early hours of the morning choosing and baking muffins. By the time they are ready to come out of the oven, J will be awake and ready to join us. Last weekend CO and I baked blueberry oatmeal muffins and this morning it was morning glory (or carrot as CO refers to them). Then I can use the leftovers for traveling snacks all week. Tuesdays and Thursdays are days we have something to attend in the morning and I will pack the boys a 'lunch' of snacks that they can eat either in the truck or at the location.

I want to tweak the morning glory muffin recipe to decrease the oil and sugar.

This week I find out if there is still room in the homeschool gymnastics class for CO to join. If so then we will have something to the town south of us from 930-11 on Tuesdays and then have to drive 45 minutes to another town for gymnastics from 12-1. It puts a lot in his day but I think it will be good for him. It will throw J's sleep schedule for a loop but either I'll see if he can nap at a friend's house or he will just have to be later in going down for his nap.

I have invited a friend to join me at my biblestudy group. She is going to try it out this Monday to see if she is interested in attending more often. The book we are studying is 'the Eve Factor'.

It is a beautiful sunny day outside. I noticed at work this weekend that the tulips and daffodils are starting to come up...crazy weather. What happened to winter?
