Listening To: The sounds of morning around the house. J is taking a shower. Arthur is playing quietly in the playroom. Nick is rustling through the kitchen for breakfast. And apparently Alex is still sleeping...

Book finished: The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared; The Age of Innocence (review pending; need to watch the movie first); Sally Heathcote: Suffragette

Reading: The Dark Glamour by Gabriella Pierce; The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot (reread for book club next weekend)

On the Nightstand: The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins; Bait and Switch by Barbara Ehrenreich

Making Lists: Ugh grocery lists! Even with my new meal planning system, I still have to make a grocery list almost every week. Really not a fan... Otherwise I've starting making a list for when my mom visits in July and for craft class ideas.

Around the house: My house is in a constant state of unrest. The toddler is being very messy with snacks and breakfast. Toys are everywhere. My stuff has piled up as we were so busy last week. And there's laundry everywhere! Really need to take some time this coming week and get everything under control!

From the kitchen: No new recipes this week. Although I made Caribbean jerk pork tacos and Mongolian beef that the twins actually enjoyed. Score for mom! This coming week I want to try the recipe for apple pie cookies that has been sitting in my Pinterest for weeks now.

Crafting: This week I dove back into the twins' scrapbooks. Turns out they were two years behind. In one week I caught them up about three months. Plus I finished filling the current traditional post-bound scrapbook, so I bought new D-ring albums and switched them to Project Life style. It's going so much faster now. I'm hoping to get Christmas break 2013-2014 done today and move on to the rest of 2014 this coming week.

Watching: We introduced the twins to Robin Hood: Men in Tights last night. They didn't like it as much as Spaceballs, but it was a good one. J and I have been watching Farscape. Halfway through the last season and boy has the show gotten crazy! Really feeling the push to finish the series this month.

Wondering: How many goldfish are currently hiding in and under the couch, in the playroom, and other random places? We're going through a stage right now...

From Nature: Back to nice warm (not hot) temperatures and a nice breeze. One thing I love about Castro Valley is the lovely near-constant breeze we get. South Bay was always so still, I'm loving the bit of wind we get up here.

Project: Twins' scrapbooks!
