Happy Homemaker 2025-09-15

Good morning and happy Butterscotch Cinnamon Pie Day (September 15th) | Days Of The Year (recipe with the link)

A busy telework week and dh had alot to do around the house (he worked on his trailer) and changed (or tried to!) the thermos in the bay window... he will have to go back to the store-shop for the 3rd time.. they did not give us the right depth for the window.  I just hope it gets all finished before it gets too cold.  He is also the one who does groceries, errands, puts gaz in the car, and makes most of the meals now that he is retired and I work.  At noon he does dishes alone and at night we do it together.  Since he gets up later than me he also makes the bed alone most of the time. He is also mostly the one to put the clothes on clothesline and take them off (I do the washing - but teaching him how to do it ;)  and I do the folding)

We did not get to see grandkids this week other than wave to Xavier in his school bus in the morning.  He got 2 hearts from his teacher and afterschool daycare person this week.

Ely's funny this week (4 years old):  at 6:00 am one morning he asked dd why she wanted kids (I guess he considers himself her kid - their real mom has not seen them in over 8 months, not even to see how Alyssane is doing with starting kindergarten hmpf)...she told him it was because when she gets old she want to be invited somewhere for Christmas, so he told her he would invite her :)

Weekend - housechores inside and out.  Supper at ds' Saturday night.  Sunday night supper at restaurant for bil's 68th bday (I had the fish and chips very good)

Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom . ,

Looking around the house
