shift in thinking...

for the past month and a half mondays have not been fun. stephan has a night class so he hasn't been getting home till about 9:30 or so. the first monday was ugly. ugly. my mood was horrible. dinner was probably cereal. i felt myself dreading mondays.
shift. dig deep. get inspired.
results: me creating a really great monday night for the kids and i.


starting with a delicious dinner....
the best pizza dough - EVER

ingredients from my garden (ok, just the basil is from my garden, but the others are fresh!)

pizza enroute to the oven



with a delicious dinner you should probably have a tasty drink, no?
mint lemonade
i made this delicious concoction. i am addicted now and i didn't even really like lemonade.



all this was enjoyed on our "deck"....
 this is our deck. i would like to say it's temporary, but on our budget this is probably it.


but it made for happy boys and a happy mom.




and after running off some energy...



mondays are officially FUNdays!

I think we all have days like that! We take a look at the things we want to change, and do what we can to make it happen. Sometimes we have to take a look over and over again, but as long as we keep trying-that is all that we can do. I am glad that you were able to make your Monday more enjoyable!
