FOR TODAYOutside my window...the high will be 63 today. I feel so cheated with this whole winter thing.
I am thinking...that I hope I can function better than last week. I had a chest/head thing that really slowed me down. I’m behind in laundry, school with the kids and just about everything else.
I am thankful for...the laundry I did get done this past weekend. I don’t think we’ll have to dig through any piles looking for jeans today.
From the learning rooms...working on a History Pockets book with Jack and Lydia…Egypt. A train lapbook with Henry. Trying to fit more time in the schedule to meet with Ben and discuss his schoolwork. Once a week just wasn’t enough.
From the kitchen...oatmeal for breakfast. I love oatmeal and anything with oatmeal in it. I thought about starting a blog with only oatmeal recipes on it, until my husband rolled his eyes at me when I told him about it. He doesn’t like oatmeal like I do. ;-)
I am creating...I’m not doing the creating these days. I’ve been enjoying watching Darin develop a new hobby. He has started editing our movies so the kids can watch. Jurassic Park, Apollo 13…..there are curse words in those movies. Why? It’s really all so unecessary.
I personally would go insane doing the editing thing. Seems kinda boring to me, but that’s just the kind of sweet, geeky husband I have. J
I am going...to crack the whip this week. Bwaaaaaaa-haaa-haaaaaaaaaa!
I am reading...The Cross & the Switchblade. Ben is supposed to read it for school this year. Anyone have any thoughts on a 13 year old reading this book? I am only in Chapter 3 so far.
I am hoping...that Sophia is through waking up during the night. Sleeeeep, Sophia! Sleeeeeeeeep.
I am hearing...Jack and Henry "shooting" each other. Henry just died. Sophia is opening and closing a desk drawer.
Around the house...finish catching up on laundry, make a triple batch of muffins for the freezer, mop the kitchen floor, stay away from the sugar cookies Lydia and I made yesterday!
One of my favorite things...Sugar cookies.
A few plans for the rest of the week: birthday party, thing at church on Saturday night, piano lessons for Lydia, start teaching Jack the recorder, guitar lessons for Ben.
Here is picture thought I am sharing…

My daughter is to read it next year when we do american history. How is it? Sh ewill be just 14. I am enjoying getting into some books that interest me more now. Have a nice week!!
ReplyDeleteCrystal, definitely read it WITH her - aloud to her, and edit as you go along. There are some things in there I had never heard of and wish I hadn't. It's a good book, and can do without that stuff.
ReplyDeleteAlso...I'm not sure what your religious views are, but David Wilkerson is a Pentecostal. He doesn't go into huge detail until a few chapters towards the end. I'm looking forward to a good conversation with my son about it - we are not Pentecostal. :-)
