Daybook Entry

FOR TODAY...

Outside My Window...

the clouds overshadow the day

and several Red-breasted Nuthatches

and Chickadees dine on the sunflower seeds

in the pinecone birdfeeders

the boys and I madea couple weekends ago.

I am thinking...

"is it the kids' nap time yet?"

I am thankful for...

our Christian school that our church runs -

we decided today that my oldest nephew is in need

of more structure if he's going to be ready

for kindergarten this Fall.

From the learning rooms...

we are almost finished with our first math workbook,

only a couple pages left in handwriting,

and are currently reading:
Egermeier's Children's Bible Storybook

The Llama Who Had No Pajama

(for fun)

The Story of Dr. Doolittle

(and no, I'm going to run upstairs

to check if I spelled that right)

Elmer and the Dragon

(Cade's favorite)

and as always....

a whole PILE of library books!

Yep. We kind of like reading

in our house! :o)

From the kitchen...

I've got bread rising in the oven - I bet it's about to overflow -

I should go check on that.

I am wearing...

crazy striped socks, burgundy fluffy slippers,

favorite gray jeans, and a sky blue camisole

underneath a grass green fleece.

I am creating...

almost done with scarf

(same one as last week)

more dishcloths,

still working on my knitted handbag

and would love to get some #7 knitting needles

so I could try to knit myself some mittens!

We'll see about that...

*smile*

I am going...

to a friends house for coffee night / crafting night.

Hello, uninterrupted knitting time!

Yay!

I am reading...

through the gospel of Matthew,

still in the Psalms,

and of course my favorite -

Spurgeon's Morning and Evening.

Oh, and also reading The Love Dare

that a friend lent me.

I'm excited to see what is all in there!

I am hoping...

that my oldest nephew will be a good boy in preschool

(which he starts this week).

Pray with me on this one, won't you?!

I am hearing...

my niece bossing the boys around

*sigh*

what is it about girls????

They think they rule the roost!

I've got news for Sweet Thing.......

Around the house...

I really need to vacuum,

of course, the usual laundry

and baking bread and trying to decide what to

make for supper tonight.

One of my favorite things...

sitting and enjoying long talks with my Mom.

My Mom is one of my best friends and I adore her.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:

#1) try not to lose my mind

#2) try to implement Pastor's message on

being quick to listen, slow to speak...you know the rest.

*smile*

#3) make it to the gym at least 3 times

#4) enjoy a date night with my sweet husband while

a friend takes on the challenge of watching our 5 kids

for a couple hours. Bless her heart.

#5) I'm going to stop now or I'll overwhelm myself

with my own expectations. :o)

Here is picture thought I am sharing...
