Outside my window... the sun is shining and it's going to be 80 degrees today.
I am thinking... about how unhappy she is, but about how she just wants it to be easy. And that's not the way life works.
I am thankful ... for my hard-working husband.
I am wearing... black t-shirt, denim capris, and black flats.
I am planning... our St. Louis family trip. Going to be fun!
I am creating... e-mails to Kyndal with pictures of her from her life thus far (for a project she is doing). Nostalgia.
I am going... to enjoy my time with my family this weekend.
I am reading... Home Front by Kristin Hannah (my very favorite author .. it's her newest book), The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (Dawson's daily read-a-loud), lots of books about plants with Brynne.
I am hoping... that Eli and Brynne continue to be best friends for their whole lives. It was so sweet seeing them sitting on the tree swing together last night.
From the learning rooms... More dissections, plants, and the Great Depression. Brynne is 9 books away from reading 100 books independently this year! Dawson is 3 lessons away from completing the book portion of Driver's Ed and can get ready for his permit test.
Noticing that ... my bushes in the front yard have bloomed and there are dozens of butterflies. So pretty when you walk toward them and they all take flight.
From the kitchen... spaghetti tonight!
Around the house... Star Wars toys seem to be everywhere you look. It's what the kids are really into.
One of my favorite things... realizing I was so right when for a time I was made to feel like I was so wrong.
A few plans for the rest of the week... Dawson has an ortho appointment today to tighten his appliance. Time to get that tooth pulled into place. And tonight Eli has Boys Club at a big playground in town to do some geocaching. Church children's musical practice is tomorrow night. Getting packed and ready on Thursday, and then heading to my parents' for a mini-vacay on Friday until Wednesday. My brother is visiting from Portland, Oregon, and my sister is having her baby shower. We'll be spending some time with Kyndal. Big weekend! And, I'll be getting my summer cut and color. Yay!

ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great weekend. It sounds like it's going to be a good one!
St. Louis is a great place for a family vacation, although I may be partially biased since I lived there for 10 years. So many free things to do!
ReplyDeleteOf course you were right!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun time with your family. Can't wait to see pics of the new summer hair!
