Outside my window... it was cold walking this morning! No wind, but overcast and cold!
I am thinking... about how I wish I had motivation to actually do all of the projects I want to do around this house. So many things!!!
I am thankful ... for a sweet homeschooling comrade who is giving me a curriculum that I am needing (and was willing to buy from her), just to be a blessing to me. She won't even let me pay her for the postage to mail it.
I am wearing... black nylon workout pants, a long-sleeved white t-shirt layered with a breast cancer awareness t-shirt from Kyndal's pink night at her school the other night, a white zip-up hoodie and tennis shoes.
I am planning... Eli's Blue and Gold Banquet decorations with our den leader. It's always just me and her doing things, and we have a lot to do.
I am creating... (helping create) a fruit bouquet for Taylar (from Dawson) for Valentine's Day.
I am going... to get the kids' Valentine's put together today for their exchange at Co-op on Thursday (Nothing fancy this year.)
I am reading... The Green Shore by Natalie Bakopoulos; Attracting Birds to Your Backyard by Sally Roth, Ending the Food Fight by Robert Ludwig, M.D., Ph.D., Becoming a Titus 2 Woman by Martha Peace, and The Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black (Eli and Brynne's read-a-loud).
I am praying... for God's Will for our future.
From the learning rooms... this week we are studying all about Maps. Our virtual book club author is David McPhail and we read Edward and the Pirates. So, we decided to use a free map unit study we found and learn all about maps while we were at it. I love when we decide to do this and then every subject we are learning about that week just happens to be related to our unit. It's like lessons just put themselves together for me.
Noticing that ... if I want Brynne to have vegetables in her diet that I am just going to have to hide them. There is not ONE vegetable she likes! (She did say last night, though, that she wants to try lettuce on her burger the next time we have them.)
From the kitchen... Tuesday ~ chicken and avocado cigars,
Wednesday ~ potluck at church (taking pepperoni pizza muffins),
Thursday ~ fish tacos (for me) and leftover tacos for the kids,
Friday ~ english muffin spinach and pepperoni pizzas,
Saturday ~ hmmmm ... idk,
Sunday ~ dinner at mom and dad's.
Around the house... are little mini-bouquets of flowers in mason jars, from the bunch of flowers Rick brought me on Saturday. They brighten my day!
One of my favorite things... is Downton Abbey and the season finale is already next week! I am so sad!!
A few plans for the rest of the week... Another fairly uneventful week. Dawson works a couple of evenings. We had Scouts last night and church Wednesday night. Thursday night Brynne is going with my parents' to my niece's last home basketball game. We have Co-op on Thursday. I am going to a Homeschool Co-op mom's night out on Friday night to paint pottery. On Saturday we are meeting to finalize plans for the Blue and Gold Banquet.

Loved the photo...what a happy little group. I can't help but wonder what Crusoe was thinking about the story.......
ReplyDeleteI love how your dog is always in your pictures with the kids. And what a great idea to separate your flowers so you can enjoy them 3 times as much! :)
ReplyDeleteThere is also a dog on Brynne's lap and another one laying next to her. I'm not sure where the fourth one is ... nearby, though, I can assure you.
