TUESDAY NOVEMBER 16, 2010

Outside my window...it's dark & dreary and a cold rain is pouring down. Our backyard looks like a mudpit.

I am thinking...that I'm excited for next weekend--we will be decorating our house for christmas!!

I am thankful for...giggling kids.

From the learning rooms...Mya is learning the letter "Ee" and the short "e" sound and she's also learning about healthcare workers. yesterday we learned about dentists and made a FUN snack. (sliced apples with peanut butter on them with mini marshmellows for teeth!)

From the kitchen...honey bran muffins are baking.

I am wearing...cozy pink slippers

I am creating...still creating my crocheted blanket. that has been my craft project for the month. I am getting it done..but still have a LONG way to go. I love crocheting though.

I am going...to the bank and hopefully kohl's later on today.

I am reading...small amounts in numerous books (check out THIS blog post for my current reading selection). Although any day now I should be receiving "Pocketful of Pinecones" in the mail any day now. It's a fictional book about homeschooling a long time ago. I'm excited for a good "fun" book to read!

I am hoping... to make homemade bread soon.

I am hearing...Chloe--our 13 week old yellow lab whinning at the back door--she doesn't like being out in the rain. But I know she would rather run out in the rain then being in her kennel in the house while we do school. She will be getting a bath later on since she has a vet appointment at 3pm.

Around the house...are things here & there that are tossed about. I need to do some picking up before we start school.

One of my favorite things...snuggling with kids at 2am (last night I had 3 of them cuddled on my lap on the rocking chair (one woke up and caused 2 others to wake up)..but it was really peaceful and wouldn't have traded that moment for sleep at all.)

A few plans for the rest of the week: just to continue to get things ready to decorate for christmas this coming weekend.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

Simple Woman's Daybook - Tuesday Nov 9, 2010

FOR Tuesday November 9, 2010
Outside my window...there is a bright blue sky. It looks so pretty against the yellow leaves on the trees.

I am thinking...about how I miss living in the country.

I am thankful for...my husband who works so hard.

From the learning rooms...nothing extra special planned for today. Just the basic subjects today.

From the kitchen...chilli for dinner tonight. and cornbread.

I am wearing...my pj's still (hey, it's only 9:12am)

I am creating...a blanket. I've been crocheting a blanket for myself. At this rate though...I'll have a nice warm blanket by summer time. lol.

I am going...to the bank and post office today.

I am reading...nothing at the moment but hoping to be reading "Pocketful of Pinecones" early next week. I ordered it on Amazon.

I am hoping...to get my Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving.

I am hearing...cartoons that the kids are watching. "Franklin on Noggin".

Around the house...it's a tad bit messy. I need to straighten up before we start school.

One of my favorite things...Gracie's facial expressions

A few plans for the rest of the week: get caught up on laundry, organize the girls room, buy some more yarn and start crocheting some dish cloths.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
