My Daybook

For Today...

September 29th...the last Monday in September.

Outside my Window...

The is actually shining. It's windy. Not too cold but not too warm. A perfect fall day.

I am thinking...

of all the things I'd like to finish today and is still left to be crossed off my "to do" list.

From the learning rooms...

A good start to the week. We were able to squeeze in everything but music & art before lunch. I hope we can get to it after the babies naps are done. This is the fun stuff & I hate putting it off.

I am thankful for...

the forgiving hearts of children when mommy has a bad moment.

From the kitchen...

homemade oatmeal bread baking. Yum! I hope to make time for chocolate nut banana muffins later as well. Those will end up being my hubby's breakfast for the next week or so.

I am wearing...

a jean skirt (thought I was just going to say just jeans right?), leggings under for comfort, a pink flowery short-sleeve shirt & socks but no shoes.

I am reading...

Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. You'll have to read the book to find out what that first rule is, but it is very true - even in real life.

I am hoping...

for a great afternoon with my kiddos - the ones that are mine & the ones I "borrow" each week.

I am creating...

no-sew/tie fleece blankets for Brady's Smiles. I finished the first one yesterday & plan to make five more.

I am hearing...

peace & quiet. Three kiddos are napping. One is playing quietly in his room & the oldest is off to get the mail with his great-grandfather. It's one of my favorite times of day.

One of my favorite things...

fresh bread out of the oven smeared with butter. Yum!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...

it's a relatively quiet week. The younger boys have soccer tomorrow. We all head to MOPS on Wednesday morning. Our MOPS coordinator is set to have a c-section tomorrow so pray for her if you think of it please. My middle son has his first soccer game on Saturday morning & then we'll be spending the day with my sister & good friend. Not too crazy busy, but just a rather normal week for us.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

This is a picture of our road heading back towards our house. It doesn't look like a steep hill but from this point on, the rest of the way is uphill including our driveway. It's about a 1/2 mile from this point. I love all the fall colors on the trees though. The wind would come up & knock leaves off & they would float down around us. I so love this time of year.
