FOR TODAY February 3, 2011
Outside my window
...it is dark and cold. Seriously cold.
I am thinking...about how to get my almost 5 year old to stay in his bed to go to sleep. Minimally, he gets up 7 times after I put him in bed, to tell me he can't go to sleep. What is a Mom to do?
I am thankful for...my kids. I most likely complain too much, but I wouldn't want it any other way.
From the learning rooms...we have been reading about the Solar System, just started reading aloud King of the Golden City (in prep for 1st Communion), starting the sounds "aw", "au", "wa", "squa", "all", and "al", and finishing up rounding to the nearest thousand and ten thousand chapter. Just started using a pencil grip (actually 3 different kinds today). Preschooler is just having fun with letter sounds and counting to 10.
From the kitchen...nothing exciting. Wanting to make Turkish Delight. Thinking alot about making chocolate-zucchinni (sp?) muffins.
I am wearing...fleece PJs.
I am creating...hopefully a reading family.
I am reading...A Wrinkle in Time. Seriously enjoying Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle with Sophia.
I am hoping...for new dining table this year.
I am hearing...Oscar's dinner: crickets. (He's the gecko!) The furnace kicking on.
Around the house...lots of clothes to fold and put away. Maybe tomorrow.
One of my favorite things...whipped cream in my coffee.
A few plans for the rest of the week: picking up Will's Bday invites/announcements tomorrow. Planning for my first Altar Society meeting as President - YIKES! Help me, Lord!
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

My Dad, Frank, and my kids the day before his open-heart surgery. Precious!
