For August 25, 2008

Outside My Window…. My husband is fixing the flat tire on our son's bike. I so love seeing him surprising his children with this or that. Memories that will last a lifetime with them.

I am thinking…… that today is going to be a lovely day.. inside and out.

I am thankful for…. the home and family that the Lord gave me, and the peacefulness therein.

 From the kitchen….. dh made a pot of coffee and we are sharing before the children get up for school.

I am wearing…. My nightgown and duster and my fuzzy slippers.

I am creating…… Crocheted caps for winter for all of the grandchildren.

I am going…. To help the children with school projects today and get some underwear cut out to sew and hopefully get to all the housecleaning I need to!

 I am reading… The Sacrifice by Beverly Lewis

I am hoping….. a positive phone call from ours or another mortgage lender today about the house we want in the country!

I am hearing…..Chirping birds and my computer humming.

Around the house….We are working on a few home improvement projects. Abi took to scrubbing the kitchen tile grout yesterday and it looks great! DH and I are contemplating painting the bathroom~ it really needs it. and Just little things that we can do to make our home a little cleaner, a little more comfortable, and bit more inviting...

One of my favorite things is….When our children get along and there is no arguing. Yesterday evening, for instance, the girls were working on their crocheting, and Logan was outside playing (then he came in and learned to make a chain). It was wonderful and I enjoyed having all the children together.

A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week.......Nothing really interesting, just work and home. But then again, isn't that interesting enough? :)

 Here are a couple of pictures I am sharing .......

Abi helping in the kitchen and one of the hats...the crazy hats... (we DID take the ruffle off this one though!)
