A Homemaker's Day Book
June 12, 2009
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW: Clouds and rain. It's been raining for 10 days and it's expected to keep raining for another 10 days. Noah?
I AM THANKFUL FOR:
FROM THE KITCHEN: Corn Chowder and garlic buttered biscuits. Tonight will be BBQ chicken pizza.
I AM READING: The Persian Pickle Club by Sandra Dallas. I'm onto 20 Wishes by Debbie Macomber.
I AM HEARING: When I started this, most of the kids were down for naps, but they have all woken up, started a movie, escaped downstairs, dumped water on themselves, and gotten into a fight. And I'm hearing dishes being done verrrryyy slowwwwwwlllly.
I AM CREATING: Nothing right now. A clean house? Does that count?
I AM GOING: Grocery shopping tomorrow. Butter is on sale for 1.00 a pound!!!
I AM HOPING: Ok, enough with the rain. I'm ready for summer to start...any day now.....the pool is open but no one can swim because it's just too cold.
AROUND THE HOUSE: I've been contemplating painting the house. Outside and inside. What's a good color to go with 1950's style/color of woodwork? It's got that mahogany color to it.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS: Watching Joshua (3) and Simeon (5) cater to Ammon (1). "Ammon, here's your toys!", or hugging Ammon when he's gotten hurt, or now including him in their play by giving him a car to play on the rug with, or a blanket to play tent with. And while I'm on the subject of Ammon, he's gotten so animated in the last few months. He walks and climbs and plays all day long. He wants to sleep with a boppy now that he used when he was nursing. I cover it up by another blanket because I thought it would be more cozy. No, he prefers the blanket off because then he can see the little animals on the cover. How cute is that!?
A FEW PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK: School with the kids. Working on the blog with Shiloah. Preparing for a Survivor Night at church that I'm heading up (share more on that later). Training a puppy. Doing a paper route. Trying to fit some kind of exercise in there somewhere.
A PICTURE THOUGHT FOR YOU: How things work.
Pencil Sharpener
Leaf Rubbings
This is the moon behind some trees during a lightening storm. Not the best picture, but trying to figure out how to work this fancy camera.
This is Simeon learning how to measure, with the help of his friend Cody.
