Do visit Peggy's to see all the other daybook posts this week!

FOR TODAY

Outside my Window ... very wet outside right now. It's in the mid-50's so it's back to fall-ish weather around here.

I am thinking ... that I have much to think one. Some plans for the upcoming weeks and some reflection on the last couple.

I am thankful for ... how well my big girls did in the Christmas program (and how wonderful the program was in general. Re: the girls - this is the first year that our munchkins distinguished themselves by NOT crying while on stage which I was so thankful for.

In the learning room ...  not much this week that is structured. :) We're going to read lots of Christmas books and just have fun together.

I am hoping ... for a white Christmas for my munchkins. :)

I am hearing ... little girls playing together. Happy sounds.

Around the house ... straightening needs to be done. A weekend of lots of go-go-going has left us with some disarray in our living space. Not to mentioned, it looks like we are going to host a get-together with some friends right after the first of the year and now, of course, I'm seeing purging that must be done. Always good to have a goal to work towards.

One of my favorite things ... Christmas mail. Cards that are slowing trickling in. Getting my own in the mail this week, eventually. :)

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week ... This week looks to be very low key, for which I am so thankful. We have nothing on the calendar, unbelievably. All our
