A Tuesday Daybook

Outside my Window ... more rain! It has been raining since last Friday and truthfully ... I'm loving it! This is so good for our little garden and it's made for some cozy days at home.

I am thinking ... that it does not seem like it has been two years since our baby was born. Time truly does fly and we are going to enjoy a day of celebrating our BBoo girl. And I am also thinking that is past time for another little one - two year olds don't snuggle near enough for me. :)

I am thankful for ... a little time out this weekend with some girlfriends. I was able to catch up with some friends and a few have some unbelievably weighty things going on in their lives. I am so thankful that we have a God that we can cast all our cares before.

In the learning room ... my fingers are itching to hit the "order me" button for the rest of our homeschooling books! We have been having fun looking at book lists and dreaming about "read alouds" for this fall.

From the kitchen ...

Monday: chicken caesar pasta salad
Tuesday: crockpot angel pasta
Wednesday: quesadillas
Thursday: cowboy chow
Friday: pizza night
Saturday: breakfast dinner - might even go all out and make a breakfast casserole. Yum. :)

I am creating ... So far so good on the May Layout-a-Day project. I'm enjoying this small goal to tackle some scrapbook pages ... I'll try and post some of them later this week.

I am going ... to the library today! And N1's dance class! It's Tuesday so that's our normal run for the day. :)

I am wearing ... sleep t-shirt and pants.

I am reading ... an old Dee Henderson that I just pulled off my shelf. I've been plowing through books that I have been sent for review and I think I've finally finished them all.

I am hoping ... for a good week as we finish up our spring activities. Everything (with the exception of N1's dance that has another month) winds up this week. I don't think I will know what to do with myself with my free and clear calendar next week. (Um, you know it won't stay free, right?)

I am hearing ... Munchkins chattering a bit ... still waiting on one to roll out of bed. :)

Around the house ... nothing of note. Sorting, purging, checking the garden, never-ending laundry, making food ... the stuff of life. Next week will be a bit different since it will be just us girls while Daddy goes on a little business trip.

One of my favorite things ... birthdays. :)

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week ... dance, library, last Bible study (for which I am going to try and make scones), last Awana, today's birthday fun, my Mom's birthday, a staff meeting at church on Saturday, and huge family birthday blow-out on Sunday where we celebrate BB00/my Mom/my brother-in-law/Mother's Day and anything else we can think of to throw in there. :) Whew!

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