FOR TODAY - July 13, 2009

Outside my window . . . Caleb is tearing apart a pizza box to make a pinata.

I am thinking . . . I LOVE that my children are so creative!

I am thankful . . . for the great picnic this weekend at the family farm.

From the learning rooms . . . we started back to a light school schedule today - Ben did some geometry, Caleb is working on percentages, and Eli studied plate tectonics and petrified wood.

From the kitchen . . . nothing baking with all these picnic left-overs!

I am praying . . . that He would help me live each moment fully in Him.

I am wearing . . . my favorite jean shorts and a black T-shirt with Old Navy in silver.

I am going . . . to pick up some rolls for our burgers tonight with some grilled zucchini.

I am reading . . . "Love & Respect" by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs.

I am hearing . . . duct tape being torn while Caleb works on his treasure chest pinata.

Around the house . . . tidying up from the picnic, laundry, read over Caleb's science chapter and Ben's economics to discuss with them.

One of my favorite things . . . taking care of sweet baby nieces and nephews.

A few plans for the rest of the week . . . paying bills, a trip to the market, more school reading, get some photos developed.

Here is a picture thought:
