My Daybook

Today - February 12, 2013

Outside my window....  partly cloudy, breezy and 68 degrees!  It's supposed to hit 80 today though!  Yikes!   

I am thinking... about Lent starting tomorrow

I am thankful... for a relaxing weekend with only Connor to care for :)

From the schoolroom... we discussed the 10 commandments today for religion.  Elias is working on his subtraction and Aidan is learning to write numbers. 

From the kitchen... I can smell bacon from our breakfast this morning.  I need to think of a treat/snack to whip up for our meeting tonight.  And we are having waffles for dinner to celebrate Shrove Tuesday!  The boys are super excited.  :)

I am creating... a gift for a friend who just had a baby

I am working on... teaching Juliette not to scream when she wants something

I am going... to send hubby to do some errands tonight

I am wondering... if we will make it to the 8:30 AM Mass tomorrow morning or we'll end up going at 5:30 tomorrow evening with Gabe. 

I am hoping... that the St. Valentine book I ordered for the children will get here either tomorrow or Thursday.  *crosses fingers*

I am praying.. to grow spiritually this Lent

I am reading... Just finished reading my last two issues of the Catholic Digest.  Now on to the latest issue of the Soul Gardening journal  

I am looking forward to... my mother-in-law's visit in three weeks.  :)  It is always nice to have a helping hand around the house and company while Gabe is at work.  And of course the kids love her visits too! 

Around the house... not too shabby.  I need to clean the bathroom and tidy up a bit.  I've been enjoying some beautiful tulips and daffodils from Trader Joes the past few days.  

One of my favorite things... reading out loud to the children. 

A few plans for the rest of my week... tonight small group meeting at my house.  We are reading and discussing Mother Teresa's Nobel Peace prize lecture.  Tomorrow Ash Wednesday Mass, & SHEAF homeschool meeting.  Thursday small family Valentine's Day celebration and the weekend we are may try and do some yard work and spring cleaning if it's not too cold.
