Looking out from my back porch... it’s cloudy, windy, and dirty-looking. I’m glad the snow is melting, but that layer of dirt between snowstorms is currently exposed.
I am thankful for... peaceful music, quiet moments, a cup of tea, fresh eggs, grinning toddlers, helpful kid cleaners … and that the end of the school year is in sight.
I am reading… a Christian novel, ‘Render Unto Caesar’ (Archbishop Chaput), Cooking Light magazine and a few other magazines on my stack.
I am hearing... ‘The Hours’ performed by students at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary.
I am wearing… navy t-shirt, jeans, tennies
From the sewing/craft room (aka. laundry room!)… Zeke made a rocket out of marshmallow, jelly beans, a chocolate kiss and toothpicks (part of his Aerospace study for 4-H).
From the school room... as I said, the end is in sight. We’ve doubled up the days on some subjects so they’ll finish before Easter. Then, we’ll be able to concentrate more on 4-H projects and animals. We are discerning whether to add Tae Kwon Do for all the kids (except Louis, and the instructor said he’d like to meet Graham before giving the go-ahead). Dash already has his black belt, so we are familiar with the routine. There aren’t many activities that encompass all one’s children within the space of a couple hours. This appeals to me.
From the kitchen... made a huge batch of Knuefla soup this morning.
A successful moment… Eric and the kids made great progress on moving the ‘stuff’ from our house garage to our detached garage in preparation for my brother to install shelving in a couple weeks.
A few plans for the rest of the week…
Monday: First trial day of Tae Kwon Do lessons for kids, library visit in Valley City
Tuesday: Continue cleaning out the garage
Wednesday: Ortho appt. for Dash
Thursday: Second trial day of Tae Kwon Do lessons for kids
Friday/Saturday/Sunday: My mom and my sister’s son (1 1/2 yo) will arrive to visit for a couple days, 4-H meeting and tour of the local greenhouse.
A picture memory... the boys showing off their marshmallow rockets.

That's pretty impressive that Dash has his black belt!!
ReplyDeleteOur kiddos and Tom are up to their camoflauge belt.
They all love it.
Angela won't join for a while, but Clare finally joined and is liking it. She tried it in the fall and just wasn't ready.
Good job on the cake Angelina.
