Looking out from my back porch... more snow than Friday, but not enough for my boys to be happy about (ie. it’s not enough to snowmobile in the fields).
I am thankful for... a sense of peace, healthy kids, a warm home (Friends in a nearby city are affected by the pipeline explosion and have been asked to keep their thermostats at 60 degrees. The windchills make it so cold that some schools have cancelled class today and tomorrow.)
I am praying for... a better day tomorrow for Greg. He was stuck in town over the weekend due to the blizzard and because he was gone all last week, he’s having a hard time getting back into a routine for school. Mmmm, maybe I should just pray he finds a routine. Period.
I am hearing... honestly, one of my kids is screaming. I think it’s a happy scream, so unless I find out otherwise, I’ll just stay right here.
I am wearing… jeans, a long sleeve pink t-shirt, and flip flops (they’re my indoor shoes, regardless of season).
From the School Room... we did not get done with everything today. The two middle boys snuck outside and Angelina wanted to play with the youngest two; Greg….sigh. Tomorrow is another day.
From the Kitchen... banana bread (I actually posted the recipe on my food blog – because it was just that tasty), Chocolate Cake Donuts by Zeke for National Chocolate Cake Day, and Chocolate Chip cookies by Angelina and Louis. I think Louis mainly taught Marcus how to dip fingers in the bowl for sampling.
From the FarmYard… lots of eggs. I’ve started sizing them. You wouldn’t believe the Jumbo eggs some of the hens have been laying.
A successful moment… organized my school closet, office files, & pantry. I purchases some of those vacuum space saver bags for Angelina – WOW! 5 feet of costumes, tutus and tulle condensed into mere inches. Well worth the investment to reign in the clutter that is her closet.
A few plans for the rest of the week…
Monday: dance lessons for Angelina, wrestling practice & FFA mtg for Greg
Tuesday: wrestling practice for Greg, Zeke & Graham, Eric has meetings all week
Wednesday: wrestling practice for Greg
Thursday: wrestling practice for Greg, Zeke & Graham, dance for Angelina
Friday/Saturday/Sunday: wrestling practice for Greg, I sure hope we are able to have religious education classes this weekend,
A picture memory...
Marcus up close and in motion.
UPDATE: I suppose this could have been a post for Febraury 27, but I thought it might be less confusing to correct the title and list January as the month! Imperfection...indeed.
