Monday DayLook: October 20, 2014

Looking out my back porch... it’s sunny today.

I am thankful for... good friends, my family’s good health, the fact that I can homeschool, living on a farm, fresh eggs.

I am reading… I’ve started reading this blog because while I’m not really into ‘fashion’, I would like to be able to combine what I have to make nice outfits.  I really appreciate Cyndi’s style…and she’s Christian.

I am praying for...  a young man who was in a serious car accident and has many months of recovery ahead of him.  Also praying our country’s leaders are able to make wise decisions and thus contain the Ebola virus that has now entered our country’s borders.

A random thought… I’d just like the members of my family, who are old enough, to pick up (and keep picked up) their OWN belongings.  Is this really such an impossible request/wish/want?

A favorite quote… “No one in the world can alter truth.  All we can do is seek it and live it."  ~ St. Maximilian Kolbe

I am hearing... the two youngest rolling around on their plasma cars.  This noise is worth it…yea, I know it can be hard on the floors, but my sanity and their ability to get out that extra energy is well worth it.

From the sewing/craft room… I’ve been thinking about Christmas & holiday crafts.  It seems early, but the time goes so fast.

From the School Room... we are pluggin’ away.  Graham and Zeke are staying on top of their subjects and doing great.  Angelina finds grammar, science (Biology), and Latin challenging this year, but I think it’s good for her to be challenged.  Most years, she doesn’t find the school work too hard.  Greg is does well, when he’s consistent in doing his work every day.  And therein lies his challenge! 

From the Kitchen...  I would so like to spend more time in my kitchen! I’m craving soups and baked goods.

From the FarmYard… we are almost ready to merge the chicken flocks.  This is probably the longest we’ve let the young flock stay in the Wahoo.  But, Fall has been so hectic.

A successful moment… making it through the month of September felt gratifying. 

A few plans for the rest of the week…
Monday: stayin’ home, FB practice for Greg every day of the week

Tuesday: dance for Angelina

Wednesday: stayin’ home

Thursday: dance for Angelina

Friday:  NDSCS Diesel Days for Greg & the Bishop is in town to bless our newly remodeled rectory.

Saturday/Sunday: Football playoff game for Greg, 4-H Awards Program

A picture memory...

September 2011 – WOW…have they all changed.
