FOR TODAY Monday 21st July ...



Outside My Window...


The sun is shining after the rain last night and it is looking like we are in for a beautiful day. Maybe we can walk to the library instead of driving?





I am thinking...


Of all the things that have to be done today. The first Monday after Hubby goes back to work is always a busy one as I have to pull all the routine of school and jobs back into our lives and the weeks holiday is over!



I am thankful for...


The huge pile of wood Peekers cut up before he left - it should last us for the 2 weeks he is gone and keep us all snug and warm.



From the kitchen...
Hopefully I will get a HUGE pot of pumpkin soup on to last us for the next few lunches.





I am wearing...


Black maternity skirt and stripy maternity top. Not for looks but for comfort! I have reached the point where none of my "normal" clothes will fit (even my big 0nes) and it is full time maternity now!



I am creating...


Scrapbooks - I have 8 months to clear out our home and get organized for a move so hope to have all my photos in albums and no longer in lots and lots of boxes! I am starting year by year and also adding to the girls baby albums as I go.



I am going...


To have a fantastic week this week - we are starting Mr Poppers Penguins as our read-aloud and I have planned out what we are going to do each day. We are going to lapbook it using some of the things at Homeschool Share.



I am reading...
I have finished all my books at the moment and hoping for a library visit this afternoon to replenish my reading supply.





I am hoping...
For a smooth week as I really need to start getting our life back on track!





I am hearing...
The quiet noice of the girls working at their school work.


Zebra is making a book based on the Very hungry Caterpillar, Duckie is working on her Math-U-See work, Bunny is stamping having finshed her ss work, and Monkey is in bed after eating some stamps!





Around the house...
The washing has piled up (alwasy does on our week of holidays!). This week (according to flylady) is Zone 4 the master bedroom and boy does it need to be de-cluttered! Baby steps - 15 min a day and by the end of the week a beautiful bedroom!





One of my favorite things...
Being organized and planned out at the start of a week!





A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
Library day today, Highland dancing starts on Tuesday, Mr Poppers penguins read alound and lapbooking as already mentioned. Should be a good week.
