~The Simple Woman's Daybook~

For Today... November 9. 






Outside my window... overcast and unseasonably warm.  A nice November day!





I am thinking... about a big shopping trip later this week.  Chel and I sat down and wrote out a master list this afternoon.



I am thankful for...kids who love to play together.  Becky had Aaron in an empty laundry basket and was pulling him around the house.  He was a little king and she was a horse.  These are things to treasure, my friends.





From the learning rooms...Only a 2 1/2 weeks until Thanksgiving, so we're trying to pack in a lot of learning.  We'll take the week of Thanksgiving off to cook and to have fun together.





From the kitchen...Beef stew and homemade buttermilk biscuits for dinner.





I am wearing...a jumper with a white t-shirt.  Warm slippers on my feet. ;0)





I am creating...what I hope is a love of learning in my children as we do school together. 






I am remembering...several people that have medical issues and need prayer.  Some from my area and some from the internet.  What a privilege it is to come together in prayer for the brethren.





I am going...to the library for a few books and movies.





I am reading...The Mother at Home by John Abbott.





I am hoping...to get together a few ideas for the next 2 birthdays coming up.  My baby will be 2 and my oldest will be 17.





I am hearing...Chelsea practice scales on the piano.  Lessons tomorrow.





Around the house...Laundry, laundry, laundry.  It never ends....




One of my favorite things...My family all together.  I know that those days will end soon, but I'm enjoying them while they're still here.




A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...Piano lessons, our big once-a-month shopping trip, then home again, home again jiggity-jog.  :0)





Here is picture thought I am sharing...

My sweet 1 year old boy eating a "bapple" outside.  I had forgotten how sweet this age was.  I'm thankful the Lord gave Aaron to us so we could remember the joys that being a toddler can bring.  :0)
