Memorial Day-Book

Outside my window...
It's partly cloudy, warm, good "first weekend of pool season" weather. In the garden I've torn out some broccoli that was past it's prime to put in a few heirloom tomatoes that I got from Walmart of all places.

I am thinking...
about summer, about some fun plans to focus on the littles in the coming months, about fixing up the house for sale (or stay)

From the learning rooms...
We have officially ended Sonlight's Core 4. I'm about to pack it away after I get off the computer. The only hint that we were studying that era now are the lingering picutre books about WWI and WWII and the Holocaust. Boxes for Katja is my favorite and makes me cry. As soon as I buy a few supplies (which may take me a looong time getting them at Michael's with 40% off coupons ;-P) we are going to start Along the Alphabet Path. But right now we are enjoying having Daddy home for a day, and taking a short "good weather" break school-wise.

I am thankful for...
A dh that is patient and forgiving, warm-but-not-too-hot weather, new birds at the feeder, new sandals and swimsuits for the girls.

From the kitchen...
Leftover pot roast, fresh garden salad

I am wearing...
long light blue/white checked shorts, light blue top, hair up in a headache inducing ponytail. I need my hair cut!

I am reading...
Serendipity's blog, and just started A Thomas Jefferson Education off my shelf

I am hoping...
my dh and kids are having fun at the pool...that the baby takes a good long nap but still goes to bed easily tonight

I am praying...
for wisdom...for my grandmother...for my family...for many intentions from around the internet

Around the house...
I'm about to put away last years books and pull out what we'll use next

One of my favorite things...
quiet. ahhhhhhhh...

A few plans for the rest of the week...
another trip to Michael's for more sketchbooks, putting away winter clothes and other things in my new bins

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
Whoops, no picture thoughts, wrong computer. :) Just imagine a tall girl in a new striped bathingsuit doing a cannonball. ;-)
