Monday Morning

FOR TODAY June 1, 2009...

Outside my window...Sunshine on my maple tree leaves, blue sky, the tiniest of breezes

I am thinking...about my week - trying to plan so it won't be too crazy. With more end of school year activities we are on the go lots right now.

I am thankful for...so many things. Little things like a crochet hook and fine alpaca wool - big things like a home to clean and a husband who works hard!!

From the learning rooms...wrapping it up for the summer - just a few more small things to finish - I'm so glad, we all need a break!!!

From the kitchen...Not really sure - going to work on my menus next - I noticed I've switched to warm weather cooking lately. Yum!!!

I'm wearing...a summer skirt, coral colored T-shirt and sandals

I am creating...a mobeius style wrap with some beautiful laceweight alpaca - I'm also starting a project - using chalkboard paint right on my kitchen wall and framing it. It should be a cute way to put up my daily schedule. (If anyone has any great tips - let me know - I've never done anything like this before :0)

I am going...to the fruit stand, fertilize my flower pots and vegetable garden, the hardware store to get my chalkboard making supplies

I am reading...I have a bunch of books to read - our church decided to use the church library for a Sunday School room and gave away the books to anyone who would like them - so - I grabbed a bunch - but I've been so busy I fall asleep before I get two sentences read (I think I've been reading the same two sentences for about a week :0)

I am hoping...I figure out how to use my new camera soon. It's a bit more complicated than my old one. I can't quite figure out how to get the pictures out of the camera into the computer. Hubby will show me soon (he out of town for work right now)

I am hearing...birds singing, kids talking in the living room - it's pretty quiet for the moment

Around the house...Tidy up, hang laundry outside, plan those meals, a bit of weeding (hopefully)

One of my favorite things...Walking around my yard first thing in the morning - seeing what happened in the garden since yesterday (although finding baby plants chomped by a slug isn't fun to find - but it is part of the adventure!!!)

A few plans for the rest of the week: Wednesday evening - Kids club BBQ at church (last Wednesday church for the summer), Thursday evening - Choir concert rehearsal, Friday evening - choir concert. All fun stuff but I will be glad when this is done!!!

Here is a picture I'm sharing: This baby girl has finally grown TWO teeth - yahoo Esther!!
