FOR the week of June 13, 2016

Looking out my window…  the sun keeps peeking in and out of the clouds while the wind does it’s best to blow things around.

I am thankful… for the longer stretches Thomas is doing at night.  My body is thinking it likes this sleep stuff and wants more while at the same time thinking it’s getting enough sleep at night to make getting a nap difficult.

I am thinking… I wish I’d had the presence of mind to get a picture of Matthew grilling the kabobs yesterday.  I’m not sure how Scott feels about sharing ‘his’ grill but Matthew is loving being trusted with this grown-up chore.

From the kitchen… supper tonight: pork chops with mushroom gravy over rice with green beans.

In the schoolroom… the introduction of new math concepts means long, mentally exhausting days for me (and the kids learning them) as I deal with high emotions and trying to figure out how to word my helping just right to get the concept across without giving them the answers.

In the garden… peas, beans, and spinach are sprouting. I love seeing the garden come to life.

I am hearing… 10am – Kara and Caleb teaching Ben how to really play Go Fish; 11:15 – Lydia, Kara, and Caleb working on math while Ben & Gabe play with playdoh and Thomas makes little noises while wiggling on my lap; 12pm – the DVD menu for What’s In the Bible? #3 (love these shows) while the kids get their lunches to eat while watching; 6:30 – Ben and Caleb playing instead of putting away their clean clothes, Lydia fussing about a dead bug while picking up toys, and Matthew trying to tell them all what to do while we wait for Scott to get back (why do people always call needing his help right as we’re ready to eat dinner?).

Around the house… trying to find space for some new bookshelves so we can finish unpacking/going through boxes from when we moved here 5 ½ years ago.
