For Today… November 30,2009
Outside my window… cold…COLD… COLD.
I am thinking… it’s funny how Chrismtas decor makes the winter weather seem cozy instead of dreary.
From the learning rooms… getting back on track after a week off for Thanksgiving. Making letter writing a part of our regular routine. Gotta keep the dying arts alive!
I’m thankful for… my cup runneth over. I’m overwhelmed by all the gifts in my life.
From the kitchen… simple things. Making a big effort to include three little girls in all of the happenigns of the kitchen. I have a tendency to want to do it all myself … Miss A made her first batch of biscuits solo tonight! (well, with a little input here and there)
I am wearing… nothing exciting. As usual.
I am reading… this and that. I’m in one of those phases where I don’t feel like mentally comitting to a whole book.
I am creating… well, the adorable ornaments are finished…now onto the rest of the Christmas projects. I’m getting a little nervous that it won’t all be done in time; but I refuse to think about that.
I am hearing… hombre’s channel surfing. His A.D.D. is definitely most evident when he has the remote in hand.
Around the house… I’m feeling a ridculous obsession with keeping the house spotless at all times so I can really enjoy the Christmasy feel. It’s definitely an unrealistic fantasy. To keep the craziness under control I’ve decided to move my efforts outside to the backyard. In my opinion, a neglected yard makes the winter days feel even more gloomy.
A few plans for the rest of the week… friends coming over tomorrow (yay!)… a sweet couple invited our whole family over for dinner on Thursday (what a treat!), our ladies Christmas dinner at church Friday night 
… if Hombre’s feeling indulgent this weekend maybe we’ll go downtown for some more Christmas festivities!
Here’s a picture thought I’m sharing with you…
Writing our first letters to our art pen pals.
