OUTSIDE MY WINDOW...A wonderful, warm Spring day

I AM THINKING...How nice it is that our current Duty Station still has the 4 seasons, although, I wouldn't be sad if the next one was Hawaii

FROM THE LEARNING ROOMS...We're taking a few days off with Daddy.

I AM THANKFUL FOR...Kylie's new friend, Dr. Gilchrist

FROM THE KITCHEN...We had turkey spaghetti tonight. I think I'll make some vanilla pudding in a few minutes.

I AM WEARING...My peach capri pants again, with a navy blue top...Kylie was just making fun of my outfit a few minutes ago :)

I AM READING...Believe it or not, I have not read a thing today

I AM HOPING...Our trip home to Cincinnati goes quick and easy (that's hoping for a lot, with 2 adults, 6 kids, and 1 doggish-cat)

I AM CREATING...I just "created" a grocery list for Brian

I AM HEARING...Bubba and TJ playing in the tub, the dishwasher running, the dryer going, and Alex, Melman, and Gloria singing Happy Birthday to Marty

AROUND THE HOUSE...Cleaning and packing for our trip...also going through lots of baby clothes to return some to Rikki and Baby Greyson

ONE OF MY "new" FAVORITE THINGS...Looking at Korinne in her new glasses.

A FEW PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...Finish getting ready for our trip...to homeschool or not to homeschool for 3 days this week...maybe get a haircut...I need to go to Kohl's and buy a couple shirts..."Orchestra Day" at the library tomorrow...Ben needs to get into our pediatrician's office to see about his formula...a little busy, I guess

HERE IS A PICTURE THOUGHT TO SHARE WITH YOU...

FOR TODAY...Monday March 16, 2009

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW...Getting warmer, and sunny...the children are outside playing, yay!

I AM THINKING...About all we will need to do to plant, upkeep, and harvest a garden...hoping we can manage.

FROM THE LEARNING ROOMS...Jonah and Jewels

I AM THANKFUL FOR...a military that pays my husband for his service...a military that takes care of it's families, knowing it's not easy to be left behind...realizing it should not happen too often...some families in this world are not so blessed.

FROM THE KITCHEN...A pork tenderloin is in the oven, I'm going to toss some carrots, potatoes, onions, and tomatoes in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and roast them as well.

I AM WEARING...Peach capri pants and sandals!!!

I AM READING...Sense and Sensibility, Managers of Their Homes (again), and James

I AM HOPING...The weather stays nice.

I AM CREATING...A vacation itinerary...to be e-mailed out soon to all those involved.

I AM HEARING...The girls doing their dinner chores, and Wesley and Benny dancing to the Laurie Berkner band

AROUND THE HOUSE...Star Wars toys everywhere, some laundry to put away (just a little, I'm doing better), the kitchen floor needs mopped

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...How my boys CONTINUOUSLY bring me in flowers from outside as they play :)

A FEW PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...An ultrasound Friday!!! Sooo excited to see and hear our new little one!

A PICTURE THOUGHT TO SHARE WITH YOU...

"Syrup do"
