Outside my window... Sunshine & 80s
I am thinking... change is good. Decluttering the home is good. Getting rid of unused or unneeded things is GOOD. But, I am laughing that Bud told me that this was supposed to be done in the SPRING - especially when I recruited him to go through the clothes he isn't wearing because they are too small!
I am thankful for... electrical outlet covers!!
From the learning rooms... I am working on devising an incentive plan of some sort that rewards things getting completed without having to be told what/when to do it! I NEEEEEEED to do something for this!!
From the kitchen... my "big meal" plans
Tues: was hoping to do some kind of special kids' movie and a meal (Pops is out tonight) - it might be grilled cheese or quesadillas?!?Wed: Beef... stroganoff??Thurs: away at the coast.Fri: away at the coast.Sat: away at the coast???Sun: SalmonMon: Pops' Birthday cake!! (and something he wants for "real food")
I am wearing... A khaki sporty skort with a green knit top
I am creating... uncluttered spaces/cabinets/closets
I am going... to the post office after a while... and maybe taking the kids for ice cream after our movie and a meal - we'll see how it goes!
I am reading... AlphaPhonics (with Blossom)
I am hoping... that the reading bug hits Blossom upside the head soon. She can do it but is at the point where each word is still a struggle.
I am hearing... complaining about learning to read from Blossom.
Around the house... how does a nice and neat very tidy home go to shambles in one afternoon??
One of my favorite things... fresh produce - yum!
A few plans for the rest of the week... school, library, coast, camping??
Here is a picture thought I am sharing...

Sometimes the kids don't want to clean up because they love their creation so much... SO, I took a picture of the block tower creation so it would be remembered! What do you to to help with all the kid creations?!?!!
To read more daybooks or to join in the fun, head over to Peggy's.
Oh Elm. I can so relate to all those creations. Things that took hours to create, that they want to play with later. Can't we just leave it up....forever? Taking a picture is a great idea. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy kids do that, too! They create very similar things with blocks and insist that they be left so we started doing just what you do--we take pictures of them!! How fun!
ReplyDeleteWe take pictures too. And all must be cleaned on Tuesday and Friday night because Wed and Sat is heavy cleaning day otherwise I just vacuum around it.
