Praising God for . . . another day, a friday! friday is craft day here.
In prayer for . . . keeping my head above water
I am thinking . . . I should go shower after Crossfit workout and getting mesquite pollen all over myself picking grapefruits
I am thankful for . . . Adam taking the littles to the zoo today; RS temple night last night
From the Learning Rooms . . . ugh. Not nearly enough going on here. Late Spring burn-out. But i recently did a Gee's Bend reading unit with the little girls and they are designing quilts based on that. Also reading lots of spring-related garden/growing/insect books with them.
I am wearing . . . workout clothes: running shoes and white socks, black knit capri pants, white tee, ponytail, pollen in my hair
I am creating . . . been working on Emmy's First Year Project Life book and the family 2014 book. ready to quilt today!
I am going . . . to Laird's Pinewood Derby race tonight.
I am reading . . . finished Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy by Karen Foxlee last night. Simply Beautiful. Also read Leaving Gee's Bend by Irene Latham earlier in the week - a good human interest/history read.
Scriptures I am studying . . . 3 Nephi, Christ's visit to the Nephites
Family Scripture study . . . Book of Job
I am hoping . . . to find some sewing time. So many quilts to finish and start.
I am hearing . . . Macey's laughter ring through the house and the noise of kids puttering around on a Friday morning as they get going on school work (big kids) and get ready for a day at the zoo with Dadam (littles).
Around the house . . . cleaning up the usual messes. Downstairs has been cleaner lately but the upstairs is a nightmare. Adam made another laundry tower in the kids' hallway. I have no choice but to tolerate it. Somehow there is also a huge pile of laundry all over the laundry room floor.
One of my favorite things . . . all the yellow palo verde blooms everywhere right now
A few plans for the rest of the week . . . Laird going to Garren's bday part on Saturday. Gene coming over for another discussion with the missionaries on Saturday night.
Here is the picture thought I am sharing . . .
