This week at our house:

* I am waking up early again (5:45 a.m.) so I can have my time

with God before anything else. This time is so important to me and

it's nice to start my day in the Word. I am also able to clean, start

some laundry and start breakfast before the kids get up.

* School is moving along nicely. We are on week 8. We are still

reading Caddie Woodlawn for our read aloud. Once we are finished

 with this book we will go back to Five Little Peppers and How They

Grew. (I bought another copy at half-priced books)

* I made a homemade apple crisp for the first time yesterday and it

tasted pretty good. Next time I think I will need to add a couple more

 apples.

* C (8) made breakfast for us yesterday. She bought a Little House

Cookbook and made pancakes from the recipe in there. They were

 delicious.

* C (11) made us lunch yesterday. We had tuna salad sandwiches

and they were delicious too!!!

* I am still trying to potty train C(2). Some days are good and

others (like this week) are not so good. At times I think "Yeh!! He's

finally got it!!!" and then he goes back to going in his pants. Oh well,

 he's trying and that's all that counts.

* We are finally getting some rain today. The fall like temperatures

are coming too. I just love Fall.

* Today we have been indoors because of the rain. We usually spend

 most of our day outdoors. I think I'm going to take the kids on the

 porch in a little while.

That's about it for us this week so far. It's only Tuesday afternoon,

though. Much more to come later. Hope you are having a blessed

day!!

right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if

anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things."
