This and That
3:34pm
**
I ordered some of our school books last week. I am SOOOOOO excited to get them in the mail. I didn't order our science yet. Waiting on money... We are only doing science half the year this year anyway so I have until January to get it.
**
Anyway, I can't wait to smell that fresh book smell and to fill out my planner. I look forward to gathering a few school supplies. I need new markers as I let the kids just have at them and a few of the kids didn't put lids back on. It's okay though. I had those markers for at least 3-4 years. My kids (like most) seem to be very artsy... always wanting to write or make pictures. Thankfully Mike brings home different papers from work or we'd be in trouble.

Today has been a very relaxing day. Church was super. I have enjoyed Pastor's recent sermons on meditation. I thought it was super interesting last week when Mike and I missed church because we went to Mom & Dad Murphy's church and still the Lord spoke to us about meditation. That goes to show that if God wants you to hear it, you can't hide from it. :)

After church we came hom and had lunch... cheesy brats for some and sandwiches for the rest. Mike is out cutting our front yard and the yard next door. Nobody lives next door and the grass/weeds in some spots was over 3 feet high. We have an open house next Sunday and want the yards to look good. We'll see.

It's so quiet in the house rightnow. Chase is sleeping in his crib. Abigail is painting in the kitchen. Ethan is watching some sort of race cars/ Nascar on tv. (Not sure which one... I don't know my racing.) Blake just went out to dig in the back yard. Alison is hanging out with Ethan one minute and watching Abigail the next minute. The cats are both laying behind me on my bed. There was major excitement a few minutes ago as Ethan let in TWO FLIES and Siam was going crazy trying to catch them. I haven't seen them for a while and Siam is now back to doing the usual cat thing.

Okay, enough already. :) Here's a pic of Chase I took a few days ago.

Today I'm thankful for Tums, nice quiet days at home, and God's provision for our family!!

Chase is so cute. I like the picture of him smiling and then the one of him sleeping! I enjoyed reading your blog. I hadn't checked it in a while. Thanks for the update and "snapshot" into your home! :)
