For Today... Outside my window... the sun is shining brightly, the leaves are a beautiful color, and the chickens are roaming around in search for food. I am thinking... about Lauren reciting Julius Caesar this morning to the other kids and them laughing their heads off. It was kind of funny! From the learning room... busy, busy, busy -- Lauren and Andrew are reading their first play by Shakespeare, Julius Caesar; For science --- Andrew is reading about Mammoth Cave, Lauren is learning about the skeletal muscle system in anatomy, Morgan and David are finishing up studying the human digestive system (gross!); For history --- Lauren and Andrew are studying the central event in history: Jesus, by studying the Gospel of Luke along with their history book, and then Morgan and David are learning about the last western frontier. Whew! It wears me out just thinking about it. I love it though! I am thankful for... new friends ... thank you Lord! From the kitchen... country pork chops with corn on the cob (in the crock pot now -- it smells so good!), fried okra, roasted new potatoes, and Texas toast --- good ole Southern food. Yum! I am wearing... my pajamas, but I will change before Jeff gets home. I am reading... The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara -- among other things. I am hoping... for a pretty week, so the kids can get outside. I am creating... my two week menu, so I can start on my next grocery list. I am hearing... crunch, crunch, crunch --- as the kids eat their lunch. Around the house... it's time to drag out the kids' winter clothes and see what will and won't fit, what needs to be kept or given away/passed down, and what might need to be added to their collection. One of my favorite things... autumn -- the cool, crisp air and the colors of the leaves, it's my favorite season. A few plans for the rest of the week... school lessons of course, CBS (Bible study), haircuts for us girls, homeschool co-op, dinner with friends, and watching the Alabama game Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
