For Today...

Outside my Window...Fall is settling on us so quickly.  the air is crisp, clean smelling.
I am thinking...of all I want to do and how I need to prioritize things better - first comes schoolwork, then comes my hobbies!
From the learning rooms... we are settling better into studying God's word together, developing silly hand and body movements to help memorize Bible verses.

I am thankful for...the many blessings we have recieved this year, the bountiful harvest our friends have shared with us.
From the kitchen...how about from the pantry?  I have been restocking the pantyr, as i've neglected it lately.  On Sunday afternoons, I go through the sale papers and make a list of the four local grocery stores and who has what on sale, so that later in the week we can pick up the sale items. 

I am wearing...blue lounge pants and a blue shirt.

I am reading...varius books of the bible

I am hoping...for a wonderful weekend visit with my brother, his children, his girlfriend Jennifer, and her children - a full house!

I am creating... a new wool purse for my mother in law for Christmas

I am hearing...Isabella playing with pots

Around the house...we'll be gong through all the winter gear, making sure everyone has what they need.

One of my favorite things...is the smell of fresh baked goodies

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...go through the winter gear, bake bread, can carrots, freeze squash, put up the Baby crib - Sarah has been 'sleeping' in the Bassinet - ok, really, she sleeps in my bed, but it is there if she needs it!

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you... I found this purse here: http://www.e-patternscentral.com/detail.html?prod_id=3537&source=EPOTDE

and hope to make something similar for my Mother in Law as a Christmas gift (SHHHHHH DON'T TELL HER!)

Blessings,

Hope
