Cooking

I was finally in the kitchen today. As the boys did some school at the bar. Math takes forever it seems.

Daughter is going to choir, mommy is off to knitting with a very dear friend.

So the boys have the house, well things needed to be ready for them so....

Chicken Divine

Fresh made bread

Buttermilk pie

All made with Love for my men...

Was going to post pictures but I didn't care for how they came out so the imagination is going to have to work this time.

Off to knitting I go, to have such a good time with some wonderful ladies.

FOR TODAY April 6, 2009

Outside my window it is cloudy as though rain is about to bless us today. We are in drought that has placed bands on open fires. The breeze is drying the clothes on the line quickly even no sun is shinning.

I am thinking of our school plans, changing our schedule so that we are placing more emphasis on God. Math is very important but if we aren't putting God first then where are we with out him we are lost.

I am thankful for all the blessing that God has bestowed on my family this past week.

From the learning rooms we are incorporating Bible Truth, math and LLATL. Then we have strings today we are almost ready for our next recital

From the kitchen I am thinking about a quick meal for dinner since it is 7:00 by the time we get home. Last week we all stayed up to late and we were all wore out from working and playing hard

I am wearing my teddy nightgown not ready to get dressed just yet.

I am creating the same fabric bag. I messed up and had to take it apart. I am also knitting a scarf for my MIL, I did finish the scarf for my niece. Have a list of scarf request just need the yarn to complete.

I am reading Math answers with my eldest son found he gets more correct if we check the answers as he does his lesson. We are almost done with the text book and the math is getting harder. Needs more attention paid as you are doing the problems. Always has been so easy that he could speed thru the math with out much attention paid. Takes the stress out of it for him and gives him some mom time that the younger children receive more of.

I am hoping God blesses us with more work, it has been a very hard. This time of year we have a couple more things we must pay.

I am hearing the washer spinning the silents of reading.

Around the house I have a candle lit that smells so calming and happy. School is the buzz for today

One of my favorite things is the smell of a fresh clean home.

A few plans for the rest of the week: to have a calmer week this week get back to concentration on school

Here is picture thought I am sharing this is my sister and her family at Christmas. I miss her a lot we live far from each other. One day I pray we will be able to be closer in all aspects. My sister is so very important to me!

5 ALIVE

April 1st

I see all the wonderful work my husband has done on our home for us

I hear children talking amongst themselves as one perpares a cake for daddy

I smell dinner cooking spaghetti for me and ribs for dad

I taste the berry wine I am having as I await dinner

I feel a long day coming to a end very soon.

My kitchen as concrete counter was being put in. Painted the back splash to look like slat.

To view or be part of 5 Alive please go to see Peggy at The Simple Woman here

Today was trash day

Not really just cleaning the boys rooms. This one of 3 was the worst. Look I can find the floor now. 1 trash bag full came from here. I see though he could not help himself for long by the picture of pants and hanger on the floor already. Training in the works, with a little boy that just loves his little treasures he finds everywhere.

Out of time for the classroom and laundry today. off to strings we go.

Crop Duster

On Monday as I was post my Simple Woman's Daybook I kept hearing the crop duster very close more so then normal. The kids and I went out to check it out. This is what we saw. He was coming right up over our house. They planted cabbage this year in new field. Just at the end of our road. But nerving for me but the kids really got a kick out of it.
