My Daybook ~22 June

***

Outside My Window … HOT. Bright blue skies. HOT. Bright green grass. HOT. Fluffy white clouds. HOT. A warm summer breeze. Did I mention HOT?
***

I am thinking … I HATE conflict.

***

I am thankful for … God’s grace and strength to continue on doing this work He has set before me

***

From the learning rooms … Learning to be loving and kind via 1 Corinthians 13, reinforcing it with our words and actions and the book The Hundred Dresses

***

From the kitchen … using up the 11 pounds of strawberries I picked Saturday (with the baby on my back, I hasten to add)–1/2 gone already just from eating them!
***

I am wearing … a white knee length skirt, a bright pink top w/ a light pink nursing underlayer, and right now I’m barefoot, but I was wearing these shoes But rats, they weren’t on sale when I got them!

***

I am creating … fun scrapbook layouts–I recently did one using the pictures from the Butterfly Palace and one from Mother’s Day: don’t know what I’ll be in mood for next!

***
I am reading … re-reading Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands for me, assorted magazines…Country/ Simple and Delicious/Our Iowa, The Little House cookbook (and am continually astounded with Ma Ingalls!)

***

I am hoping … I get to see my beloved grandma as much as possible while she’s here in Iowa for her two week visit

***
I am hearing… Anne of Green Gables on CD

***
Around the house … got the strawberry out of assorted articles, drying on the line, floor mopped, dishes done…it’s a start anyway!

***

One of my favorite things … air conditioning (as long as it’s not too cold, because I have to take a blanket to the movies!)

***
A few plans for the rest of the week …Park date, listen to my husband’s band tonight, Grandma to my house for an overnight, hopefully a trip to the grocery, brunch here, story hour, Aviana’s first dance class for the summer

***

Here is a picture thought I am sharing~

I’m having trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that in a scant month, I’ll have a FIVE year old and ONE year old! Come to think of it, he looks an awful lot like that almost five year old.

I don’t think he looks very much like my almost THREE year old, but this picture makes me smile! Real big!
