Simply Today

FOR TODAY 3/12/09...
Outside my window... I am looking at the bird feeder and the windy sunny day
I am thinking... I wish I could get caught up on all this housework. 
I am thankful for... our health.  Even though my son is sick with a tummy bug, I am grateful that he will get well.  We do not have any long term illnesses.  I feel for those parents that have to watch their children suffer daily!
From the learning rooms...we have been studying snakes and birds.  Looking forward to being well so we can go outside with our field guides.  Today we are learning about being content despite being stuck inside with a sick little one.  Arianna is going to do the 2nd Lesson of Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons.  She also worked on some math addition this morning.  I am not a big worksheet fan but she enjoys “playing” with them.
From the kitchen... planning to cook chicken ceasar wraps and probably some soup for Ryan.
I am wearing... cozy black pants and green cotton shirt
I am creating... nothing at the moment, too busy caring for my sick boy
I am reading...Educating the Whole Hearted Child by Sally Clarkson, Raising Great Kids by Henry Cloud and John Townsend, 1st to Die by James Patterson
I am hoping... for Ryan to get well and no one else in our house to get sick
I am hearing... How The Grinch Stole Christmas Movie
Around the house... doing laundry and wishing for a house fairy
One of my favorite things... cuddling with my sweet kids
A few plans for the rest of the week: cancelled them all due to sickness...

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

We are all looking forward to spring here.  Can’t wait to spend our days outside in shorts exploring God’s creation! This picture was taken in our backyard right before Ryan got sick.
