Outside my window...the sun is just starting to set upon a beautiful, but very hot day! Will these triple digit temps 'ever' go??? I know they will - I just wish they would hurry a bit more.
I am thinking...I could sleep for 12 hours tonight! Avery just left after being here for a week, & she kept us busy.
I am thankful for...this past week with Avery. We all enjoyed her so much.
I am remembering...'carnival' night that we had for the kids Saturday night. We had so much fun! There were 'rides' (I was one of the rides!), games, lots of food, balloons...such a fun night.
On my mind...the Reece Cup dessert that's waiting for us in the kitchen. :-)
I am pondering these words...these words between Emily & I -
"Mommy, do you know how much I love you?"
I ask her "How much?"
"All the way up to heaven!" she replies.
"Mommy, is heaven as high as you can go? Cause if you can go further, then I love you up to there."
From the learning rooms...I accomplish so much more when I make 'to do' lists. I've just started this, & my iPad has made it fun.
From the kitchen...it was dinner out tonight, so nothing to clean up in there. Dessert will be enjoyed there tonight though.
I am wearing...blue capris & a Pooh tshirt.
I am creating...some graphics.
I am going...to enjoy my evening of relaxing. I'm looking forward to the Dancing With the Stars season premiere.
I am reading...my Bible, & a few books on my iPad. I've transferred all my books from my Kindle to it, & bought a few more. The interactive books for the iPad are 'unreal'! It makes reading so much fun!
I am hoping...my son gets one of the jobs that he's applied for.
I am hearing...Emily singing, & Elliot excitedly telling Mike how good he's doing on a video game.
Around the house...sooooo quiet after a week with Avery.
One of my favorite things...having these evenings of nothing planned except settling in to enjoy it.
A few plans for the rest of the week...catch up on sleep & some housework, go through a couple of closets & majorly declutter them, send out some snail mail, enjoy my family.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing...Emily showed me this today, & told me "Look! I made the leaning tower of Pisa!"
