It is Almost Christmas {Simple Woman’s Daybook 19}

Outside my Window …
It has turned cold; the sky is cloudy and misty.  My wonderful husband is cutting firewood.

I am thinking…
It is so quiet when all the babies are napping ..

I am thankful…
for weekends with my family.  My husband works a schedule that he is able to come home early on Fridays, so that is the beginning of our “family time” weekends.  They are wonderful, and I will always cherish them, I know the kids do as well!

In the kitchen…
There are packages to be returned on the counter, my big pot needs to be washed, and dinner isn’t planned!

I am wearing…
My pajama pants and an Arkansas tshirt.

I am creating…
Well, I was making a shirt for my daughter, but for the life of me cannot figure out how to make the placket .. so, moving on to the girls’ Christmas gowns!  haha

I am going…
to have a relaxed week this week, and get organized for school tonight.

I am wondering…
what I am going to cook for dinner.  Nevermind!  Hubby just said tonight we will “go to town” for errands, dinner out, and Christmas lights at the botanical gardens.  I will take it!

I am reading…
Been trying to work through my devotional!

I am hoping…
The kids nap really good so we can stay out late tonight!

I am looking forward to…
Well, tonight now!  But every day.  Every day is such a blessing with our little family.  It is so corny, and so true.  I mean, I get frustrated and lose my cool sometimes.  But mostly I am in awe of them.

I am learning…
How much fun my 3 year old son is.  Honestly, his first years was tough because he felt so bad, his second year was tough because he was … well, 2.  But this year so far (3 years old) has been amazing and fun!

Around the house…
The Christmas tree stands without lights or decorations because I keep forgetting the lights.  The ones from last year are all dead; only the mantle is decorated.  There are Christmas gift boxes from all the family piled up in my room and closets, and frankly- I am ready for it to all be over!

A favorite quote for today…

One of my favorite things…
a fire in the fire place!

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Get school ready for next week, get a few Advent activities completed, make it further into my Mom devotional

A peek into my day…
Just imagine me in my PJs with a hot cup of tea. =)
