Outside my window...gorgeous sunny blue skies - and I love it!! Spring is in the air and it's a wonderful feeling!! Two more weeks and the clocks spring forward!!
I am thinking...that the porch is NEVER going to be finished and that company probably has a list of excuses the length of my arm!!
I am thankful for...a short warm winter that made things so much easier this year! The wonderful Winter Olympics in Vancouver which gave us a focus in February. a fun date with Val ad James to look forward to tonight!!
From the learning rooms...so much happening and so many plans! March is a busy month with so many fun things planned. I got my homeschool funding cheque this week and now know exactly how much I have left to spend before the end of the year. I think I've already posted pictures of some things we've been doing. Abigail is also focusing on Black Beauty - reading the book and yesterday she started watching the movie - she'll probably watch the second half later today! She's busy Emailing a lot of people and has her own blog now. We've been enjoying the Vancouver Olympics website and learning about the mascots - enjoying the crafts and games on that website etc etc....Abby's favourite site right now is The Crafty Crow. The French Knitting continues....
From the kitchen...I hear voices - Denis and Mike are here working on the fireplace again. I wish the porch guys were as reliable!!! I made more banana bread yesterday and today we are making cupcakes which we plan to decorate green or red and white - in honour of Dr Seuss!! Yesterday we made slime.
I am wearing...nightwear because I'm still in bed.
I am remembering...last Spring and Summer and all the things we did - and making plans for this Summer. I have a few things I want to make/ buy in preparation. I have some homeschool funding still to spend so I am writing a list of things to buy.
I am creating...lists, journals, plans, goals.....sooo many lists!!! And changes on my blog!!
I am going...to HAVE to go grocery shopping because the cupboards are BARE.
I am currently reading...unschooling magazines...biographies on Beatrix Potter....
I am hoping...to get to the fabric store at some point in the next week for some 'boyish' fabric. I have plenty of girly fabric but need some for Sam.
I am hearing...water running in the kids bathroom as Abigail washes her hair.
Around the house...Lloyd is busy finishing the crown moulding in the front room. It is looking so nice in there. The fire place in the sun room looks lovely. Now the warmth has melted all the snow on the deck it is so great to sit outside in the sun and have my breakfast out there listening to the birds. It's a real sun trap and gets so warm out there.
One of my favorite things...coffee with Lloyd each morning before he leaves for work - that it's light so early now (before Lloyd leaves) and that it's not dark until well after 6:30pm.
