Simple Woman's Daybook- May 4th

Monday, May 4, 2009

Outside my window...
It is warming up. I think our sunscreen and mosquito repellent free days are numbered.

I am thinking...
It is pretty cute when Reese wants to listen to my heart with her stethoscope.

I am thankful for...
My wonderful husband. I've used that one before, but I don't think I can thank God enough for the great man He made for me.

From the kitchen...
I actually have a meal plan for the week! Fish tonight; a new recipe in the slow cooker tomorrow with lentils (I've never had lentils before...we'll see); and a few other things from my Cooking Light cookbook.

I am wearing...
A light blue striped polo shirt and khaki crop pants.

I am creating...
Mara's baby book! I finally printed some hard pictures of her and I am starting to put them in her book.

I am going...
To find my husband a birthday present! Ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I am reading...
SOMETHING!! Before I got married, I read 3 1/2 Harry Potter books and loved them. I convinced Karl to give it a try and he has since listened to all 7 audio books. He has been on my case to hurry up and read the rest so we can discuss them. Last night I started listening to The Goblet of Fire. We also went to Half Price Books last night and Karl insisted that I buy The BFG by Roald Dahl . I started that yesterday and I think it should be a quick read. It'll be good to have it on the shelf when Reese is into chapter books.

I am hoping...

Everyone in my family is well soon. Both girls have a cough, Karl's back his bothering him and my mom and sister are sick. Yuk.

I am hearing...
Reese and Mara talking to each other. It's fantastic.

Around the house...
Karl and his dad finished our beautiful new desk! Karl just has to stain the shelves and then we need to reorganize the room.

One of my favorite things...
Reese's drawings. She's started drawing things and saying, "Here, I draw this for you." It's pretty cute.

A few plans for the rest of the week:
Find my husband a birthday present ASAP! My moms' group on Thursday (if the coughs go away), out for Karl's birthday on Saturday and then down to San Antonio on Sunday for mothers' day.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...
