We are currently reading Tom Sawyer. It took some doing to find it at the library. I had to go to the adult fiction section. (What's up with that?) The kids are enjoying it though. I knew they would. We are also memorizing the Beatitudes. We are studying a new one every day and having some cool discussions about them.
I'm waiting on a couple of packages. I ordered some bibs for a friends baby gift. I also ordered my daughter and myself some Crocs. I can't believe I actually ordered the ugly shoes but they are sooo comfortable. I am only going to get away with wearing mine when I'm not out with dh.
The other package I'm waiting for is the free samples from Rod and Staff. I'm thinking of using their readers and may look into a few other things as well. I'm looking into simplifying my life a bit next year.
I can't wait till spring. I'm going to have a yardsale and have junk piled high in the sunroom. It is irritating me terribly. I want the stuff gone but we could really use the money. So I'm holding off on the household purge till spring. I do so want my sunroom back though.

Nice Weekend
think this was the first weekend in a very long time that we actually got to spend time at home~doing nothing! We were lazy. It was great! The guys played Monopoly while my daughter and I worked on our scrapbooks and watched Tales from Avonlea, Season 1 (on dvd). It was fun. Even Leon and the boys would pause their game to watch some of the better episodes.
I love to read LM Montgomery's books on Avonlea. My favorites are the ones with Anne-all grown up. Tales from Avonlea is cute. I would so like to have grown up in a town like that. I love the clothes and lifestyle; so simple and clean. Except, I start to think about all the hard work and I change my mind and enjoy the pleasures of the 21st century. I think I'll start reading the "Anne" series again. That is when I've gotten to the bottom of the stack of books I just got from the library.
Speaking of which, I'm reading the next book in the Torie O'shea Mysteries. They are written by Rett MacPherson. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this series. Basically, Torie O'Shea is a genealogist but a wanna be detective. She's a wife and mother in a small town in "New Kassel" Missouri (town is made up). Anyway, they are exciting and suspenseful but not in a "I can't sleep because there are things hiding in the dark now-what was that noise?!" kind of way. I can relate to the main character as a wife and mom. Well, I can probably go on and on about the series. I'm on pins and needles waiting for the next one (releasing the first week in March).
It's been a pretty lazy day today too. Dh is home and has been playing basketball with the kids for the majority of the afternoon.

Ugh. Yesterday was terrible. It was going well at first. Until I was getting my stuff together to leave our co-op and the kids came running in "Mom! We have a flat tire! What are we gonna do? Are we gonna drive on it? Can we blow more air into it?" A FLAT TIRE!!! I can't have a flat tire I haven't even finished half of my errands. I called roadside assistance. After my tire was changed, I took the van to the dealership to get the orig tire patched. Thursday school was over at 3:45 and I wasn't done till' 6:30.
I had to go pick my daughter up from my friends house (wasn't home for her to get dropped off after ballet) and then we went to the library. We met dh for dinner. He took the kids home and I went grocery shopping at 9:00 pm. I was determined to be HOME today.
So now here I am, sitting sharing a cup of coffee with my e-friends ;-) . Mmmmmm cofffffeeeeee. It's so yummy. I using Millstone's Breakfast Blend and Coffeemate Hazelnut Cream~sugar free. I've decided I don't like the sugar free as much as the fat free. I use more per cup with the sugar free. Still it's yummy just extra white.
I should be:
-doing laundry
-educating children
-cleaning my bathroom
-getting on top of kids to do their jobs
-organizing closets
-ironing
-filling out paperwork
-updating computer (calendar, HST, and Quicken)
But I'm not. Maybe later I will. Right now this is so much more fun. Don't get me wrong that stuff will get done...eventually.
Dh recorded last nights Grey's Anatomy for me. I haven't watched it yet. I sure hope it's a good 'un. He also recorded ER. Ya, that hasn't been so good lately. Rather boring actually. Last weeks was so so. Maybe this weeks was halfway decent. If not I'm takin a break.
Well, coffee's gone :-( , guess I'm off to actually DO something.
