Soccer Pics

Just thought I'd share pics of my handsome soccer players. Too bad I don't have any of Cory like this from Cross Country.



Simple Woman's Daybook for October 19th




This is hosted by Peggy at Peggy's Daybook.

Outside my window...it's dark already but the sun was out earlier and it was actually warm!

I am thinking...about my nice, warm bed.

I am thankful for...hot tubs and saunas lol.

I am wearing...tan slacks and a black shirt.

I am remembering...that I need to call my mom.

I am going...to enjoy a treat if I can find one after the boys go to bed. Bad mommy!

I am reading...I'm actually between books at the moment. Very rare indeed lol. I have to go to the library.

I am hoping...the boys are all better and don't need to miss any school!

I am praying...for the health and finances of my loved ones!

I am hearing...the tv and J talking to Ty about the Animal Planet show they're watching.

On my mind...my friend Stephanie and her boys in Haiti.

From the learning rooms...Ty came home early with a fever. Everyone else is now sick too so school tomorrow? Looking pretty iffy.

Noticing that...my puppy is crazily chasing the cats. Awww, he just wants to play.

Pondering these words..."One man in a thousand will stick more close than a brother...
Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide the shame or mocking or laughter,
But the Thousandth Man will stand by your side to the gallows-foot -- and after!" from "The Thousandth Man" by Rudyard Kipling.

From the kitchen...I made a taco bake/mexican lasagna for dinner. YUM!

Around the house...things are settling down after a busy day.

One of my favorite things...hearing one of the boys say, "I love you, mom!"

A few plans for the rest of the week...soccer, school (hopefully), finalizing J and L's adoption!

From my picture journal: "Don't you dare ever show that to anyone mom!!!" OOOOOPS!
(Not sure if you can see it but that's L's Pooh hat he's wearing LOL).

Simple Woman's Daybook for October 12th




This is hosted by Peggy at Peggy's Daybook.

Outside my window...it's dark already and cold.

I am thinking...about my boys.

I am thankful for...recent answered prayers.

I am wearing...green slacks and a green shirt with floral print.

I am remembering...how much I love my family.

I am going... to tuck in Jay as soon as I'm done with this!

I am reading...The Revenge of the Spellman's from the Izzy Spellman series.

I am hoping... to get a permanent teaching position SOON!

On my mind...my sister and her dd.

From the learning rooms...the boys all had little homework tonight. Agendas were quickly signed and put away.

Noticing that...we seem to have nearly skipped fall and gone straight to early winter!

Pondering these words...lol nothing comes to mind right now.

From the kitchen...I made salsbury steaks and baked taters for dinner tonight.

Around the house...it's warm and cozy.

One of my favorite things...the smell of wood smoke and cold air (although it's too early for that).

From my picture journal: Boys will be boys!

Mean Mommy

I finally did it. I cut Ty's hair. Short. Ty won this battle for ages because I like his hair longer too; I just hate that he doesn't take care of it. So I'd warn him but had trouble following through. Recently, though, I was sorting through pictures and I remembered how much I like it short too. I gave him one last warning, he didn't believe me, and this is the result...
