Homemaker's Journal: Monday, September 26, 2016

THE WEATHER THIS WEEK...

Current temperature is 67 degrees and the skies are cloudy, though rain is not expected. Temperatures for the week will remain in the upper 60's and may reach 80 degrees. Thunderstorms are expected on Wednesday but may come as early as Tuesday. Rain will continue through the end of the week.

AROUND THE HOME...

Woke up to a clean kitchen, but a messy living room. The boys have been busy playing with cars over the weekend. 

AGENDA FOR TODAY...

Week 8 of our homeschool year begins. We are doing an additional review of spelling, as my daughter seems to have forgotten how to spell words she has previously spelled correctly. We will begin a new math lesson later, though she is currently working on handwriting and wants to hurry up through the pages and get to the part where she learns "fancy writing". Because it is a cloudy day, I am looking forward to getting cozy on the couch and reading with the children this afternoon. 

A PEEK INTO MY WEEKEND...

They're having fun, I promise. The little one has learned how much fun it is to torture his older siblings with tickles.

A FAVORITE QUOTE FOR TODAY...

"How much of life do we miss by waiting to see the rainbow before thanking God for the rain."

--Dieter F. Uchtdorf

PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...

Bridget will be turning 7 years old this Friday and is so very excited. She has put in her request for cupcakes and the grandparents will be celebrating with us.
