FOR TODAY... Monday November 2, 2009
Outside my window... it's a beautiful day... warm and clear.
I am thinking... about a couple of boxes that I'm waiting for... my new MacBook Pro and a box of diet food.
I am hearing... boy and grandfather scheming about a trip to the ice cream store.
I am thankful for... my Dad. It's his birthday this week. He's a great dad and a great grandpa. I'm not saying that he doesn't drive me nuts and that he doesn't interfere in our parenting, but I wouldn't trade him. I should pray for him more.
I am wearing... the summer "uniform" - black cargo capris, croc flips, and my wild yellow and bright colored tee shirt.
I am remembering... a silly outfit that I used to wear when I first met Surferman. A white long sleeved shirt, navy tights and red/navy plaid shorts. I don't know what I was thinking. Must have been some leftover preppy. Do you remember any silly outfits you wore?
I am going... to celebrate my blogoversary this week. Four Years! I should also be hitting 600 posts. Watch for a giveaway later this week.
I am reading... same as last week. It's slow and I haven't been taking any extra time to read.
I am hoping... that the new comforter cover that we bought is going to stop shedding someday. It's flannel and has been leaving fuzz everywhere. I washed it and it's still very linty.
On my mind... all the fund-raising they do at Grom's school. Just today, three opportunities to spend money came home. Do they really need all that money?
From the learning rooms... books about the ocean, ships and sea animals. It's "g" week at school.
Noticing that... my desk is so messy that now I'm putting my computer on top of a pile of papers.
Pondering these words...
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV
It's from our message on Sunday. Today Grom was lollygagging before school. He told me that everything in his life was too tempting and that it kept him from listening and doing what he was supposed to. Oh, the things God teaches me through my son.
From the kitchen... tuna noodle casserole tonight. It's a favorite that we don't eat very often. Please don't tell Grom in has tuna in it.
Around the house... marshmallow gun wars. We bought my dad a couple of marshmallow guns for his birthday. Way fun. It's surprising how scary it is to be shot with a mini marshmallow.
One of my favorite things... picking Grom up at school and getting the chance to be the first one to hear about his day. Today they went to a play of Charlotte's Web. It was a man in a pig costume... not a real pig.
A picture to share...
Another of the sunset shots. I love Grom's reflection in the wet sand and evident joy he gets just running around at the beach. We need to hit the sand more often.
Read other Daybook's at Peggy's Blog, The Simple Woman.
He had just popped the first piece in his mouth.

Monday
Here's the first pair I made with Deborah. They are made with recycled variegated red glass beads. I'm pretty happy with my first effort, even though they hang a little crooked. Up for grabs.
These are delicate pink striated glass beads. Sorry these are mine.
These simple single bead earrings are a peachy crackled bead. Mine too.
Another simple pair... a rosy tan faceted bead. Up for grabs.
These are clear striated beads. They are alot like the pink earrings above. Very pretty and up for grabs.
These are fun golden brown recycled beads. I think Erika wants these, if not they are up for grabs.
Last pair, clear flat round beads, they are quirkily imperfect (I might have made up the word quirkily). Up for grabs.
53. ORANGE pumpkins
54. GIANT pumpkins
Grom's homework. It was E week. He included a photo of his buddy Elias and his grandma Elaine (who he colored like a clown for some reason).
Monday
I fear he gets his seriousness from me.
40. hot roasted corn with lemon and parmesan cheese at Farmers Market
47. a fast trip to a barber shop and a little boy who sat so still
48. going to the drive-in with my boyfriend for a wild, meatball filled double feature
50. Grom's optimism and confidence in his lego creations... why wouldn't they want to put a picture of his house in Lego magazine?
51. Miss Sandra who is happy to wear a Grom scarf
Monday
We have a fun Five In A Row book to read this week, How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World by Marjorie Priceman. It has a bunch of books to read along. It will be a week full of apples, other apple pie ingredients and the far away places they come from.
