I WON!!!
For the first time EVER, I have won a give-away. I won this give-away over at Guiding Light Homeschool for a DVD. I won "A Walk In My Shoes" DVD. This is a family friendly movie and I'm so excited about it! We usually do pizza and movie night on Friday nights, so this fits right in in our family! Head over to Guiding Light Homeschool as she has other give-aways going on right now! Thanks, Dawn!

Yikes!
School's cancelled. Our daughter's ski trip is cancelled. I'm not sure what she is most upset about~the cancelled ski trip or the fact that she got out of bed and had breakfast only to find out 15 minutes before we would leave for school that school is cancelled. This is definately a day to stay snuggled in bed. Unfortunately....all of our children are up and ready to start the day! I think we'll snuggle under quilts and blankets and watch some movies, make popcorn and hot chocolate!
Have a warm day!
Blessings,
Added: I didn't realize that the above graphic updates as the temp changes. When I wrote this post, the temp was -11 degrees and the windchill was -25. I know that some of you have much colder temps regularly, but for us that is just plain COLD!!

The Simple Woman's Daybook
Outside my window... SNOW! We are expecting 3-5" today!
I am thinking...that I need to get an organizer to keep all the things running around my head organized and to get them done!
From the Learning Room...still trying to figure out schedules and each other!
I am thankful for...faithful friends who are also great prayer warriors!
From the kitchen...tortilla chip casserole, pudding, hoping to get a cake made for dessert!
I am wearing...jeans and Green Bay Packers sweatshirt (they did great this weekend!)
I am creating...finishing some burp cloths
I am going...to have to call the doctor to get appointments for our youngest 2 who have terrible coughs and colds
I am reading... Bible~daily!
I am praying...for guidance with some goals
I am hearing...Scooby Doo on the television downstairs, the heater running
Around the house...need to mop floors and fold laundry
One of my favorite things...quiet snowfalls~I love when it snows (as long as I don't have to drive in it!)
A few plans for the rest of the week...music lessons, and possibly doctor's appointments for our sick kiddo's
Here is picture thought I am sharing...

It's HERE!!
We finally received our curriculum in the mail for homeschooling our oldest son! We are all so excited to start....well maybe excited is only on my part. As my son said..."this has to be the longest Christmas vacation ever!" I think he's getting a little to used to it!
I must confess that once I opened the teacher's manuals, I started thinking "what was I thinking?" "What have we done?" "This was a very bad idea!" But I am trying not to let those thoughts take over my mind. There are many homeschooling families out there that have walked this path before me and with me. There are many in our little community and I am really looking forward to meeting them later this month. I have lots of questions. But one of the joys of homeschooling is we can make it whatever we want it to be. My son and I have already jotted down a "tentative" schedule and we'll see how things go. I'll keep you posted!!
Have a great weekend!
Blessings,
