FOR TODAY (October 27,2008)...Outside My Window...The sky is overcast and it is cold today! The leaves are absolutely gorgeous!
I am thinking...we have a busy week ahead and I want to make sure I don't get behind on my responsibilities.
I am thankful for...Old Fashioned Day at church yesterday. The children and I wore the costumes that I made for our Williamsburg trip earlier this year. Last night, the service was lit by lantern lights and it was just beautiful. The message really spoke to my heart.
From the learning rooms...We are ending our 1st quarter this Friday and we are sooo excited! We are taking a week off next week and really looking forward to our election unit study and some down time. I will be planning next quarter also.
From the kitchen...I will be starting my applesauce and apple butter today, the house will smell delicious ;o)
I am wearing...a brown skirt and cream colored top.
I am creating...a meal plan! (one that hopefully I will follow this week)
I am going...to my mother-in-law's house for dinner this evening. It will be a fun time. We go about once per month for dinner, but October is always special because she makes her yummy pumpkin patch for dessert...a real treat that the children always look forward to.
I am reading...Proverbs. I never tire of Proverbs. I sometimes read it along with my Bible Reading Plan, or sometimes if I have gotten burned out on it (sad to say that I do sometimes get burned out on my reading plan), then I read it to get refreshed. Probably one of my favorite books in the Bible.
I am hoping...to begin quilting. My great-grandma was a wonderful quilter. She is 97 now and can't do it anymore. She has made beautiful quilts with wonderful stories behind them.
I am hearing...
Around the house...almost everyone slept in...a usual Monday thing. I let the children sleep in a bit and our schedule begins a little later on Mondays and Thursdays (after being at church the evening before).
One of my favorite things...getting everything done that I have set out to do in a day. I have such a sense of accomplishment. I wish it happened more frequently ;o)
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:Tonight, dinner at Mother-in-Law's house. Tomorrow, soup dinner and Revival service at some friends' church, Wednesday, our regular church Bible study, Thursday, NOTHING; Friday is our church plant Bible Study, and Saturday is our Family Fun Night, just us here at home.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
I took this last night at our lantern service. I thought it just looked so pretty.

This week was the first time we had a meal plan we actually used. Usually we make them up and never use it. It was great to know what we were having and when. Have a great week.
I love the idea of old fashioned day at church.... that just sounds like a fun and simplistic idea!!
Very nice pic! Mmmm, your house must smell wonderful!

How practical, to have a later sleep-in after an evening out to church. Sounds like you know how to keep the smiles around..=) I've enjoyed reading your DayBook! Your old-fashioned day sounds really nice.
