Hope Continually -- Psalm 71:14

Monday was a short work week - yay!  We did our school week Monday - Wednesday at the church.  We did not have Aaron and Reagan this week due to the holidays and their families being out of town/off work.  It was nice to have a week just our four girls. :) Monday started out beautiful - nearing 60 degrees!  We even were able to open the door for a little while to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. I got the Abeka school DVD's ready to mail off at the UPS store.  Finished the first set of DVD's - always a good feeling! Also completed the second grading periods for Summer and Sierra and mailed those off to Abeka Academy.  Another accomplishment! It was also cleaning day for the church building.  Since there would be no weekly activities, I was able to get the cleaning done early in the week which always feels good! Monday evening...helping Sierra with her division.  Sometimes math is more fun on the chalkboard than h...

As autumn seems to be nearing an end for 2015...these are five things this week I am loving... Monday was one last warm day of 60 degrees to enjoy before snow and cold hit again.  Love these days when you can! A clean building - a job well done.  Clean spaces give me a peaceful soul. :)  Love! Our daughters do the Job Chore Chart online and it keeps track of points they have earned for doing their chores.  For example, emptying the dishwasher is 5 points.  When they reach a certain amount of points, they can choose from different rewards.  One reward is 1,400 points is $5.  Addie worked and saved 5,600 points and asked if she could order a new Bible on Amazon with her $20 reward.   It took her a long time to earn that and it was awesome to see her spend it on a new Bible.  Love! Snow falling outside...fall tablecloth...burning candle.  Love! Lamb gyro and rosemary homemade steak fries.  Love!!!...

Some weeks, you're not sure how you keep your head screwed on straight.  That was this week. :) Monday was babysitting and school.  I also had a photo job as well.  I am always grateful for my photo jobs.  Just one small way the Lord blesses me personally. :) Always good to start off with a favorite snack - Combos!  LOL! No, Baby Aaron!  She says.  Ha!!  These are two kiddos I babysit. This is what I do for photo jobs - take pictures of new construction for inspection companies that need them for lenders. My husband was in Los Angeles on a speaking engagment Monday-Wednesday morning.  Monday evening, we had a fellowship at Qdoba with the ladies of the church.  It is nice to get together and get out. :) Tuesday was babysitting and school.  Someone didn't feel well.  She fell asleep doing her videos. We had piano lessons at 1-2:30pm and then we went shopping for items for our family photos. ...
