My Daybook

For today, Tuesday, January 5, 2010

On My Mind...starting to plan our Disney trip! We're going to book it this month!

Outside My Window...cold, cold, and more cold!!!!...4 inches of snow from the last snow storm this past weekend...supposed to another snowstorm on Friday.

What We're Reading...I'm putting aside Vivian Stringer's book while I read the books for the L.M. Montgomery Challenge, starting with Kilmeny of the Orchard...Tucker's favorites this week were Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett (a requested re-read), Chicken Dance by Tammi Sauer, and Ice Palace by Deborah Blumenthal.

What We're Listening to...almost finished with Queen of the Underworld.


What We're Watching...just the old standbys.

I am hoping...to sleep better tonight; I woke up at 4 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep!


A Funny Thing...we met Julie and her family at a local restaurant for dinner Saturday night. Tucker was so excited about Jake and couldn't stop talking about him on the way home! A sample :"He's six months younger than me, you know. I will always be older than him. He can get taller or fatter but I will always be older" "when we go to FL I can see Jake's room. we can play army or star wars"

Quotable Quote..."Winter, a lingering season, is a time to gather golden moments, embark upon a sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle hour. " ~ John Boswell

In the Kitchen...chicken tonight...McDonalds on the way to soccer practice tomorrow...homemade pizza...not sure what else.

Around the House...the usual laundry issues...dryer and dishwasher running...the tree is still up.

Coming Up this Week...soccer practice tomorrow night...Pinewood Derby Sat morning...soccer game Sun.

Some Picture Thoughts...we watched City of Ember New Year's Day and when watch movies, we spread blankets/pillows out on the floor. Tucker was being silly!

This was taken when we went out with Jul and her family. L-R Tucker, Jake, and Madi
