Monday Meanderings - Nov. 15

Bible Study... This week in order to really holding myself accountable, I want to write one thing in my journal every day from something I read for the day.  One verse (or more) or a thought.  Anything.

Memory Verse... Ephesians 6:4

"Do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."

Husband Encouragement... 

* Bake something yummy.

* Keep the home quiet so he can sleep during the day.

* The house is tidy and the laundry is almost completely caught up on--keep it that way!

Train Them Up... 

* We posted a list of "family rules" yesterday.  And now that they're posted and we've had some time to sit down with the kids and really explain our expectations of them, I'm hoping it will help us be calmer in our disciplines.

* Complete 2 more crafts for our wall of art in the playroom.

Personal Goals... 

* Carter's 10-month pictures!

New Habit of the Month...
Sweep the dining room after meals.

MUST Do...
* Mail thank-you notes out.
* Figure out pirate costumes for the kids??

Zone... 
Ceiling fans badly need vacuumed and dusted!  I did the living room last week and it looks sooo much better, I'm feeling more motivated to do the office and our bedroom.

Menu - TBD.  Kevin's working nights til Saturday so it'll be easy meals here this week.

* It's getting really close for a few babies to be born!!  I'm getting really anxious!!

3 things I'm thankful for today... In the midst of it all, we can ALWAYS choose to be thankful!
1. Kevin's dad came this weekend to help work on the tractor and put up snow fences.
2. We got to spend an afternoon/evening with Paul and Holly!
3. A tidy home.
