Today's really our Monday despite being Wednesday. Toben and Emma were gone all weekend through late last night, so though the girls did some school stuff on their own, today's the first official day of school this week.
So we've been parked in front of the fire, reading, reading, and reading some more in preparation for all of the on their own stuff the girls will work on tomorrow morning while I go speak to the MOPS group at Cherry Hills Community Church.
My notes are highlighted and marked up just the way I like them, and I ::think:: I have an outfit all picked out.
Then I'm going to do my darndest to get Audrey to take a nap before she and Toben head to the TobyMac concert tomorrow night. Nope, I don't think it'll work either, but I'm going to give it a shot!
Emma does not love the late nights (which it will definitely be), so she and I had planned to stay home and have a night all to ourselves. Which is good, since she came home from San Diego with a horrible cold. I'm feeding her lots of Juice Plus and cold medicine, and wiping down every hard surface she touches with antibacterial wipes.
What else is happening around here?
- I'm making chicken hero for dinner, which is like a hot open-faced chicken salad sandwich that is just yummy.
- The fireplace has been on ALL day. Except for when Toben came in and turned it off. Then Audrey turned it right back on again.
- I got a 99 percent on my Greek midterm!
- I've been crafty--some of which I'll share, other stuff is a secret until Christmas.
- We're still in massive documentary mode around here. Audrey and I watched a National Geographic one about Siberian tigers the other night. Fascinating. At any point, in any conversation, about anything at all, you're likely to hear, "Did you know...?" from us. We are officially documentary nerds.
- Toben and Audrey are headed to church tonight to hear Ryan speak. I'd love to go, but with Emma's cold such as it is, she and I are staying home and going to bed early.
- Other than that, I could totally go for a huge, gooey caramel apple covered in dark chocolate swirls and nuts. Doesn't that sound good?
Think that's about it. Hope your evening will involve your favorite pjs and an early bedtime!
Great job on the midterm!! WOW!
So glad you are crafty. I bet you've missed in. I am going to sew a blanket for Cupcake in a few minutes myself.
Yes! The apple sounds very good.

Great job on your test! Fantastic.
Nice to hear your little updates. It seems as though the cooler it gets for you guys and the more you switch into autumn mode, the more it warms up here!

Congrats on the midterm grade! Your studying must surely inspire your girls. That's kind of a two-fer benefit!
Peace,
