Good morning!
Slept in a bit. My family went to a friend's house to watch the OU/Alabama game---sounds like it was intense! We have friends from Alabama (military) who just moved to Italy and they got up at 2:30 AM to watch over there. I think they expected Alabama to win, lol. Anyway, they all got home about 11:30 so even the kids slept in today. I made chocolate chip cream scones for breakfast.
Just remembered last night/early this morning that I had not ordered or bought anything for Micah's b-day. So I got online just now and got that done. His b-day is Tuesday so coming up quickly! He is wanting a volcano cake so I'll see what I can come up with. Morgan also needed a sketch pad for her drawing class starting the 13th, so I added that to the order. Maddy has enough extra drawing pencils and erasers to set her up to get started which is helpful since I'm kind of broke for the next few weeks.
It's a beautiful morning here. Today and tomorrow are supposed to reach the 50's, then we'll have another cold front come through Saturday night and cool down again.
On the agenda for today? Laundry! Haven't done much of that the past couple of days so need to do at least 2 loads of clothing today plus I think the girls need to wash their sheets. I also need to gather up our books and plan out our spring schoolwork. The older girls' Sonlight comes with a schedule, of course, but I need to plan a schedule for their extras and also work out a plan for the younger three. Though Max is a bit young for "real" schoolwork, he is very bright and needs to be occupied for part of the day so he doesn't busy himself making his own "fun".
Dinner tonight--thinking I will thaw some steaks and make baked sweet potatoes to accompany. Maybe roast some Brussels sprouts.
Janice-hope you can get your work done okay.
Bobbie, stay warm! Hope your muscle will heal up or you can get some answers...glad you were able to stock the kitchen! I know that is a relief.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
