FOR TODAY
Outside my window, the sun is trying to shine through the low level clouds. It is already warm and muggy.

***insert 36 hour break here because school is out and the crowd is now home full time***

I am thinking of ways to keep the kids happy and busy for the next couple of weeks until the older 3 go off to camp. Hmm…pool?

I am thankful for the library and Garfield comics.

From the kitchen: more homemade bread from the bread machine — so happy I finally ordered the replacement kneader! It’s the whitest white bread ever and absolutely wonderful! At least I use unbleached flour. : )

I am creating a really great photoshop collage – finally!! After lots of false starts I finally got on a roll — more on that later.

I am going to bed soon. Can it really be 10?? Already?

I am reading two books on composition in art — still feeling a little unsure of myself in that area.

I am hoping for a sunny day tomorrow — planning a pool afternoon.

I am hearing Alison Krauss on iTunes — love her voice.

Around the house the dogs are sleeping the three little boys are sleeping and the big kids will be home from scouts soon.

A few plans for the rest of the week: try to find some kind of daytrip that I can do on Friday with all the kids.
