I am creating... Nothing, but maybe soon.
I am reading... Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson
I am hoping... We don't get sick.
I am hearing... Micah taking a nap and Nathan eating lunch.
Around the house... I need to clean, we are having friends over tomorrow morning.
One of my favorite things... Is reading to my boys.
A few plans for the rest of the week:
Monday- Play
Tuesday- Play
Wednesday- Bible Study/ Church
Thursday- LIFT (homeschooling class)/ Life Group
Friday- Daddy's home, play, play!!!!
Saturday- Church
