What is going on at our house today...
What we are doing:

Today I am tackling school and a test-also as if you didn't know that already!
Love ya!
Oh. I missed this yesterday. Your day sounded nice though you failed to mention a nice hunk of your day on the phone with your mama.
Today as I type we're winding down, but SOME of the things we did:
Mom:
did Neesie's assignment sheet for two days.
graded quizzes and a test
made cottage cheese pancakes(breakfast)
made chili for dinner
made corn muffins
cleaned bathrooms
did some laundry
swept front porch
took a walk
made a blog post that seemed to take forever because I would type a little and then go do something else and forget about it.
talked on the phone to two old friends who called
reading: Holiness by J.C. Ryle and the One Year Christian History book
Writing: Did none again. Got to get to it!
Dad:
Cut the grass
Spent a large amount of time still tinkering with an old lawn motor. Glad because it's keeping him occupied.
Neesie: sent hers separately
All together: Just had family devotions. Thank the Lord.
Just had family devotions
Goodness, I believe you got a big burst of energy. Your little Lena is such a happy, sweet, busy little girl. I've been missing my computer for a few days. My son-in-law brought over another monitor tonight. At least I can get on here now. :)
