Blessings From Home

Wednesday at Home

The fall weather is really rolling in! What a blessing it has been to me. I am not a big fan of the summer heat, especially while pregnant. I have been actually having to put on a sweater in the morning. We haven't had to have the air on in over a week and don't anticipate turning it on for the rest of the year. That's a big praise, especially as high as our electric bill was getting.

The other blessing of fall is that we are spending a lot more time outside. I love being outside, but during summer, the heat keeps us in, and in the evenings the mosquitos keep us in.

The last couple of weeks have been busy, but not with anything exciting really. I've been doing a lot of cleaning and decluttering. Also working on our homeschool schedule and tweaking it a bit to make it fit us better. I went to the doctor this week for my glucose test, and a checkup and as usual everything is normal, praise God. I go back in 4 weeks and I'll be 32 weeks.

I've been crocheting and knitting away lately, another favorite fall time activity. So far I've made a hello kitty doll for my sister's birthday this week, 1 wool soaker for the baby, and a dress for a naked baby doll I brought home for one of the girls. Still on the hook or needle right now is another wool soaker, a small knitted baby blanket, and a knitted scarf. I'm not starting any more crochet/knitting projects until these things are done.

I've been working my way through all the boxes and decluttering as I go. I do a little in every room every day. I can't wait until I unbury my sewing table and machine. Some other things I'm working on is making my Christmas lists, gifts to make, things to buy, goodies to make. I'm starting now, so that by the time our little one makes his arrival, I will be all done with most of the Christmas preperations.

Well, I've mumbled on enough for today, it's time to get to work. We'll just be hanging around the house doing our usual for Wednesday. Homeschool, desk work:preparing bills, making menus and shopping lists, etc. Then we'll go to church this evening, I think. For dinner we're having spaghetti, garlic toast, and some salad. I pray your day is a blessed one!

Another Okie!

Hi, I'm new and saw that you are from Oklahoma. I'm in Edmond. Born and raised in here. I left for about 10 years but came back to my roots. Congratulations on the little one! What projects are you going to start once you declutter your sewing table? Looking forward to your posts!
