Outside my window…the sun has finally set.  These summer days stretch on so long.

I am remembering…our family trips to the beach when I was a kid.  It was always an all day affair.  My favorite part?  Curling up on the blanket after lunch, under the big umbrella and falling asleep, completely worn out from the sun and water.

I am thankful for…delightful childhood memories.

From the learning rooms…We’re reading and loving Sonlight’s 3/4 year old program.  Such beautiful stories and wonderful ideas!

From the kitchen…tuna pasta salad.  Nothing like a cold salad on a hot summer day.

I am wearing…pajamas…after this, I’m off to bed.

I am creating…nothing but ideas and dreams in my head.

I am reading…For the Children’s Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay…now I know why this is on everyone’s recommended reading list. 

I am hoping…for sweet dreams for William and Joseph.

One of my favorite things…hearing someone say “thank you.”

A few plans for the rest of the week:  A morning at the playground, a trip to the beach, a visit from a favorite person. 

Here are some pictures I thought worth sharing…

On the 4th of July, we got out the sprinkler…it certainly gave Joseph a surprise!  William calls it “rain.”
