Posted on by Mary

Yes
that sky has been altered. Apparently i had a smudge on the lens that
affected the pictures..i was able to crop most of them but this one it
was right next to the bridge!


At dinner


GW bridge at night time…4 am to be aeact


Part of the city at 4 am on Monday morning

I
only got two shots of the kids. We really didn’t have an opportunity to
take pictures. We were supposed to go to the beach with friends who are
CEF missionaries on the island but their youngest son got sick so we
couldn’t get together!

FOR TODAY (Tuesday for Monday)…

Outside My Window…Sparkling lights….lots of them. To all sides. it’s four am Monday and I am in our truck heading home from NYC or should i say Long Island. There are lights all around me. from bridges to cars to the beautiful lights of one of my favorite cities!

I am thinking...I liked this church….not as much as some but a ton more that others..LOL we shall see!

From the learning room.Preschool stuff sitting in the corner of the den just waiting for next Tuesday morning as Tornado and I embark on formal education! He is ready and needs some form of structured time So this is it! Here we go!

I am thankful for…a husband who doesn’t get frustrated in heavy traffic….unless we are sitting for two hours creeping along at 1 to 2 MPH we think because of a Yankees game!!!! It’s a Long story! But even then he didn’t complain complain!

From the kitchen…Lots of things to put away. Hopefully some cookies for hubby’s lunch and maybe some potato salad with Bacon

I am wearing… Tan shorts and a white sleeveless shirt. and sneaks me hair is in a messy braid..Pretty good for 4 am!

I am creating…a round hot pad..(my first one) and can i say it looks more like a dolls tutu than anything close to a hot pad!

I am going…to my college where I graduated from and meeting up with my maid of honor and her hubby. They are expecting their first baby on Christmas eve and i haven’t seen them in 3 years!

I am reading…Parenting in the Pew. It’s a great book and I highly recommend it!

I am hoping...that we get a church soon or God shows us clearly another direction to head in! It’s hard doing this all the time!

I am hearing…Heavy breathing from the back seat as all 3 kiddos are asleep. Hubby and i are also having a great time talking!

Around the house…A LOT of unpacking to do! And then more repacking for this next weekend at my parents house in PA…Not to mention a few dishes that weren’t done before we left and some other minor things…Oh yeah and Laundry!

One of my favorite things...NYC..It’s such a neat place to visit. I have been to the city 3 times and to long Island 2 times. i Love it though I don’t think i could live in the city….but Long Island i can deal with!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:Cleaning cleaning and more cleaning…unpacking repacking and off to my parents house for Labor day on Friday..Saturday holds a trip to a local amusement park for the kids and my mom will go a long !

Here is picture thought I am sharing…

I don’t know about you but I love to-do lists. i have numerous ways i do this but the simplest way is to just write it on a paper and then put a check mark next to it!

Yep it’s that simple!

So here it goes..

All you have to do is post your to-do list for Thursday and place a check mark next to it when you’ve completed the task.
