*Update, while I didn't do it all, I think I did more than I would have without the list.
Baking:
~ I'm going to make a batch of my chocolate chip cookies. Remember my plan for making cookies?
Hubby made them instead. He wanted to try out a giant cookie scoop. It's actually a big ice cream soup.
~ Italian Cream Muffin in a Mug
Decorating: All finished!
~ Finish putting out my Autumn decorations.
~ Wash up my autumn glasses. I found some more that match to complete my set at the Dollar Tree.

Harvesting:
~ I'll check for jalapenos in the garden. If we get blessed, maybe there may even be a tomato or two. It wasn't a good garden year for us. Tuesday ~ Nothing yet, we'll keep checking.
Canning or Freezing:
Reading:
~ Return to Me by Lynn Austin. It's a historical novel set in the time when the Persians and Medes took over Babylon from the Babylonians. It's the time of Daniel and the return to Jerusalem to build the temple. So far so good. ~smile~ I almost finished.
~ The Book of Sight by Deborah Dunlevy is my current read aloud with the children. As they get older, it's harder to get everyone together to read. It's just so important though. ~ I read a few chapters to the children this week.
Sewing:
~ Last week, I sandwiched a large quilt top that my husband's grandmother made. Upon inspection, I found that I had a large wrinkle in the backing. I need to un-pin and un-baste, then re-sandwich it. I'll only get this done if I spend some time at the church. I don't have a big enough area in my home unless I move the furniture out! ~smile~ I hope to have it in the frame by the end of the week. I enjoy hand quilting, but I haven't done it for many years. Too many children too quickly!~ My mending basket needs some attention, too. It always does with a family of five. ~smile~ I mended a pair of slacks for Lowell and a pair of gym pants for Amy.
~ If I am inspired and have time, I'll finish cutting out a new black dress with little red cherries on it.
Studying:
~ Trim Healthy Mama book
Working:
~ Photograph some items for my etsy shop, ebay, and my blog. I might just have Amy, my little photographer do it for me.
~ List some items in my etsy shop.
~ I need to work on an out-line for an upcoming writing project. ~ Very late Monday night, the Lord gave me a title which lead to a rough outline. I'm ready to narrow it a bit and begin writing.
~ Write a couple of posts.
If I finish all this list, I'll have been very busy indeed. I also need to spend time with my kids, teach, check papers, and do some ironing and cleaning. Thanks so much for dropping in! I'd love to hear some of your plans for this week. It's so nice to have a chat over the
