Cay's Advent Daybook

FOR TODAY... from Cay's Daybook

Outside my window...

Christmas tree lights are gently reflecting off the living room's glass storm door.
I am hearing...

What Child is This?

I am thinking...

How blessed my family is and how thankful I am for it all.

I am thankful for...

my faith walk.

I am wearing...

blue polo shirt with blue pin-striped, white capris, bare feet, and day-old make-up.

I am remembering...

Past Christmases
This is my note to myself...

Actually I'm making notes to myself on my sidebar for Advent...so my plans don't get lost under the tinsel and fake snow.

I was...

busy turning my house into a minature North Pole all day...with lots of help from many elves.

I am reading...

Lessons at Blackberry Inn by Karen Andreola

I am creating...

Another Mother Missive for the 2nd Sunday of Advent

Did you see the one for this week?
I am hoping..

that this new liturgical year will be spiritually fruitful and thoughtfully up-lifting.

On my mind...

The true meaning behind Advent

From the learning rooms...

Planning easy learning weeks for Advent. A little bit of:

• Picture study
• Advent book reading
• Poetry
• Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus improvising this free unit study: Names of Jesus
• Free Symbols of Christmas Study
• Math

My list this week... is on my sidebar:

• It's Cookie Week here...looking for fun cookie book reading & selecting holiday cookies to bake
• Order Christmas cards
• Help write and mail Santa letter
• Help girls with Christmas shopping lists
• Pull Secret Santa Names
• Shop for baby shower gift
• Clean out girls' room
• Plan Christmas Menu

Pondering these words...

"I can only imagine..." song by Mercy Me

From the kitchen...

Lots of yummy leftover...I made a hamburger/mac casserole last night, husband made chicken fricassee for lunch today.

Around the house...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

And the little girls' room is complete. I'm excited! They're excited. Annie loves her "new-to-her" bed and where it's positioned and Chelsea is taking very seriously the task to keep the room clean and tidy. My "little" girls are growing up!

One of my favorite things...

Christmas Trees!
