The End of Procrastination!

We got an early start this morning so I have a little time to update my blog.  Cody's working with Bethany on her math (fractions) and Dallas breezed through his math.  Bible and Spelling Power are also done!  Dallas is "reading" his current list book - I say "reading" because he sure is making lots of noise with the dog for someone who's reading! 

I've decided that what we'll do when the youngers get done w/ the math is clean off the table and put the quilt on it.  I'm going to have everyone work on quilting the cornerstones.  This will teach the boys a little hand sewing (could be useful in the future), sure up Bethy's skills, and get the thing DONE!  Well, except for the border, but I'm thinking about tackling that with the sewing machine!  You must understand, I started this quilt when we moved into my parents to help with my Dad back in 2001.  I'm SO ready to get it finished!  Also, I think Charlie's getting a little tired of all the material.  I used to have a system that organized all of it, but through the years I've accumulated more than I've used and I don't have the shelving system anymore.

Once we get this quilt done, I've got a pair of "crayon" quilts for Bethany's beds and a christmas quilt, both of which I started before 2001!  I didn't realize I'd been procrastinating, but today's the day when it begins to change.

I'll take a picture once Charlie gets home.  He took the digital camera to take photos of his new store.  He got a promotion and today's the first day we're allowed to say anything about it.  I'm so excited for him and have been praying that God would continue to bless him and to give him favor in the eyes of his bosses. 

Have a great day!
