A few leisure things we don't add to our lists:
- Journaling (we both do a LOT. =)
- Read a leisure book (e.g. Viking Quest series, Louis L'Amour, A Life of Faith books)
- Time on the computer (check email, blogs, buzz, post, write emails, waste time, etc.)
- Play around on the piano (hymns, annoying Sonatinas that everyone's sick of, Pride and Prejudice music)
- Singing hymns in harmony with Laura, Bekah, and Daddy
- Play volley ball
- Watching Gomer Pyle episodes, Donald Duck and other cute, old-fashioned ones, old westerns, and war movies.
- Doting on the kitties
So, that's our average day! Of course, every day, there are the little different things that make each new day special - Sarah, Stephen and Gracie's visits, extended family visits, Phil's weekend visit, drawing names for Christmas, shopping trip to the Dalles, first freeze (last night!!), day spent in Yakima with extended family, and lots more.
"Enjoy the little things in life, for someday, when you'll look back, and they'll be the big things!"

Bravo, Bravo!! *clap, clap* You two are so driven and get way more accomplished than anyone else! I think I need to stick more closely to my daily to-do list...
Anyway, FUN post!! I think I'll do one like it :-D
P.S. I LOVE your blog background and font change... it makes it so much more bright and cheery! :-D
You are both busy, busy girls it looks like! I'm missing all of you so very much. It will be hard not to have you hear for our Hope Family Fellowship Events this year (or will you be here?:).
Hugs and Love, <3
