Thankful +

(Wed) Thankful for another reason to get together with family!!

(Thurs AM) Thankful that all the food is preparing itself now, and we can all sit and enjoy the day (until, I suppose, the half hour before lunch).

(Fri) Thankful for shepherd's pie tonight, Upwords, Scrabble, gaming family members, voices of loved ones, crafts, ...

(Sun) Thankful for corn and bean salsa (C), the temptation of food in the kitchen (Kevin), full stomachs, water to fend off the cravings...

(Mon) Thankful for the beautiful sunrise that welcomed our family into "real" life this morning...Kevin to work, the girls and I home on our own.

Thankful for girls that are cooperating this morning, with each other! For a while they made MegaBlok cameras and were going to take pictures of things around the house and coming back to the sewing room to show me. Then they both decided it was time to use the potty. Then they decided to head into their bedroom and play "naptime". It got really quiet for a while and then I heard, "Mama," from L and "She'll be here in 5 minutes." from Kj. :) I waited about 5 minutes and then went in to check on them. They demonstrated how they were pretending to have naptime. After that they came out, looked at books for about 10 minutes and then I got the real naptime under way. What a pleasant day!

Along with all the previously mentioned "activities", I was able to bake some bread while they played PlayDoh. I sewed birds while they took pictures.

Also...Thankful I could help 5 people out by selling 2 cars.
