Isn't it pretty? It was so yummy. (I didn't make it!)
-good friends for my kids

TMD6 or Mr. A Turns Two

Today I'm thankful for a very pleasant birthday for the Little Fella. He was delighted with his train table and played with it all day. We went to Chickfila for lunch, and let the girls choose a couple of little gifts for him. Grandparents came over for dinner and cake and more gifts. I think he had a great time!

I totally swiped these pictures from Facebook so that brings me to my second thing: grandparents with whom we have wonderful relationships, and who are ever ready to take pictures of memorable moments.

TMD5

Today I'm thankful for:
-heavy snow melting pretty quickly and not breaking any more branches off of our tree
-a good last-day-of-being-one for the little fella
-my niece HJ who is 12 now and a super help to me when she comes over
-my treadmill
-our new coffee table

Just kidding! But for serious, I'm thankful for awesome post-Christmas clearance deals that translate to birthday gifts on the cheap for Mr. A. I can't wait to see his reaction when he sees his train all set up on his new table.

And what are you thankful for today?

TMD4

Today I'm thankful for:
-my dad. Today's his birthday! We got to see him a couple of months ago.

 

He likes to watch old movies and tv shows, and often will text me lines of dialogue from what he's watching. Sometimes it's because it's funny, and sometimes it's so I can guess what he's watching. I like that he thinks of me, because I always think of him when I'm watching a classic comedy.
-being able to communicate almost instantly via phone, internet, etc.
-a little nap this afternoon. I don't get to do that very often!
-these girls. They are best buds.

TMD3

Today I'm thankful for:
-someone who generously volunteers her time & resources to teach an art class to friends & family. The girls have learned so much this year, and have had such fun.
-my slow cooker
-hearing all three -- that's right, Mr. A too -- sing along to the "Star Wars" theme song. They haven't seen any of the movies, of course, but thanks to their geeky dad they know that song. It tickles me to observe them being like Daddy.
-our nightly ritual of checking on sleeping kids.
-my newest favorite thing: toddler boy in plaid pj pants. With bare feet. I can't even.

Thankfulness Month 4.0

It's that time again! Time for my annual Thankfulness Month. This blogging thing has really fallen by the wayside; during last year's Thankfulness Month I thought maybe I'd gotten into a good habit but that clearly was not the case. I should probably do some kind of catching-up post ... one of these days ...

Today I'm thankful for:
-my people (I <3 font="" them="">
-coffee coffee coffee
-leftovers for dinner
-blogging from my nice warm bed on my smartphone
-a heated mattress pad
