I am thankful for ... READING

Little words, little sounds
Little verbs, little nouns
Little noises, little voices
Little people all around.

Learning letters
Sounding them out
Taking their time
Thinking out loud

Reading becomes fun
There is reading all around!
As the littles fall asleep
They dream among the vowels.

American Girl Dolls by Kendal

I am plastic, but I am sweet.
When I brush my hair it looks so neat.
My food is fake so I am always hungry.
When dogs lick me it feels yucky!

Everyone around me is a giant.
Sometimes I get a snack and try to hide it.
When the house is empty I wake up-
That's when I drink cocoa out of my cup.

I am an American Girl Doll-
Yes that's me!
And I'm as happy as I'll ever be.

Written by my daughter. :)

Life

I am thankful for the food I eat;
Others might not have such treats.
I am thankful for the air I breathe
Others cough, sniff, and sneeze.
I am thankful for my family
Others I see seem sad and lonely.
I am thankful for my land and country;
Others only wish to be free.
I am thankful for the flowers and trees;
Others can't enjoy the beauty I see.
I am thankful for my life full of joy and glee;
Others might be happy, but they will never be me.

Warm and Cozy

Heat in my car.  

A warm coat to wear.  

Finger-less gloves with mittens attached.  

Clothing and shoes,  

A place I call home, 

With blankets, couches, and soft cozy things 

To keep us warm.

Today I am thankful for being warm and cozy.

Today I am thankful for...

10:42 pm - Did I mention I LOVE the chair. :D

ToDaaaaaaaaay I am thankful for beautiful, breezy, warm days when I can have the screen door open and enjoy the backyard with the kiddos. We played on the swing set, strolled in circles in the grass, watered weeds, and made a mess. =)

Horrible blogger here stopping in to say hi! lol

I am thankful today for a husband who is willing to take time off of work to help me with the kids when we all are being seen by the doctor. I am starting to resent doctors for not coming to MY house when the babies are sick... Okay, not really. But, wouldn't that be nice? =D
