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...

1:00 pm - Search for a chair on Craig's List.

1:05 pm - Find a chair that is exactly what I had in mind.

2:00 pm - I can't stop thinking about this chair.

3:00 - 5:59 pm - Still thinking about the perfect chair.

6:00 pm - It's MINE and I am so VERY THANKFUL!!!

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

Tonight my hand is burning from editing drawings all day. Sometimes I wish I could just *think* and WALAH!... everything is how I want it to be in my head. But no, I have been clicking the mouse to the computer for the last 2 hours after a full day of "off and ons". I have to stop and think that I would not have this crippled hand (ok only how it feels =) if it weren't for my book orders. So I better stop complaining and start being thankful for business. So tonight, hurting hand and all, I am extremely THANKFUL for the book orders that made this possible. =)
