Good Things

I am a little late with my "Thankful" post for this week. But, better than last week when I totally missed it all together and didn't even realize it until Tuesday! Maybe I should change this to another day? Nah, I will just try and keep up with what I have already started.

Today was a really fun day. It was a "work" (meaning NO school) day at the monkey boy's pre-school, so we had a play date with a good friend. A couple good friends actually, both his and mine! My friend (the mom) of his friend had this cute idea about making candy corn cookies. SO cute! They turned out very cute and it was fun with the kiddos and moms decorating the cookies. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera so I have no pics to share at the moment, but another friend there was a smart thinker and had hers, so she said she would be happy to share. I will try and remember to post those when they come my way. Super cute idea! So, that is what I am thankful for this Thursday....good friends, fun times and laughter. Oh, and that our kids get along too! I love that our kids get along and that our friendships are able to grow along with them. Not always able to have it both ways...


Happy Thursday......wait, Friday to you!

Thankful for the letter "A"

Today has been a pretty one full of much singing from the Monkey Boy! He awoke, singing all the way into our room. I cannot remember exactly what he was singing, but it was cute. Then, on the way to pre-school he sang about "A Bear Hunt" Something about "we're going on a bear hunt to find a bear with big green eyes and a fuzzy little tail" and such. Then, when I picked him up from school, all the way out to the car he sang "Apple Annie" Don't know if you know how it goes, but it's a little something like this: "Apple Annie, Apple Annie, how are you today-Ay? Tell me all the things you know about the letter A-ay! Alligator, Astronaut, trees that sway-y sway-Ay! Those are all the things that start with the letter A-ay!" I do not know the tune exactly, but oh how it made my day! Oops, didn't mean to rhyme there. :) Oh, and also on the way home...ALL the way home, we HAD to, just HAD to find 100 letter A's. Yuppers, we counted 100 (and then some) letter A's.The people in the cars around us must have thought I was nuts pointing to all the different signs with letter "A"!
Yeah, the letter of the week at school was "Aa", in case you hadn't figured that out yet. It was fun. I enjoyed all that about "A" and hmmm, yes, I hear him singing the "Bear Hunt" one again. I am SO thankful for sweet little sounds and songs of childhood.

Happy Thursday!

Thankful Thursday

Here's a little of a random conversation that took place in my car this week:

"Mom?"

"yes."

"know what's better than juice?"

"what's that?"

"chocolate milk"

"really? wow."

A few moments later...

"you know what's better than chocolate milk?"

"what?"

"you and daddy"

"Is that so? Wow, that's really something"

How cool is that? That is my "Thankful Thursday" this week - That I win out over chocolate milk! :)
