The hope of snow. Glue. Un-birthday.

January 5, 2017
Day 116

Thankful for apples with maple almond butter.

Thankful that tomorrow is Friday.

Thankful that there is the hope of snow hanging in the air.

Thankful that my kids are sleeping with their pajamas inside out and backwards and with spoons under their pillows.

Thankful for glue all over the tablecloth on our kitchen table because Adelyn and Tobin have been making kites for the past 3 days.

Thankful for the way everyone loves Higbee. He is famous at his vet's office. We walk in and people come pouring out of the back room to get a kiss from Higbee boy. It's always good to hear your vet say, "you've done a really good job with him...he was a very difficult puppy."

Thankful for cupcakes and party hats waiting and ready to go into school with me tomorrow. It just so happens that tomorrow is every single student's un-birthday. So we're gonna party! (Yes. Gonna. One simply cannot use the phrase, "We are going to party.")

Thankful for my friend, Jacynda. It is her birthday. (In this case, one can use the phrase, "It is your birthday." Just ask Dwight.)

Thankful for time to be thankful.
