Mondays

1. I am grateful for Family Home Evening. We had ours around the dinner table, as the boys were finishing their dinner. (It was the only time that Peaceful Hero was happy today.) and we each created lists that we were grateful for. The First Item on PH's is FOOD. This kid must have been starving today, because if he wasn't eating he was crying. Friendly Hero was grateful for: My light blue spoon, this window, mom, this macaroni and cheese, and my light blue bowl. It's really cute to see them.

2. I am grateful for my clean sink. All day yesterday and today, I have done the dishes right away, because I don't want the dishes to dirty up the sink, and I want to see my clean sink.

3. I am grateful I am done sewing pinwheels. I'm working on two twin sized quilts for the boys. (When they get a bunk bed in a year--getting the quilts finished will probably take all year long.) And between the two quilts there are 300 pinwheels. I am grateful I am done with this stage and get to start putting the squares together. I will show pictures when I have the tops of the quilts finished.

4. I am grateful for tutoring. I love that I get to help children learn and understand math--and that it gets me out of the house. My boys love to go to their friends home, and they see that Mom loves being their Mom, and that she also loves to teach Math.

5. I am grateful for my husband. He is awesome. Without him around I'd go crazy. He brings a lot of patience and stability. When he's there, I can be more patient. I love him so much!
