Gratitude Tuesday

Late yet again. A frustrating thing for someone who is usually on time, if not a bit early. However, family and home take precedence, so the fluff of blogging has to wait, and "scheduled posts" are done when they can be. Numbers 76-100 gathered together, and recorded here:

76~ Swing sets, and the hours of play they provide

77~ My voice, back

78~ Making lemonade out of lemons last week, and giving the house a good cleaning, when having no voice nixed school

79~ New recipes, turning out delicious

80~ Friends
81~ A picnic in the back of the van with my good friend and her 3 children

82~ A beautiful day last week, perfect for hiking

83~ Violets found in OCTOBER!!!

84~ Being a hair up sort of girl, but managing to keep it down for 2 days (might do it gain today too...)

85~ Friends for my children, and knowing the are good influences on one another

86~ Tulip tree leaf bouquets

87~ Finally getting back into creating

88~ Projects I had envisioned, turning out just as I wanted

89~ My biggest girl reading 3 letter words with ease, 4 weeks into school

90~ Children underfoot and dancing in the kitchen while I make dinner

91~ Children who couldn't decide whether to stay in and dust their room, or go outside and play, because they consider both equally fun (yeah, shocks me too)
92~ My biggest girl offering to wash a much bigger pile of dishes than I would have asked her to do, and washing them well

93~ "Now what can I help with Mama?"

94~ Lunches and evenings spent once again with the Ingalls family (Little Town on the Prairie this time)

95~ Children, who don't know who the latest T.V. characters are

96~ Weekly Sunday night caramel corn dates with B. after the children are in bed

97~Running water and indoor plumbing

98~ Visits with extended family

99~ Chocolate chip cookies

100~ God who REIGNS no matter what

Don't you just love making these lists? We all have so much to be thankful for.

Very pretty picture of you!

Love your list! Wow! Looks like a great swing set! I'll bet it keeps them busy :) OOOO! Love your hair - boy, it grows fast! Didn't you just cut it? Or was that months and months ago...? And I'm totally staring at your hiking pictures :) Looks like a lovely fall day. We're back to the 90's here!

You are never too late to make a thankful list!

When I saw that first picture, I thought you were at a park! DUH. Your yard IS a park now I guess. Lucky children!!

You have the greatest lists and always say several things that I wish I had thought of first, but mentally thank God for (on my end) too. Like:

#85-that is a RARE treasure these days, huh?

#87-this week starts it!

#88-Amen.

and my favorite of the bunch:

#95!!!!!!!

I *LOVE* that picture of you (a new profile pic perhaps?!) Your hair is enviable. and I *LOVE* that picture of sweet, SWEET Beans.
