give thanks 20

1. I'm thankful for impromptu field trips. I had to go down to Provo to buy tickets today. Emma asked if we could go to the Bean Museum while we were there. So we did.

2. I'm thankful that I get to laugh with my children. Frankly, I'm not funny very often but Emma, Slade and I were all busting up with these pictures. I'm thankful my children don't actually have wings or horns....

3. I'm thankful we got to go to two museums today. We also stopped by Thanksgiving Point on the way home. Slade wanted to go back in to the magnet exhibit and play with the magnetic sand they had last time. Disappointment abounded when we got there only to find it wasn't in the exhibit anymore. I'm thankful I didn't have to pay anything to get in and find that out.

4. I'm thankful for four kid cones that only cost 75 cents.

5. I'm thankful that even though they make me CRAZY with all the fussing, fighting, whining, not peeing in the toilet, making messes, etc., etc., etc., that they are mine. While we were eating ice cream, the two ladies behind us actually complimented me. They said I had very well-behaved children. HA! I laughed. Seriously? They are not well-behaved but they are smart, energetic, active, curious, and incredibly cute. They give me hugs and tell me they love me several times a day. I'm so glad they're mine!

I'm glad that they are yours too and, by extension, mine.

And those horn pictures made me chuckle too.

Another A+! How can you doubt your status as a mom? Glad you found some time to be funny with your kids, too. I do consider myself a humorous person, but it rarely shows with the kids - so I also appreciate those moments when I let loose a little.

Is Anne really standing on that chair? That's just not right. Too little.

Oh, and I get the well-behaved comment quite frequently regarding my kids. I think there's a permanent mark on the bottom of my chin.
