November 30...a month of Thankfulness

I'm thankful that no one is going to care that I didn't actually do my daily month of Thankfulness posts!  I dropped the ball and posted nothing since November 1...oh well!  We did have a great month focusing on being thankful and giving.  We served by cleaning and decorating at church.  We put together our Operation Christmas Child boxes.  We focused on being extra giving to each other...it melts my heart when one of my children offers to do another one's chore.  It was a good month...now on to Christmas, woo hoo!!!

Day One of What I'm thankful for...

Today was not a perfect day. A field trip was rescheduled after we already arrived. Jill screamed in the library and had to be removed where she continued her fit outside. Our Azure order was delayed an hour and then incomplete. I came home and vented on my poor husband who didn't deserve it at all...Sounds like a perfect day to begin a daily "what I'm thankful for" blog. 

So what am I thankful for today - My husband. I woke up and he had plugged the iPad into the charger. I had mentioned last night that I hoped to remember to do it because Adam was looking forward to playing it during Beth's violin lesson (we sit in a hallway for an hour trying to entertain ourselves). This simple act showed me that Andrew was thinking about me. He was being thoughtful. He is wonderful, and I thank God for the gift of him :)

Harvest Festival 2011

Our church was hosting their 5th Annual Harvest Festival.  We brought a Boba Fett...

a Supergirl...

a Blue Power Ranger...

and a Princess...

At the Harvest Festival there's bull riding...

face painting...

bounce house sliding...

and lots and lots of carnival games...

There were even a few adults in costumes...

And this caterpillar turned into a butterfly before the night was over!

Happy Fall!!!
