Grateful Day 3.... and 4

-I’m thankful for on-line recipe websites, where I got this fabulous Banana Bread recipe! Many of our dinners have been started/saved because of websites like these!

-I’m thankful for FREE DIRECTV (that we get because of Jarrod’s job) with the movie channels, so I can spend a lazy morning with Belle watching Sense and Sensibility.

Oh, so grateful Day 1... and 2

I saw this on a friend’s blog. And due to lack of originality, I decided to pilfer the idea for my own. (Well, at least I gave the link to her blog, right?)

So, November is the month of Giving Thanks, I’ll name something I’m thankful for each day. (and because I’m starting this a day late, I’ll start with two)

Day 1
-I am thankful for implications from a member of the bishopric at church of a potential visit to my dwelling Sunday afternoon. Without which my humble abode would not be nice and tidy presently.

Day 2
-I am thankful for Daylight Savings still affecting my children, who surrender effortlessly to a 7:30 bedtime.

Better late than never??

Well, I never posted my Fourth of July pics I took of Belle, and her Parade Stopping Tutu. I didn’t tell you about that either? It was uncanny. People IN the parade would stop and take pictures of HER. It was a Proud Mama Moment.

Well, back to the pictures... it wasn’t the best time to take them (sun at high noon = HORRIBLE lighting) and Belle was in a mood, waiting for the parade to begin. The combination resulted in her refusing to pose, and making funny faces. So I tried to get creative with the editing.

Tell me what you think!!

We are in for a looonng winter.

"Belle, settle down." I chide at dinner last night followed with a mild lecture on dinner/table etiquette.

"I’m sorry, Mommy," She began her heart felt apology, “I’m just sooo excited for Christmas.”

By the way

Children seldom misquote.
In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.
