Today I am thankful for good kids, hard work, tissues, wood stoves. firewood and coffee.
And Chocolate :)
Little bit like winter out there. Kids are in a slow school area of their lives, being done that first 4 paces in their 6 main subjects, and are working on their supplementals from their teacher. That means that there is a lazier day all around and we are taking the time to sort clothes, get out winter clothes and generally give the house a de cluttering. Papa got what the kids and I had last week and spent the weekend watching M*A*S*H and sleeping. His cold went into his sinuses and knocked him flat. He is much better today and back to work :) I'm thankful for that too :)
The kids just finished sorting, I helped :), E and R's clothes and we are taking a mini chocolate bar break (mine with coffee!) before the little two get up and before we finish it off by putting it away and getting out E's next size bag of clothes out. R gets the stuff E just grew out of. Baby G's clothes are next and after a careful review I decided the boys clothes are fine.. haven't seen any too short pants on any of them recently so we will not be going through their clothes!! YAY!!
I'm also thankful that Norma Jeans family is back from the bush and should be picking her up soon :) and coming to visit :)
The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture.
