Outside my window snow has been falling for almost 24 hours straight! Thankfully it has not added up to as much as it could have had it not fluctuated from tiny almost unseeable flakes to huge pretty flakes and everything in between. I think so far we have about 8 inches. The weather man says we should get several more before morning. I believe him, for once, and it really feels like January or February out there..not the middle of March.
So things I'm thankful for today include:
Healthy kids! Yay! After over a week of sickies we are all among the well as of this morning!
Pine firewood. I just love the easy way it heats compared to the poplar we've been burning the last several years.
Naps. R, J3 and G all had a two our nap today.
Homeschooling. While the littles napped the bigs and I did school. Well they did school, I marked their work and did some math with E and L. I love having them home all day and not having to worry about buses or roads or what they are being taught.
Spring, sounds kinda backwards being thankful for spring in a snowstorm, but it is March and in just 6 more days it will apparently be spring. According to the website I just checked out that means that there will be equal hours of sun and darkness on that day which this year is March 20. I wonder if that is true for us in the North. No matter. We often have snow well into April, sometimes even May!, so spring will come snow or no snow.
And the 'off' one for this Thankful Thursday is Eggs! I love them fried, hard boiled, deviled and many other ways. I dislike washing them and how they seem to sneak into the fridge when your not looking and full it up :) and after a week of sickies...the fridge was feeling less food storage and more EGG storage! And after 4 egg meals in 2 days we still have more eggs then we normally store!
Eggs! It's what's for breakfast!
