Thankful Thursday

A friend is writing a blog post every Thursday of things she is thankful for (Sorry Kristen, I don't know how to link to your blog... but most of the people who read mine probably also read yours). I am not as dedicated a blogger as she is, and I make no promises about continuing this each week, but I thought it was a great idea, and I felt like I had a lot to be thankful for today, so here are a couple of them...

~a long walk in the rain with MungBean, followed by hot chocolate and veggie chips on the front porch, listening to the rain and laughing together

~lots of help from the girls making dinner tonight... Babs made the salad, Quay made the hollandaise sauce, the scrambled eggs, and the canadian bacon

~hollandaise sauce mix packets, so I can delegate that job to a 6 year old and just supervise

~every single person eating their whole dinner happily... 5 out of 5 clean plates! (Last night Quay offered the dinner prayer and asked for divine help "to not say bad things about the food I don't like." Nice.)

Hmmm, it seems like a lot of that centers around food. Well, happy thankful thursday! (and thanks Kristen for an inspiring idea!)
