Oh so thankful for good night’s sleep, not so early mornings, frost outside, warm coffee and hearts inside and games, games, games.

Thankful for days off and that she can, in fact, fall asleep without a mimi!

Patience. Fortitude. Good attitudes. Hopeful hearts. 

I remember Monday–what was I thankful for?  Sunshine. Leaves. Raking. Podcasts. Quiet mornings and loud afternoons. 

I am totally thankful for Rat A Tat Cat–our new card gaming obsession. There is a round or two played everyday around here all together and then another few among just kids. 

And then…I forgot the very next day. Oh well! I am thankful that Ollie beat the Jurassic World LEGO game because now he is back to not begging for technology. Geez-does it ever suck you in fast!

But I am pretty proud of him–video games are so intuitive to kids. I’m glad they can catch on because I sure can’t. 📽☎️📺

It’s Wednesday and there is less than a week until Election Day and I am thrilled that we will be taking up the cause to campaign for our favorite candidate-well, not quite–tomorrow are going to be making talking debates, slogans and posters for our favorite candy. 

I. Know.

There is so much around here that I figure we can at least have some fun n before it disappears next week. (Worst Mom Ever)

But what I am thankful for today are these mild temperatures that helped give us time to jump and rake and play before the sunlight goes away. 

Well, I got on a roll–was it two (?) or three (?) years ago…holy moly-it may be four now–when I wrote a thankful post each day all through November. Taking it up again; I woke up in a panic last night realizing it was already November 2 and I had missed my chance. 

Never one to lie down and take it–I’m throwing caution to the wind and I am going to get my gratitude on!

November 1: Gratitude for late starts, breathing room, days filled with candy and happy students calculation, rhyming and creating and Benedryll that can rock even the most cough-y baby to sleep. So everyone gets enough rest. 

Until tomorrow–ahem, today😉
