Dankbar

Today we are grateful for:

Dad: Volkswagon- I asked him after he drove home two hours from San Antonio so I guess it was fresh on the brain (or the rump).

Mom: Contacts- I can't imagine trying to survive in a time before glasses were invented and am glad to live in a time with contacts.

Emma: The Wilkinsons- When we were new in the ward Rachelle (the mom) invited us to dinner. I couldn't imagine why someone with seven kids would want five more people to feed but I'm glad they did. The food was good and the kids love playing together. The boys love the four-year-old quints and Emma connected with their 8-yr-old daughter. We had the kids over here last night and the ten kid party was easier than our two kid playdates.

Weston: Nim's Island- Weston whined when I let the Wilkinsons pick the movie and he didn't get to watch his pick (Cars) but I guess he ended up liking it.

Andrew: Jesus- He gave a big cheesy smile when he gave this answer because he knew he had found a winning answer (he is the boy version of Emma in so many ways).

Live in Thanksgiving daily- Day 2

Today we are grateful for:

Mom: Mr. Billy- the kids ride the bus to school which has worked out wonderfully. Our street is the last stop before school so the kids don't have to get up earlier, there's not a lot of stops so they get home quickly, the bus stop is just across from our house so it's convenient, the kids on the bus are nice kids, and best of all Mr Billy. They have an awesome bus driver that cares about them, always greets them with a smile and a high five, gives them treats on holidays, lets them speak on his loudspeaker when they're getting off the bus, made a special trip to the bus repair shop to get Weston's backpack he left on the bus, and never yells at the kids. Best bus driver ever! I am so grateful my kids are in good hands.

Dad: Temple recommends- just got his renewed tonight and is all set to go with the youth on Saturday.

Emma: Grandma Ginger- Emma listens to her every night. Here's a link to listen to and download her stories. All my kids love her.

Weston: Dinner- I guess he was digging the mini quiches and yogurt parfaits tonight. Nothing like breakfast for dinner when you're throwing something together at last minute.

Andrew: Goo- Made some goo for Halloween and Andrew and his buddy I'm babysitting had a fun time experimenting with it.
