I am thankful for loving and attentive big brothers.

I am thankful for fun art projects!

I am thankful for when my boys do "bike tricks" just like the YouTube videos we sometimes watch.

I am thankful for boys who are willing to help with so many things.

I am thankful for our little girl who couldn't understand why Daddy was trying to make her wear his jacket.

Mix it up

It was a great treat to eat and share this Trail Mix.

Thanks for Everything

Some of the things the 2-year-old was thankful for in a recent prayer:

• Cookies
• The table
• The chairs
• Bouncy balls
• Duplos
• Water
• Puppy
• Root beer
• The plates on the table
• The forks on the table
• Other things he could see on the table

The skinned knee

Sharing donuts.

This game was called,
"You can't take find me and take my picture before I hide again."

My part of the game was called,
"Hide in the shade because it's hot out."

"Helping" our neighbor walk her dog.

Working together (mostly) to build a leaf pile.

Aftermath: mostly throwing in the air like a ticker-tape parade 

Home-made stilts.

Toddler Exclamations - two in one day

Standing at the toilet:

    "Help, Dad! I peed on my face!"

Nursing a hurt lip:

    "My face ran into Ben's pumpkin." 

Halloween: pumpkin pancakes for dinner. Delicious.

The pancakes aren't beautiful, but we have fun making them.
