Thanksgiving

So it is thanksgiving. I got the day off work, but get to go tomorrow, but it is after the sale, so I am not going to complain too much.

About 2 weeks ago, my kids and I are in the living room, watching Noggin. Zee and Moose are talking about what they are thankful for. So I ask my youngest daughter, "Hailey, what are you thankful for ?"

"Apples"

"You're thankful for apples?"

"Yes, apples."

Trying not to laugh out loud, I ask my other daughter, " Erinn, what are you thankful for?"

"My family. Mommy,daddy, grandma julie,grandpa matt,etc......"

We have a lot of people in our family,lol.

Before I even say anything else, I hear "Mommy what are you thanksful for?"

I chuckle..."You and sissy,and Roo and Daddy. I am thankful for everything I have."

I can honestly say, kids have a way of making you feel thankful for what you have. It is amazing what children can do to even the grumpiest person. You can have the worst day in the world, and just a simple smile can make it all better. I love it.

Happy thanksgiving.
