Hello and welcome! I'm a former elementary music educator, turned mom and home educator for more than 15 years. I have a passion for teaching, singing, and encouraging others along the way! Although I began blogging as a way to create a journal of our home education journey, I enjoy writing about a variety of topics related to home education, family, friends, and faith. I hope you enjoy journeying along with us!

Thankful Thursday, November 11/11/2010

This was our white board for "Thankful Thursday" today.  I have been asking the children to write something they are thankful for (or draw a picture) each Thursday.  What am I thankful for today? A free and safe country.  I know that it's not safe everywhere, but in general, I meant a protected country without war going on here.  I am thankful for our soldiers and veterans on Veteran's Day.

Today my daughter was thankful for "my Mom and Dad" - which makes me smile!  We were gone on a trip last weekend and the children stayed with my family.  I think that is why she chose to be thankful for us today.

My son was thankful for his new toy that he saved up his money for - the "Superhero Squad Heli-carrier".  He played with it a lot today because it is small enough that he can carry it around. So when he wasn't doing schoolwork, he was creating different battle scenes on the heli-carrier.  He wanted me to mention that it is a great toy here on the blog! 

I know I already posted last week about our new roof, but I have been thankful all week that our new roof is quietly protecting our home from the elements and all of the banging and equipment are gone!  It's been a much quieter, more "normal" week. 

What are you thankful for today?
