Thankful Thursday

Welcome to a COLD Thankful Thursday! We are iced in at our house. Thursday will mark the third day of ice and snow here. First we thought it was going to "warm up" above freezing on Friday but now we have a chance of snow again!

Being inside has reminded me of so many things we have to be thankful for each day, things we may often take for granted on a normal day....Things like electricity (much of Texas was out of electricity throughout today due to rolling blackouts), being able to jump in the car and run down the street to the store (or Sonic!), plenty to drink and eat, food in the freezer. It's kinda felt like a little vacation for me to have both of my boys home these three days. We haven't done much housework but have had fun. We've drawn pictures together, watched movies, and had a lot of laughs trying to stay warm!

Today I am thankful for...
~ my husband being able to be home and not have to be out on the unsafe roads. His office was closed.

~ my boy and his excitement about the snow! He woke up about 6:15 on Tuesday and was just so excited to get to play in the snow. It was fun to watch his excitement about having snow everywhere. Wednesday he stayed in his pajamas longer before going out. In the afternoon he played with the neighbor kids and later went back out and scraped ice off the porch. He's my little worker boy! Always wants to be working and helpful!

~ all the warm things we have...pajamas, socks, coats, blankets, robes, cocoa, heater.

~ people who work in the cold weather and don't get "snow days."

~ television and computer to keep up with the news of the weather.

Have a day of blessings!
