Grateful Friday

Today I give thanks for...

A quiet morning today. The kids had a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's and are celebrating the first day of summer vacation with swimming and a trip to the zoo.
Impressive report cards for T. Bone and Miss Bit that showed marked improvement. He's one of those kids who was getting 3's for effort and 4's for achievement, but this quarter he applied himself more and earned almost all 4's for his effort. Mrs. DLP proclaimed Miss Bit a reader and a writer. They both were beaming.
Tickets to Wicked. I'm bringing my little girl with the big girls. She likes to play good witch/bad witch with her Grandma. Grandma has to be Elphaba and Miss Bit gets to be "GaLinda."
Spending time with the girls after C.'s party last week.
Shih tzu puppies. I got to hold a fluffy little love this week.
Games the kids can play all by themselves.
Being a sport. Being silly. And being able to laugh at yourself. Miss Bit's friend, G., dressed her up in this eclectic get-up during their play date the other day and of course, I had to take a picture.
