Thankful

I'm thankful for....

clementines. I got them at the store yesterday. I just love that they are so easy to peel and eat. Sam and Peter eat them like candy. They are sweet and good and a wonderful winter time treat.

heat. It takes a while to get used to being cold all of the time. The heating system was added to our house after it had been standing for a while, so the vents are in the ceiling. Heat rises. Upstairs is toasty, but downstairs is a bit chilly, especially on the floor. So I'm thankful that when I come in from the cold outside I have a warm home.

the elementary school. We have such a wonderful elementary school. All of the parents, it seems, are very involved. The school, teachers and PTO offer so many things for our children. Last night the PTO sponsored dinner and a movie so for $2 each, we all got to have a hotdog, cheeze-its, a drink, and Wall-E. It was fun being together and doing something different. Popcorn was only $0.25! What a deal!

Oh, I LOVE what your school did! How fun! What a great, inexpensive way to spend a memorable evening together with the family!

How was Wall-E? We haven't seen it yet (and we may never...).

It was o.k. None of us want to really see it again. It had some cute parts. Ben has been studying propaganda, so we talked about that quite a bit.
