Thankful Thursday

It's been awhile since I've done one of these. These are some things that I'm thankful for today:

*The snowflakes falling outside

*That my boys are getting haircuts tonight...been hard to find an available time that Andrew's also been able to maneuver in the chair lately

*For my husband...he may come in smelling like the hog building, but I keep telling myself it's the smell of money. :)

*That Isaac got his glasses tightened last night and they didn't break!!

*For my Turtle girls - love ya all and enjoyed out time last night...and the honorary members, too. Can't wait till you find my fried bologna scented candle...if Yankee makes it, look for a fancier name such as "essence of Kentucky Roundsteak" :)

*That I didn't have anywhere I had to be today...great day to stay inside!

Anyone else wanna share?

Not much to blog about

There's never a dull moment around here, yet it seems like there's not really been anything blog-worthy lately.

I do have to say though, that Isaac keeps us on our toes around here. He hasn't even been home from school for an hour yet and he's given me plenty of material. First off, he asked for a piece of gum. Keep in mind that the kid despises anything hot or even minty. He tells me the gum is the sour kind and pops it in his mouth, but it didn't take him long to spit it out. It turned out to be some sort of cinnamon tingle. :) Then Courtney comes in from work and Isaac is hugging all over him and so happy to see him - and then realizes he forgot to wash his hands after he'd spent some time in the bathroom...

While working on his homework paper, he had to draw 3 pics that started with the letter H. He drew a black rectangular box and kept insisting it was a hamster. We weren't seeing a hamster. Courtney asked where the head was and he kept giving us his confused look and saying, "You mean the lid?"I finally figured out he meant a clothes hamper. :)

He wears his heart on his sleeve and can be so sensitive. (he may someday realize how much like his mother he can be!) But he's also such a happy-go-lucky boy. He can sometimes be so clueless, and other times he's got us laughing until we cry. The joy he adds to our lives is amazing! And to think, we named him Isaac without knowing his name means "he laughs".
