Thankful Thursday ~ 2/11/2021

 

Here are some things that made me thankful/smile/excited this week:

~~~~~~~~

~February is almost half over!    I don't know about you, but I'm ready for March to roll around and Spring to come!

~Puppy Art!  Laken took two small canvases with paint on them and put them into plastic baggies.  She then put peanut butter on the outside and let our labs, Kona and Lilah, lick away.  Below are their Picassos :)

~Photo Session! When writing my Three Things post for today, I realized that I didn't have an updated picture of my three loves together.  That has been rectified!  The flash is a bit bright but I love these faces :)

What are you thankful for/smiling/exited about this week?  Tell me all the good stuff!

Three Things I Hate About Winter:

~Dangerous Driving Conditions.  I don't mind snow but I hate ice!  Even snow makes me nervous when Kaylee has to drive to work and home again in bad conditions.  I worry about the hubby driving to work also but he's had much more experience driving in nasty weather.  I also worry about the school bus but at least if it is too bad out they are quick to call "virtual" days now.

~Less Daylight.  Even though each day is getting longer bit by bit, I still miss the long days of Summer.  I can't wait until Daylight Savings Time starts on March 14th!

~Soooo Long Until Spring!  Right about now is when Winter seems to be lasting FOREVER!  Each day can feel like an eternity while waiting for Spring to start...  I can't wait to sit out on the deck enjoying the sunshine...

Thankful Thursday ~ 1/28/2021

 

Here are some things that made me thankful/smile/excited this week:

~~~~~~~~

~Goodreads Challenge!  I'm ahead on my Goodreads Challenge!  I set my 2021 goal for 26 books and so far I'm 2 book ahead of schedule.  Go me!

~Hannah's Birthday!  Last Friday was Laken's friend Hannah's birthday.  With school being virtual and hybrid, they hadn't seen each other since October!  (thank goodness for modern technology that these kids can keep in touch)  To celebrate Hannah's 14th, I picked Laken up at school and then we got some frozen hot chocolates for Hannah and her little sister.  We stopped by their house (pre-planned) and Laken was able to see Hannah and give her a gift along with the frozen hot chocolates.  We didn't stay long as we were standing outside talking (appropriately distanced) but I know it was good for the girls to see each other!

~Vanilla Cookie Crunch!  I mentioned in my "Hey, It's Okay" post that I started burning my new candle before finishing the last one.  That is because Vanilla Cookie Crunch is seriously one of the best smelling candles I've ever had the pleasure of owning.  The only problem is that it makes me want to bake :)

~Lilah in Socks!  Laken was playing in the snow on Monday and decided when she came in to put her fuzzy socks on Lilah.  Lilah didn't mind it at all and I must admit it was cute and made me chuckle to see her walking around the house with socks on.  Bunny socks, even :)

~Snow Day!  We had some nasty weather on Monday/Tuesday.  Kaylee and Doug were both able to take snow days and stay home safe and sound.  Laken is on virtual schooling this week so we didn't have to worry about her.  I truly don't mind winter weather as long as my loved ones aren't traveling in it!
