i'm grateful...

for teen witch and all of the lessons it taught, like using boxy clothes to cover party clothes.

for our new cactus pinky pokey and that a.soleil is so good at naming things.

that homeschool is only really hard instead of really, really, really, stupid, the worst hard.

that cat in the hat and wild kratts probably teach eli more than i teach him.

for picnik. guys, if you're not picnik-ing for easy photo editing, then...well...start.

that pretty fabric exists, even if that fabric is made into a terribly unflattering shirt.

for the kids should see this and not feeling guilty if e&a spend a good chunk of time watching.

that a.soleil dresses herself, especially when she layers. (maybe she's seen teen witch!)

for blue elevator doors.

for chocolate almond milk, pomegranates and homemade egg noodles in chicken noodle soup.

that we can still go outside and not freeze our b's off.

that parks and rec is there for me when forrest is working til the wee hours.

for eli's sound effects.

that instagram makes my crappy phone pictures look not crappy.

i'm grateful that you read this blog. triple smiley faces.
