Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Yay! It's Thanksgiving and Lee's baking his renowned Pumpkin Spiced Cheese Cake right now!!! Mmmmmmmm!!! He's the gourmet cook between the two of us...I'm the day to day yummy/easy stuff cook! ;) I love Thanksgiving! I am sooo glad that a cold front came in for today! I LOVE it!!! :) Our church put out a thanksgiving pamphlet by Life Action Ministries on the table in the foyer for anyone to take and I grabbed a few for our family for this special day!!! For each day in the month of November there is something printed to be thankful for! I thought I would put a few of the things that they have listed! :)

The Grace of God
"I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus." I Corinthians 1:4

God's Provision
"Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap not gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" Matthew 6:26

The Steadfast Love of God
"It is good to give thanks to the LORD,...to declare your...steadfast love in the morning." Psalm 92:1-2

Every Good Gift
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." James 1:17





Here are three more things that I'm thankful for!!! ;) Couldn't resist!!!




Have a safe and happy thanksgiving!!!

Rainy Day Tag

I've been tagged by to tell what we do on rainy days!!! Hehehe! We don't have anything in particular that we really do on a consistent basis...well, I guess I drink coffee and watch it rain, but I drink coffee everyday!!! Hahaha! I know when I was little I knew that a rainstorm meant sitting on the porch swing with my sister and hearing our dad read Classic Pooh or a picnic in the living room floor for lunch with our mom! I think I need to start something like that! Something predictable for our kiddos during a rain of thunderstorm! I have let the girls jump in the puddles with their rain coats, rain boots and umbrellas before and they loved that! :) Soooo...I think reading a particular book and having a special picnic in the living room would be a fun tradition to start, but I am sad to say that we haven't yet started anything to date! :) The next time it rains I will try to remember and let you know if we have followed through!!! :) If you have any tips, let me know! :)
I'm tagging 5 people!!!
Have fun!

Psalm 75:1
"We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, for your Name is near; men tell of Your wonderful deeds."

A pretty, but not the most, embarressing moment!

Hahaha! Okay, this happened a few months ago, but I'm wearing the t-shirt, so it reminded me and I thought some of you would get a kick out of this!!! Well, my family was in town and we decided to take them to our fun mall over here!!! :) Ours has an Old Navy in it and everything, so we were all 10 shopping there! I was SUPER excited when I saw some of their really cute, comfy and fun t-shirts on sale!!! I was extremely happy to see a few that I liked that were girly and in colors I like with phrases that REALLY exemplify my hobbies, tastes and interests! I ended up getting 3 of them since they were only $3.00!!! Yep! I picked the adorable pink rooster one, the yellow one with flowers and the phrase "Love is in the air" and the third one was one of my favorites, is brown and it says "Write it down"! I especially liked that one because I write EVERYTHING down!!! Lists, poems, stories, journaling, blogging, love notes, class notes, sermon notes, songs...you name it, I write it! I'm not sure if any of it's good or not, since I'm really the only critic (and of course I like it...most of the time), besides Lee sometimes, and he likes my stuff!!! :) Ha, but, getting back to the point, I was sooo excited about my new shirts, so I decided to wear my WONDERFUL communicative brown t-shirt to Lee's office the next day, since my family was going to go and eat lunch with my hubby-poo!!! I'm getting dressed and I laid the shirt on the bed face down and I noticed that there was something else on the back!!! Hehe, not only is it on the back, but as I was kind of moving and unfolding the shirt I noticed that it was something written on the lower part of the back of the shirt. It's one of those longer ones, which made me like it even more, but I bought it without trying it on first, so this was the first time for me to read the back of the shirt!!! So...here is what is on the back of the shirt, right above the seam (which happens to land right around the hiney area): 415-555-7452!!! Hahahah! Yep! A phone number, which I immediately called to make sure it wasn't bad!!! :) It wasn't a working number, so don't worry! I'm jusst glad I noticed it, cause can't you just see little ol' me walking around with a phone number on my hiney and the front of my shirt says "Write it down"!!! Ya! Well, I went ahead and wore the shirt with my family to Lee's work just so I could be silly and make him laugh (and my family said they thought it would be funny and not bad), but needless to say, that was the last outing in that one!!! I was a little disappointed...okay, VERY disappointed!!! I thought I was buying a shirt that displayed my enjoyment of writing and the arts...not so, my friends, not so!!! :) The moral of the story is, read the fronts and backs of all of your clothes before you buy them, and especially if you plan on wearing them in public!!! :)

On another note...here are a few cute pics of my chickadees!
Happy fall and here's to a prayer for some more cool weather out here!!!
