I’m grateful to have been able to spend some fabulous time with my family today.

I’m grateful that I only have to go to the dentist every nine months. And that I can have one of these immediately afterwards to get rid of the rubber glove taste. 😛

‘nuf said.

Now that we are finally (knock on wood) getting out of the deep freeze we’ve been in, the sidewalks and streets no longer maintain the thin layer of snow that they have been. Which is great for walking/driving, but not so great for trying to pull a sled with one or two kids on it. But the field that we have to cross still has too much snow to use the wagon, so I’ve been a bit stuck on the best way to make the twice-daily trip to Abby’s school.

So I was grateful that Evelyn agreed to try the carrier instead of the sled. And not only does it solve the issue of pulling a sled across dry concrete, it also cuts our dressing time in half since I don’t have to fight her to get her into her snow pants! And she thinks it’s so fun to be perched on my back, she sings the entire way.

Although I am also grateful to get her off my back when we get home since she is a bit of a heavy load. A cute load, but a heavy load.

I’m grateful that the front of my hair is finally as long as the back!!

Now, if only I could get the last of the dye out of my hair and get it back to being blonde.

Along with the colder than usual temperatures, I feel we’ve had fewer than usual days with sun.

So I was very grateful to see the sun shining today, and not just for ten minutes, but for the entire day.
