Thankful Thursday

I am Thankful for creative children

On Tuesday the Kids used stickers on these simi- disposable plastic plates. Beloved picked them up for the camp trip so we could use less paper and not have so much waisted trash. We wash and reuse them. They are also very light weight for camping.
The children then on Wednesday promised Daddy Man that they would only use one each (a promise broken, I found 4 spent ones hidden in a cupboard's. they came clean and had to own up to it) We taught them haw to do it differently was to trace out a design then make it permanent. They were given (by the Daddy Man) permanent markers , much to my dismay, while I was in the shower. Being on crutches I had to just let it go. When I found them preparing there own breakfast on their own plates.

I was thrilled, as you might guess, that there was no damage by markers on anything. Too cute. With the exception of using more than one plate as required by the Daddy, they did a great job.

Sweet beauty was very pleased as she should be. She supervised her brother.

After I saw Beloved off with his lunch in hand and had packed the kids lunches Dash had his awaited(with much annoyance on his part as to have to wait for my attention) After the dogs were fed it was 6:30! a.m.! Mr dash (like a ) Hawk up and ready to be taught and entertained. We did a sand art work on adhesive pre- numbered forms. They were the peal and dust type craft.

His little mind is going constantly! I am thankful for the high intelligence. I hope that this child does not have to face Ushers. I hope that he keeps his sight and hearing and can flourish into what ever he desires to do. He is so intelligent that no matter what I know God has equipped him for success.

Behold a master piece before breakfast.

I am thankful that the Teachers Conferences on Tuesday were so encouraging. Both children have some very strong talents that level out the difficulties.
Miss Sweet Beauty excels in penmanship. I had her do the series of "writing without tears" while I home schooled. Her reading skills are above grade level. Here weaknesses are being addressed as the testing continues for her interventions assessments. He memory dysfunction is leaving her troubled with math and with comprehension of literal fact. Funny thing is fiction sticks with perfect scores, but give her a bunch of facts and they go by by! This child may be so creative in mind function that her gifts are a bit savant. She would make a great director.
Mr D Hawk is so out there he is one of 6 student who finishes the 1st grade work daily so rapidly that he is a part of the team that gets to do book reports. He had perfect marks. That is not given out lightly. His only thing again is that fine motor disability. To be so smart and not be able to get your hands to do what you tell them must be very frustrating for him. I will be having him continue the hand writing curriculum I used with beauty.

I walked more freely this morning and with out my cane. I am seeing the joint settle down for this I am grateful too.

I have more peace over the upcoming holiday. I have peace about making costumes for the children, but only for their class event. We will get a movie night event set up as per our tradition. Only this time I do not have to feel afraid behind closed doors. I do not judge others for trick of treat, I just do not choose it.

I will be able to work on the MOUNDS of laundry today. (Two Loads in the machines so far)

My husband said for every time I watch my diet he is going to run again. I am so grateful that my husband has legs to run. It is so wonderful to see him care for himself too.

My husband mopped the floor, cleared the hall of toys, and did the dishes. I am thankful that it has given me a hand up from what felt so over whelming to face. Now I don't have to kill myself to get caught up.

I am thankful for the new crown I got to have done this morning, NO SHOTS YA!!!!!!!!

I have so many supplies for projects, and to look forward to. My life has been on hold for over a month with a dry socket, that is now healed and it looks like I have overcome the bone infection. I have had so much down time after the knee injection series.
Now I can get back into an active life.

I can now work on the Autumn Gift exchange to get it shipped out to Grace. I also have to get a Birthday gift for D Hawks friend. (Done) I am grateful that I can afford to give freely. I am wrapping the things I gathered.
I am thankful I have wrapping paper.

I am thankful for peace. Gods peace and presence is so warm. I am never alone.:)
