Ken said I just HAD to post these on my blog. When he was out mowing the lawn the boys just had to get their chance at it too, and Ken ran to get the camera and take a picture. They might as well learn young :)

Music to my ears!

So it only took me until 1 am to pick out all these songs I wanted to add to my playlist :) but I couldn't help it as soon as I saw that Ken had one, I needed one of my own too! And it was so easy to add! So, now you have music. SURPRISE!!!! Yeah, I always know what that's like to hit someone's blog and have to turn the volume down, so hurry to the bottom of the page and hit pause if you need to turn it off, LOL! Cause it's staying ON! :)

A Gratitude Attitude!!!

So, lately my girls have been a little less grateful about their lives than they should be. They come home from school and complain that there are no snacks to eat, so that very day we buy them snacks and then they complain about what snacks we bought them. Oh no you didn't, LOL! After dealing with this particular type of whining for a whole week, I sat them all down and explained to them the problem we were having here. I asked them each to write a list of the things they are grateful for. The one with the most on their list, and the most interesting answers would win a prize (which was the rest of my box of Milk Duds, thank you Adhis, LOL) So the winner was.....Natasha.....my 9 year old!



Here is her list of over 100 items I just had to share for their humor:

Family, sisters, brothers, parents, Great Grandma, 3 Grandpas, aunts and uncles, garbage, grandparents, cousins, recyling, weather channel, home, cars, hobbies, animals, supplies for school, home and church, words, sky, a body, humans, teachers, grass, Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, principals, numbers, land, water, vice principals, food, tables, world, universe, gravity, blankets, pillows, beds, VCR's, girls, boys, school, church, stores, clothes, Heaven,chicken Dance, sports, gymnastics, daycare, closets, hangers, colors, careers, bathrooms, breakfast, redbox, toothbrushes, teeth, tamagochi's, jewelry, electronic devices, plants, garage doors, legs, furniture, molecules, bikes, rooms, desks, malls, windows, blinds, lunch, planets, space, aliens, night, movies, soda pop, dinner, math, social studies, dreams, prophets, presidents, decorations, holidays, directions, government, buffets, places, legislative branch, parks, games, restaurants, pool, executive branch, books, medicine, libraries, parties, judicial branch, neighbors, stepcousins, the word grateful, classmates, lightness, unusual stuff, steps, Holy Ghost, pioneers, wii, scriptures, oxygen, Netflix, history, arts and crafts.

And there you have it, a glimpse into the mind that makes Natasha, Natasha!!! I also explained to them that half the things on their lists, more than half the world doesn't have access to, I hope they get that! I try to make sure they understand that all the time, but I don't think they'll realize it fully until they visit another country where they see it firsthand. I know I didn't until I went to the Philippines, and that was when I was 17!
