Thankful Tuesday

This morning I had the pleasure of going to a 3rd grade Talent Show along with my Brittany.  She was invited by one of her Performance Team dancers.  It was one of the cutest things I have ever seen.  I just know that this little girl will remember for all time her dance teacher coming to watch her dance in her show.   This little girl had  taught her friend what she has been learning this year.

I am thankful for many things but especially the fact that I get to be around so many young girls each and every day of my life.  I enjoy the energy these kids bring to my life.  I love laughing with them, their hugs, encouraging them.  It's fun and even though it can be so very tiring day after day keeping this freight train on track I wouldn't be anywhere else.

Tonight we have parade practice followed by milk and chocolate chip cookies for all the kids.  I'm sure that it is going to be an action packed evening.  Then, we have a 3 day break.  I am looking forward to spending some family time.  Brittany wants to help me in the kitchen this year, which makes me thrilled.  We'll get things done quick working together which will allow more time to just rest and relax.

Do you go out shopping on Black Friday?  I have never done this before but some of the moms at our studio make a whole day of it.  I think Brittany and I will dip our toes in the water of Black Friday shopping and hit Kohls at midnight.  It might be fun, of course it could be crazy too but we are both game.  Then we'll come home and head for bed.  I'm not really looking to shop for anyone...maybe we'll each buy ourselves a little something just so we can say we did.

That's about all.  I'm just thankful, pure and simple for all that The Lord has blessed me with.  Life isn't always easy but I wouldn't miss it for anything.
