Creating

1. I am grateful for crafting projects because they help me create things of beauty. I really love President Uchtdorf's talk a few conferences ago when he talked about burnt toast. As part of that talk he mentions that everyone has a desire to create something. I really am grateful that crafting helps me to fulfill that goal.

2. I am grateful that the Friendly Hero finally understood that quilting and Mommy sewing means that I'm working on HIS big blanket. He watched me for a long time and then he played with Darth Vader's TIE Fighter.

3. I am grateful for Darth Vader's TIE Fighter. Friendly Hero makes the sound of it flying and then says, "tew, tew, tew!" as he shoots things. It's really sweet to see him develop and start playing with toys. (Yes, it's LEGO. Not really surprised are we? Good.)

4. I am grateful for google stats. I looked at the blog stats for the first time and it was way awesome. I loved seeing how many times people have looked at the blog and it was really heart warming to see that people in Switzerland, France, and South Korea look at my blog. (Yes, I know who they are, and I'm glad that they like to check up on me, since I check up on them.) Thanks everyone for reading my blog, I am really grateful that you take time to read it. And the stats warmed my heart since it was math. (And I didn't have to calculate the stats, since that's the one part of math that I don't really like at all.)

5. I'm grateful that today was nice enough outside to go and play. We played at the playground for about 2 hours and it was great fun. The Peaceful Hero was so excited to see the swings. The Friendly Hero loves the big slide and riding his bike. I love being outside.

6. I'm grateful it's the weekend!
