Thankfulness Day 218:: Kai's Birthday!

Kai had his birthday this week.  I can't believe I'm old enough to have a 5 year old!  He has brought so much joy into our lives.  His personality brings life into any room and his heart is so big.

Today I am thankful for Kai.

Thankfulness Day 181:: Jesus

 When I ask Nash what he is thankful for every night he says "Disneyland." 

When I ask Kai what he is thankful for it varies but Sunday he told me this:

"I am thankful for what Jesus did for me."

Today I am thankful that my son is starting to get what this life is all about.

Thankfulness Day 108:: Sacrificing a Donut

This is a story about a 4 year old and a donut. 

My dad (Papa) took Kai for a walk to the donut store yesterday.  Papa purchased two donuts, one for Kai and one for Nash.  As they were walking back home Kai asks Papa "Where is mommy's donut?"  Papa explains that he didn't buy one for mommy just for Kai and Nash.  Kai's compassion sets in "Well then I'm just going to eat half of my donut and give my mommy the other half because she didn't get one." 

That is one amazing donut lovin' four year old!  I've really never heard of such a thing and I don't get donuts for myself everytime I take him there. 

Hmmm, maybe he read my blog on my donut obsession???

Today I am so very thankful for my son sacrificing something as amazing as a sprinkled donut!

Thankfulness Day 107:: Wordless Wednesday Super Cape

Kai's favorite color is Orange and his alter ego is "SUPER KAI" so I put in a request for a sewing machine on Freecycle  and wah lah I got one!  (If you don't know about Freecycle you are missing out!  Check them out!) 
Yes you read that right, I don't have a sewing machine and I hand sew all my stuff!  But yesterday I used a sewing machine for the first time and made this!  (Don't look too close!!)  I am hoping I can get better soon!

P.S. YES it IS Wordless Wednesday.  YES I have a problem not saying ANYTHING.... YES this could possibly go on in future Wednesdays.  YES I AM asking for grace? ;)

Today I am thankful for the imagination and my very own spawn Super Hero!
