Grateful and Frigid Friday... Brrrrr

Since my last post was a little whiney, it is time to add a post.

I love grateful Friday!

Love Friday, Love paying tribute to all the good things happening.

Love reflecting on things

I may notnormally take notice of.

1. My furnace. The warmth of my home. (The artic blast has hit us-HARD!!)

2. Good food for dinner. And it's all pre-cooked.

3. A semi-clean house.

4. Clean flannel sheets to sleep in tonight.

5. Despite the cold- the sun was out all day. Very grateful to have sunshine.

6. Time to scrapbook, time to read, time to watch Grey's last night.

7. Warm coffee (with hazelnut creamer of course) and cold soda.

8. My kids have been healthy so far this winter. No nasty viruses in our house.

(Knocking really hard on wood right now!)

9. Chocolate. Must have chocolate and husband came through for me!

10. Playstation. I am really diggin Lego Star Wars II. (Got to help out the little ones you know)

11. Just finishing a really really good book! And a galley read at that. Love it when I find a galley read that is good. Ghostwalk, by Rebecca Scott

12. Did I mention my house is semi-clean.

13. Laundry is complety under control- at least today.

14. Nice blog comments and emails.

15. A 20% off coupon to Jen Wilson Designs!! Yep, I used it already. On this, this, this, this and this.

16. Cuddly kids.

17. Homemade soup!

Special Helper Friday

Today I was special helper at preschool-

or more correctly-

I was the special helper's assistant

The best part of being special helper

is that we always bake a treat!

It's our little thing.

and notice the other thing in the

picture- (not the muffins)

that was my Christmas present

from my parents.

Always wanted one-

just not that badly.

I really didn't need to use

the mixer to make muffins-

but since it was there,

We made them

Martha style!

So my house smells

of baking

bannana muffins

and warm coffee.

Now if we only had some snow.
