Thankful Tuesday

1. The kids enjoyed playing flag football for the first time this season. It was nice that Nadia was able to sing the National Anthem at the game on Saturday and that Pop Pop was able to join us.

2. We attended a painting class yesterday morning. There were 10 homeschoolers at the painting party. Each child painted a pumpkin on a canvas. I am displaying all three canvases on our mantle for the next few weeks, and then we'll hang them on their bedroom walls. I am trying to increase the frequency of our field

trips - not to what it was when I was unemployed, but more than it has been the past two months.

3. All three kids are enjoying their gymnastics classes. They had their second class last night.

4. I took the kids to a Chemistry show at Bucknell last Tuesday night. We had schedule conflicts the previous two years, which prevented them from attending; so this year I decided to skip their final flag football practice so we could attend the event.

5. We had a wonderful time birding on Friday morning with another homeschool family and a birder from our church.

6. The kids enjoyed playing glow in the dark field hockey in gym class on Friday morning.

7. The Aldi's was reopened last week which meant we were able to shop there on Saturday after their football games. We also stopped at Sears to use two more coupons to get some very inexpensive clothing.

8. All three kids did a good job singing in kids' choir in both services on Sunday, and Nadia did well with her short solo.

9. I am still enjoying my Bible study on Nehemiah. We met last night. We will conclude our study in two weeks.

10. I'm so thankful for libraries!!!

11. The Steelers are now 5-2. Yay!
