Judy over at A Thankful Woman's Book of Blessings, hosts this meme every Wednesday. Simply list five things (or a prayer or any thoughts) for which you are truly thankful this week. Voicing my thanks helps put my life in perspective & realize that, no matter how bad things might be, there is still MUCH good surrounding me.
1) I'm thankful for a relaxing, fun overnight trip w/ Casinodad last week. We headed out to Wheeling Island Hotel & Casino in WV. He had gotten a GREAT rate courtesy of a coupon he'd received ($49 + tax for the night...at least 1/3 of the regular rate). We gambled a bit, but nothing excessive, then just relaxed.
2) I'm thankful the munchkins did well for my MIL while we were away. This was the first time she'd stayed overnight w/ them.
3) I'm thankful for the few days of nice weather we had last week that allowed us to open up the house. Now if only they'd return!!!!
4) I'm thankful for all the love, support, & caring I receive from Casinodad on a daily basis. God has truly blessed me w/ a WONDERFUL husband...although at times, I wonder what I've done to deserve him.
5) I'm thankful that the munchkins have been so receptive to our first "official" week of school which started on Monday. Last week was just the wading pool, while this week we dove right in! I decided to tie some of their music studies in w/ religion & teach them church hymns this year. We'll focus on one every two weeks & we started with "Whatsoever You Do." They really liked it & caught on quickly! (This song also ties in w/ a discipline technique Casinodad & I are going to implement this week. More on that later....)

I LOVE this list Munches Mom!
Seems we were both feeling grateful for our hubbies this week!
Glad you and yours had a special time away:)
I also LOVE this idea of teaching Church hymns for music. The one you mention here was one of my most favorite songs as a child!
Can't wait to read your "more on that later"!
Thanks for joining in this meme with me each week:)
