School.

I am grateful for my children's schools. I am grateful for their teachers. I am grateful for the fun projects and activities that they get to do. I am thankful for everything that they are able to learn at school... not just their arithmetic or their grammar, but lessons about being social and lessons about being kind and helpful. I am also very grateful that the elementary school is right behind where we live so that I don't have to worry so much about them getting to and from school.

Primary.

I am a simple-minded girl. I understand what is taught in Primary. I get the Primary songs. I totally feel the Spirit when I am in Primary. I still sing Primary songs to myself at night when I am having a hard time sleeping, or when I have bad dreams. I am so thankful for Primary!

Crossword Puzzles.

I love crossword puzzles of all kinds! It is therapeutic for me to sit at night and unwind by playing games while my boys sit around me and watch tv or play games. I love that they are so relaxing to me!

The Jordan Bantam Maroon Football Team.

This year has changed Jackson. He has always been such a GREAT kid, I mean a really great kid. But, he wanted to play football. He took that challenge and really worked so hard at it. He made some great friends, developed some new skills, learned lots about himself and had a blast. I am grateful for his coaches. He could not have had better coaches for his first year in football. I am grateful for the team moms, who worked so hard each and every week. I am thankful for those boy he played. I am grateful for what he learned.

Nice People.

Seriously. I have a neighbor who brought a homemade loaf of bread to us a few weeks ago, just because. I was so thankful. I have a ward member who came to me yesterday, just to say that she was so happy to see me and my boys there, that it makes her happy to see us. I was so thankful. Today, a guy held the door open for me. Just because. I was so thankful. Each morning, my boys go out and start my car, scrape the windows and turn on the heater for me. I am SO thankful. It really isn't that hard to be nice to people. I am so thankful for people who are nice to me and my kids.
