Sometimes you have to wear your boots

I actually took this picture a couple of weeks ago, but the rain we are getting reminds me that sometimes you shouldn't wear flip flops! I have slipped more than once when my flip flops got wet. It's not a good idea to wear them when you check cows either! :)  I actually broke down and purchased a pair of rain boots that are suitable for public wear...in that they are not covered in something's poop.  Maybe I'll get a chance to wear them tomorrow.  The weather has been so crazy lately.  We are all fighting the hacking mucus cough and headache....good ole Arkansas weather!  If you don't like it, just wait a little bit and it will change.

We have a short school week this week! It makes it easier to get up and go for some reason! I love my job, but I'm excited about the small break for rest and family time! I'm looking forward to the food too for sure!  I plan to take the girls to see The Muppets on Wednesday.  It looks like a cute movie and I used to love The Muppets when I was a kid.  The Swedish Chef is probably my favorite character, even though he doesn't get a lot of attention.  It cracks me up the way he talks.

I have so many things to be thankful for.  I try to be thankful for our blessings every day, but also really enjoy reading what others post about their thankfulness as well.  It's nice to be reminded to remember to count our blessings.

Haddon has really started to develop a little personality lately.  She has started climbing up to get candy and then running upstairs to eat it.  Then she will come downstairs to get another piece and run right back up to eat it.  She tries to distract me - she'll say "you go in der".  She also asked to go to "hinese" food today.  That is her way of saying Chinese food.  We like to do that after church on Sundays.

Well, it's about time to start baths and bed time.  Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.
