Kylee is so thankful for s'mores.
Kael was thankful for, what he calls, a Wilderness Walk.
I'm thankful for fun after-school snacks. I'm not entirely sure what it's supposed to be but saw it in a magazine, so we made it. A monster maybe?
I'm thankful for apple smiles.
I'm really thankful for the World's Best Apple Dip recipe that we dipped the apples in.

1/4 tsp. vanilla
*Beat all ingredients together and chill.
I'm thankful for treehouse sleepovers. I was a little too scared to sleep out among the bugs, etc. So I told the kids they could sleep out there with Dad. Joke's on me though- once everyone else was tucked in outside, I went to my own bedroom and found a giant spider on the wall. Yuck. I begged and begged for Kent to come in and kill it, but all I got was an, "Are you kidding me?" Lucky for me, the kids didn't last all night out on the treehouse so my knight in shining armor came into save me from the spider.
This picture will mean nothing to anyone else but it's a picture of the new high school they are building pretty close to our house. I'm thankful my kids live in a city full of growth and opportunities.
I'm thankful for this little girl who brightens every day with her smile.
