Manic Monday

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough. ~ Melody Beattle

Slow news day in the Neipert household. I made meatloaf and baked potatoes for dinner so you could say that the day was amazing just because of... Mmmmm... meatloaf. Chris is thankful for Meatloaf Monday. And leftover Tuesday.

Bennett is thankful for Frances. She has been spending a lot more time inside as the weather has been cold and rainy off and on the last couple weeks. Which means extra cuddles for us all. And, I have seen a mouse in house on two separate occasions. Traps have been set and Frances knows it's here. She sits and stares at one of the registers and we also see her sitting and staring at the cabinets in the kitchen. Having an old house means having the occasional mouse. But, ick. Kill the mouse, kitty. Kill the mouse.

Harrison is thankful for having the chance to go to a school where he feels valued. Today was scheduling day for the 2019 - 2020 school year. FRESHMAN YEAR. Omg, I'm going to lose my mind. How is this happening?? Anyway, during directed study (fancy name for study hall) a junior came in and answered the students questions. Harrison really appreciated the fact that he came out and really paid attention to each question they had. So cool.

I'm thankful for my boys. They are sitting at the table with me and that are working on birthday cards for little Harrison. He turns one tomorrow and these cards are sure to be keepers. Bennett is working on a pencil portrait of little Harrison and my Harrison is doing one of his famous acrostic poems. Love, love.
