Gratitude... Being thankful

Well we are just about to Thanksgiving and I have been thinking a lot about what I have to be thankful for. I have so much to be thankful for yet I find my way of complaining about something or other daily. I wish that were not true... so instead of not liking something that I do and not acting on it. I have decided to FOCUS on making a change. I am using this month of Gratitude as a jumping of point. So here is my first I am Thankful post....hopefully I get to a few more...hehe....

{I am Thankful for my job @ my mom's learning center, Little Mud Puddles}

for so many reasons... but especially for this....

I was walking by Ashlyn's classroom november 9th and noticed that they were making Pizza. I saw the joy and excitement in her eyes. So I ran to my purse, grabbed my camera and into her class. 

I am thankful that I am able to walk into Ashlyn's classroom in the middle of my work day. Sometime right before I serve lunch I run outside to snag a hug from my little peanut. I love being around the environment most parents don't get to see... I love being a part of most of her school experiences. This is the perfect balance to my dream of being a stay at home mom. So here are a few of the pic's I captured. 

This project was more about the process, discussion and language. I should have taken video...they were talking about the vegetables that they eat and cook at home. Then once I brought the pizza back cooked... and they ate it for snack. Oh my were they proud to have made (assembled) their snack all on their own!

Ashlyn: "Yes mommy. I like peezza when I make it. It's more yummy! mmmmmm"
