Snow -- 30 Days of Gratitude

I'm grateful for snow {on days I'm not driving down the black ridge in it at 5 am} and the air of excitement and fun it brings. I'm also grateful for 4 wheel drive even if it is the never-say-die Back To The Future mobile.

The Investigator -- 30 Days of Gratitude

When I decided to use pseudonames for the kids on my blog I didn't have to stop and think about hers much.

She's always investigating everything, from wanting to know all the details of a conversation to figuring out what's for dinner (food is for dinner, food I said!)

She's recently hit a new stage that I was afraid for a long time. The Middle Schoolers aka "Tweens"

She's gone from playing with friends to hanging out and there is a boy I hear about often. I'm handling this stage of childhood much better than I handled the toddler/preschool years.

She's entertaining to sit down and have a conversation with that doesn't involve cartoons or make believe. I still think it's all happening too fast, but since I can't stop it I'll take a breath (or several!) and enjoy it.

Birds -- 30 Days of Gratitude

Each morning there are a few dozen of these birds outside my window chattering at each other and I've been trying to get picture of the branches loaded with them but they are a bit skittish.

Or a lot skittish.

I'll occasionally toss some bird seed out on the front lawn and sit and enjoy watching them, up until the second they see a hint of my camera and then they fly off.

First Amendment -- 30 Days of Gratitude

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

I am thankful for so much of the First Amendment, and had thought of photographing a protest for the Freedom of Speech aspect, but living where I do there's not much going on in the way of protests and I'm just as grateful for Freedom of Religion.

Not just the freedom for people to go worship in whichever church they wish, but for those who worship outside of a church or in their own individual way.

Curiosity -- 30 Days of Gratitude

I'm grateful for curiosity (at least most days)

Why are the sunflower stems pokey? Why can't I eat these sunflower seeds? Why are we walking home? (well so you can ask more questions of course!)

Occasionally the why's are replaced by the did you knows.

Did you know I promises Mrs. Robb a puppy for her birthday? It's tomorrow Mom, can we go get her a puppy?

Mike's curiosity is fascinating to watch. When he focuses on figuring something out you can almost hear the gears turning in his head. I've come home to a disassembled bike, PVC pipes, wheel barrow, and an old outdoor toy all set up with the hose to get water from one side of the yard to the swimming pool.

Yes, the hose would have reached but what's the fun in that?

Charlet's curiosity as she learns to navigate the world of tweens, cell phones, and boys is exciting as well.

I don't remember the why stage and I don't think I ever cared enough about how things work to pull them apart but I do remember leaving toys behind for music, phone calls, make up and trading "going to go play" for "hanging out"
