Happy Thanksgiving!

I am SOOOOO thankful for these two little creatures! lol They are behind me on the couch discussing how they're NEVER going to have kids, because it will hurt. lol Anna said, "Momma show me your belly." I poked it out at her, and she patted it and said, "No, never gonna happen." lol She's particularly fond of her tiny belly. ; )
I've been getting caught up on laundry the last two days....I'm thankful for a nice Mother who will let me use her dryer so I don't have to go to the laundry mat and spend $$ I don't have. I'm also thankful (Oh, so thankful) that it's been raining and the well has enough water so I can wash it at home.
Daddy is washing the dishes so we can get started on our gingerbread houses. They're due in for the contest Monday, so we've got to get them done. I'm thankful for a wonderful husband who doesn't whine **too** much about helping around the house, and is simply wonderful at doing all the "traditional male" things like fixing things. He's had his moments, but all in all, I wouldn't trade him for anything.
Oscar is curled up on the couch between the girls. He's such a good puppy. I'm thankful we got him...and very,very thankful he came almost fully trained. lol I don't know if I'd be so fond of him if he wasn't.
Our home. It's small. It's dinky. It's not particularly clean. But it's ours and we love it, and I'm thankful for it. Daddy and I did a myspace survey and both of us put the same answer to the question, "Where would you like most to be?" We both answered "home". That's as it should be.
Homeschooling. I'm absolutely amazingly thankful that my children get to be home with me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwKodvNBnyU Watch this. Yes, our Life IS Good.
I am greatly, extremely thankful for my little brother. He's the most amazing kid ever!
Food, shelter, fresh water, clothes (lots and lots of clothes, now mostly clean) cats, dogs, roaches, weasel, laughter, fresh boxes of crayons, health, freedom....I could keep going, but I'm going to end.
I'm going to spend Thanksgiving with my family. What could be better?
