Thankful Thursday: November 8, 2012


It's Thursday
woohoo!

With the election
I feel like November is even wilder than usual.

I'm glad the advertising is over, grateful for a nation I love, and hopeful that we can channel the American spirit within us to improve and work better together than ever before.
For more on my thoughts from Tuesday, here's my post.

I think I'd like to hear the story of the icky gooey spider that lived inside a clam sometime.

You know, kids come up with some great stories sometimes. Check out Kid Snippets. They have a lot of nonsense stories from kids, acted out by adults.
