thankful
Yesterday, B brought home the requisite 'what are you thankful for' activity that he'd done in school, but this year, his teacher had them think of less tangible, more conceptual things. He wrote that he is thankful for space, friendship, laws, light, warmth and the full feeling of food. (He's a poet at heart, our B!) Of course, he is also thankful for LEGO, K'Nex, and Pokemon...
...and books, to hold up giant marble roller coaster creations.
Told you he was a poet at heart! I am thankful for brothers who get into tickle fights while I'm trying to take a picture of them.
And little girls who love to shop for purses.
And a husband who takes care of them while I go back to school. And two homework-free days to enjoy with them all. Happy Thanksgiving! posted by alison at 10:53 am | in

Posted by: Sibylle at November 25, 2010 1:38 PMOf course Happy Thanksgiving from me too :) Posted by: Sibylle at November 25, 2010 1:46 PMHappy Thanksgiving, from this guy who's thankful for that Thanksgiving in 2003, my first in Boston, when you guys were willing to take in a Thanksgiving orphan who didn't get to go to dinner with his girlfriend because he had to work. I'd like to think that was one of the moments that cemented the start of three awesome years we all spent together! Posted by: Jason at November 25, 2010 10:54 PMAwwww! Happy Thanksgiving Jason! And thank you for all those great times. We have to make some more great times again soon! Posted by: ALISON at November 26, 2010 1:04 AMAlison, my two boys are 19 and 22, each north of six feet and north of 200 pounds, and I've got pictures of them from our Thanksgiving party wrestling around -- ok, a little more violent than a tickle fight, but in exactly the same spirit as your boys. They NEVER get over it, and this mom has never gotten over loving to watch it and take pictures of it. There's a pretty good chance one of those pictures is gonna end up on our Christmas card this year ... and it won't be the first time! Posted by: MaryB in Richmond at November 27, 2010 8:41 PMThat's so great, Mary! I remember watching my boys jump around on top of each other when they were like 3 and asking them incredulously, 'wouldn't you rather play a game?' Clearly not. Boys are little crazy, god love 'em! Posted by: ALISON at November 29, 2010 12:02 AMWow,Allison, it's been quite awhile since I've visited your blog and boy how your twins have grown from adorable wee ones to BOYS. Time flies. |
