Counting my blessings............ today I am thankful for clouds! It is overcast and I absolutely love it. May sound strange to some, but when you live in a state that is sunny every single day of the entire year ....clouds make you happy. And to top it off it even drizzled a little rain, right as a friend was dropping her daughter off at my house. You should've seen our excitement.

I was also able to go eat a fabulous (em, em) turkey school lunch with Kaden. (Thayne went earlier to eat with Hailey. It's funny how school cafeterias all have the same distinct, somewhat disgusting smell. Like trash and sweaty kids. It brought back memories.) Kaden gets so excited over these things. I told him this morning that Dad or I would be there. So when I was three minutes late, I could see the concerned look as he scanned the cafeteria for me. He later said, "I was just about to start crying and then you showed up." It's nice to feel loved... or maybe it was just that I had his lunch......no, it was me. :) He is so proud of his mom being there and loves to show off his baby sister. I think he just loves all of the attention he gets from the girls by having Ella there. It seems half his class has a crush on him.....probably because he eggs it on. I see the girls look at him and vie for his attention. One girl gave him her oreos, another said, "Kaden doesn't like these cookies I brought, but he likes it when I bring him different ones". Ok- so maybe he just wants their attention so they will bring him junk. Little stinker.
