The 2nd Rainbow of Thanksgiving

Ahhh...it is that time of year again, when we all gather around and think of the things that we are most thankful for. Last year, Frankie's youth group teacher came up with an idea to think of things that are the colors of the rainbow that we are thankful for, and that is how the Rainbow of Thanksgiving was born. Here is this years list...

I am thankful for RED--WATERMELON. Don't you just love on a nice hot summer day, to cool down with a juicy watermelon, and the juice that just drips down your chin. I do. It has to be one of my favorite parts of summer. Look how big I can open my mouth, how much watermelon can I stuff in there?

I am thankful for ORANGE--PEACHES. I have had A LOT of pureed food over the past few months. Although, I do like most of the foods that I have tried, I must say that my favorite is peaches. I am much better at now keeping the food in my mouth and not on my chin, unless it is green beans.

I am thankful for YELLOW--CHEERIOS. Okay, so I know those little "O"s aren't yellow, but the box is, and you get the idea. Whoever invited these great finger snacks, can I just say "thank you!" They are wonderful. I can pick them up, and put them into my mouth, all by myself. They are the perfect snack.

I am thankful for GREEN-JOHN DEERE TRACTORS. I love to dig big holes in the backyard. I use my scoop to lift the dirt and put it into my trailer pulled by the trailer. I can spend hours working in the dirt. It does make Mommy upset, because the hole is right on the bottom of the steps of our deck...right in the middle of the walk way to our garage. She has stepped in it more than once, and twisted her ankle more than once. I am now supposed to dig my hole in another part of the backyard.

I am thankful for BLUE--JAY JAY the JET PLANE. A couple years ago, Gran went to the Smithsonian in Washington DC, and got me this little dye cast metal blue airplane. I named him Jay Jay, after my favorite television show. I take Jay Jay everywhere, and even sleep with him. There have been times when bedtime comes, that we all have to stop what we are doing, and search for my little blue airplane.

I am thankful for PURPLE--HEAVY COAT. This coat in our house is known as our "hairy" coats. They are extra warm, and let us go outside and play when it is cold outside. I can't wait for it to snow again, and then we can play outside with our "hairy coat".

I am thankful for PINK--FLOATIES. These great water wings helped me learn to swim by myself this summer. I love to swim. It is by far the most fun that I have on a nice hot summer day. Don't you love my pink sun shades too.

We are thankful for BROWN--MUD. Doesn't this look fun? We don't need to say much, except we both LOVE to get dirty. Ahh...we can't wait...only six more months to go.

We are thankful for GREY--TRUCKS. We love to drive around in our little Ford truck. It probably is pushing the 100k mark. Around and around our backyard. Right now it is in the shop, and our parts are on back order, but soon we will be out on the open road again. Hopefully, in the spring time, Daddy and Mommy will let us take it out on Brown Rd (of course they will be walking behind us)I am thankful for BLACK--MICKEY. Mickey is my best pal. He came to my birthday party, and I am going to his house this next May. I can't wait! I watch his show everyday, and read his books, and listen to his CD.

I am thankful for WHITE--PRINCESS CAT. Uncle Daniel and Aunt Ivanka, got me this cat when they came for a visit. It is something that I sleep with, and give lots of hugs. It talks to me and gives me kisses, Mommy is happy that it has an on/off switch on her back.

We had a hard time coming up with the list, not because we didn't have enough, but because we had too much to be thankful for. What are you thankful for? Can you make a list of your "Rainbow of Thanksgiving"?
