Wordless Wednesday- October 31/Thankful Thursday- November 1

Seems difficult to do a happy Wordless post when all around us is incredible devastation.  The towns where we were during the summer (Ocean City, NJ) and in September (Bethany Beach, DE) have had unspeakable damage.  All around us are power outages and bad flooding.  I hear generators humming as we speak.  Thank God, we are all ok.  Except for a screen door, we have no damage at all and our power remained on.

But, it is a happy post.  A grateful post, thanking God for our safety.  So, this now becomes my Thankful Thursday post, as well.  On Tuesday, we played hookie from school (since all other schools were closed, I figured why not? :-)) and baked Halloween cookies and cake.

On Wednesday (Halloween), we played some fun math card games and the kids had fun with logic and their new tanagrams.  And I am thankful.

P.S. If you haven't entered already, I would love for you to check out my Advent giveaway.  An author was gracious enough to give me an autographed copy of her Christian fiction book entitled "Destination: Bethlehem, An Advent Family Adventure."  It is a wonderful journey through the Holy Land to be read with your children each day leading up to Christmas Eve.  I know you would love it!  Thanks!  :-)

I love the photos of your sweet children learning and having fun together. So glad that you and your family are safe and that damage for your was minimal. Still praying for those who suffered much in the storm.

I am so glad you were spared during the storm Lisa. I love all the pics of the kids doing such fun things. All those great cookies!

So happy that you have been safe. These last few weeks have been weeks that truly remind me just how blessed I am. I hug my daughter tighter. Tell all my children I love them more and take every opportunity to not only tell my hubby I love him, but to show him as well.
Btw I love that cake pan!!!
