1. Hand-me-down clothes. I am so amazed at how many hand-me-down clothes we have for all 3 clothes. My youngest has the most, but that is not surprising since she benefits from the other 2 cast-offs, but still my oldest daughter & son also have a lot of second clothes. This is a huge savings since it is only some socks, under things & maybe an outfit or two. I am so very thankful for every one's generosity.
2. Children who like hand-me-down clothes. None of my children have hit the stage where second hand clothes are "un-cool"...then again, I still like getting free clothes! But, I digress, the week it takes to pull out the summer clothes & see what fits is actually a lot of fun. All 3 love trying on the clothes & showing them off....lots of trips to the full length mirror to twirl and so forth (okay the last one is only the girls.)
3. Everyone pitching in to clean and not complain! Steve had some friends over today for gaming session, the children happily worked this morning getting the downstairs clean & straight for the guests. Maybe because we take the same time & effort for their friends?
4. A husband who has better hearing than me! Last night, our cat (for whatever reason) threw-up in our bed. I slept right through it. Steve not only heard it, but jumped right up & started taking care of the problem. He seriously had made a really good dent in cleaning it up before I woke up...and then he still did the majority of the work. I am equally thankful for that as well!
5. And along with #4, is again, the gratitude for indoor plumbing, modern conveniences like washers & dryers. So thankful I can at any time of the day or night wash and dry! I have personally done the wash by hand & line dry (not a lot of fun)...so in emergencies, I am always super thankful.
Happy Walking!
