What Are Your Kids Thankful For?

My kids brought home an activity they did at school today and it said: I am thankful for __________ because_____________. They both wrote: mom, because she makes us warm breakfast in the morning. :) This morning we had crock pot steel cut oats with fresh raspberries and cream. They love it!

My 8 year old came to and stated she is very thankful for her family and the fact she has a home and food and tv. My 5 year old doesn't talk but I know he's thankful for life in general.

Rachel:

Sorry - I had to ask them...

Greg: family, home and having toys to play with, a great brother and parents and God (that one I love!!) and friends...Christopher, Diego, DaSean...

Nicky: my M.'s good cooking (LOL!! No he really said that!!), my parents, our home, God, family and friends!!

Both of them said our soldiers!!!

I think I'm doing something right!!!

This is going to sound self-serving but they say they are glad to have the cool mom.

Both my boys made a list at Chapel yesterday.

My 3 y/o's list:
batman cake
cake
army men
baseballs
superman
and milk

My 7 y/o's list:
God, my country and all the people in the world

My 4 year old's blankie is her very best friend. So, of course that's the first thing she said. One of my daycare kids told me that she is thankful for sculptures and another one said Plankton. Lol. Happy Thanksgiving!

"Leaves" is what she has been saying all week. She brought a paper home from school stating she was thankful for dinosaurs.

My daughter is 4 (5 in less than two weeks). Her Pre-K class had a Thanksgiving Prayer Service and Performance on Monday. Her headband said she was thankful for "My Michael"...that is what she calls her big brother (20 years old) when she isn't calling him "Baby Boy". When she had to say what she was thankful for it was "My Daddy". So sweet!

I just asked each kid as they passed by me while playing hide-and-seek.

11 yr boy- I am thankful for you mom!

9 yr girl- I am thankful for God, you mom and our whole family

5 yr boy- I am thankful for poop!

Soo, there you have it. Random thankfulness from my crazy household.

Good luck and best wishes at having a terrific turkey day!!

My (almost) 8 year old) told me she was thankful for: her family, friends, house, teacher, her brother, her pets, food, sunshine... oh and santa claus. haha!!

Just asked my 8.5 year old.
He said he is thankful for a grandmother that plays baseball with him!

My 5 year olds go to answer (and it has been documented on school projects at least twice in the past 2 years): Her dog!

Like Lynn, my son (3 1/2) had he was thankful for his Mom :). We keep asking him and he says the same thing. Hubby's kinda jealous (even sweeter)!

Hi - My kindergartner made this list:

"I'm thankful for:
My family
My cat
My brother Matt
My beautiful jewelry
Indians
Costumes"

:)

We did an activiy about thankfulness today while foodwas getting ready.. my 6.5 yr old girl really surprised me... She said she's veryyyy very thankful for a home(we just moved in a week ago after a long search over the summer!), thankful that she knew her gramma/oma Lauretta(she passed when daughter was 3.5) & thankful that oma's in heaven watching over her(which made me cry), thankful daddy has a job so we can buy groceries, especially the junk food kind(hahaha), and thankful that we took out the "right" boxes out of storage because they were the ones with her clothes and toys.

My 4 year old says he's thankful for "being able to ride on his bike"! lol
Out of the mouth of babes! God Bless all you mama's out there (and your babes) and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We absolutely did!!

Updated

I answered earlier about my 4 year old (riding his bike) and had to ask the 6 year old when he woke up. I'm almost embarrased to tell you what he said! He said he's thankful that he's cute and presents! I think I may need to work on things a little! Yikes! lol

my son's first answer was food. of course! lol.
