The Tree of Gratitude

In the spirit of Thanksgiving...  We started this project last night in the heavy rain.  We brought out flashlights and went on the hunt for our tree branch.  Afterwards, Andy insisted on working on the project first instead of dinner (close to 7pm and he's usually the foodie whining for food before meal time).  So I cut out leaves while Andy brainstormed what to write on them.  He had a lot gratitudes to give.  We addd a few more and taped it all up tonight.  One of the gratitudes Andy said was for doing this project.  I seconded that.

Yesterday was an action packed and heavy rainy day.  We went to the Little School for its open house.  I like their philosophy.  We then drove to Seattle to meet up with Sarah and her kids at the Frye Art museum.  Zoe the oldest (~9 years) was quite an artist, drew in a sketch book as we looked at the pieces.  Andy was all ready to go to our next "surprise" destination (I didn't tell him where or he would have insisted on going to the second place first) when we walked in the museum, so it was a short visit.  We then had yummy dim sum, and then went by a pastry shop and a grocery (stocked up on goodies for the road trip tomorrow) in China town.  It was mid-afternoon by the time we got home and by the time we finished a couple lessons and flashcard games, it was dark already. The day went by fast!
