[April 13, 2012] Thankful for...fundraising.  My mom and I are going to Zuni, New Mexico on a mission trip with our church this summer.  We are doing some fundraising through a flower sale, so we made up a flyer and stuffed them in all the church mailboxes this afternoon. :)

[April 12, 2012] Thankful for...watermelon!  One of my favorite summer fruits...we had a mini watermelon that I cut up for supper tonight - it was good!

[April 11, 2012] Thankful for...new Tupperware.  Weird, I know. :)  I went to a Tupperware garage sale today and stocked up on a few containers...I really like the colors of them!

[April 10, 2012] Thankful for...changing weather, again!  Today it snowed a little bit, and the snowflakes were HUGE!

[April 9, 2012] Thankful for...tulips!  These are right outside my classroom window - they're so pretty.  The tulips are blooming in Holland, with Tulip Time still about 3 1/2 weeks away yet...I don't think there will be many left when it starts on May 5. :(

[April 8, 2012] Thankful for...Easter!  In our message at church this morning our pastor talked about his recent trip to Israel, and some of the traditions that people have there when someone passes away.  He showed us a picture of a cemetery, where people will lay rocks at loved ones' tombstones and recall stories about that person, or talk about how they will follow in their footsteps.  We were invited to place a rock on our communion table as a symbol of us following in Jesus' footsteps, and take a rock home to remind us of this as well.
