Outward dispays of affection

While making breakfast Sunday morning Mulu and Aaliyah were busy making this for me. I knew something was going on because they kept shouting "don't look Mama!" - and they didn't want Daddy's help - working on it all by themselves. I was super thrilled when I was finally allowed to look down the steps and see the message from the kiddos. It's even MORE perfect with the "Y U O" instead of "Y O U" (and as fate would have it "you" is on Mulu's spelling list for this week)

I won't have to think very hard of what I am thankful for at Thanksgiving - I have pretty awesome kids!
