The Thankful Chart

The other nght, whil the rest of the kids were at various practices.  Annie and I were home alone and decided to try a craft.  We made The Thankful Chart.  It was inspired by the one on "We are that family" blog on the side bar(you know me and the linky thingy).  We try and write things down every evening at dinner, that we are thankful for.  They remember when I forget!
Here are some pictures.
