Count on It!

Here is Clara making a snowball back when we had that  ONE day of snow we had over the entire holidays.  
Today it will be TWO weeks since Christmas and it's starting to feel like the decorations have been up too many days.  Let the take down marathon begin.

Benjamin is sadly playing Lego on his own because Clara's best buddy Reed is over and THREE'S a crowd!
Today I bought Craig FOUR new desperately needed dress shirts for work. When I showed him my fabulous find, he announced he had ordered three online three days earlier and forgot to mention it.


A Little Lesson
You can count on the fact that no matter what life deals us there are always two ways of looking at it . . .
Geographically speaking . . .
I'm sure Hawaiians and Haitians alike would be grateful for even one hour of snow.
Mothers in North Korea, would probably love the freedom to put up and take down decorations from any religious celebration they choose.
Most little boys in Nigeria would probably be delighted to spend the afternoon alone with a drawer full of Lego.
And the average wage of a husband in Sierra Leone per day is $1. Owning seven new dress shirts would be like winning the lottery.

The glass is surley half full.  Count on it.
