although I am always up for a good round of YMCA! Today I am thankful for the people in the saying "it takes a village to raise a child."Today Ellie came home from school happy as a clam because one of the teachers at school (who she couldn't identify) gave her one of the little wash cloths that is all scrunched up in a shrink-wrap package.
Apparently recess was a bit of an ordeal for her today. The girls she usually plays with said that they didn't want to be friends, so instead she was playing with a moth. Then, she didn't hear the whistle calling her inside and she was left all alone on the playground. When she realized she was alone, she tried to go in, but they lock the doors during the day for safety, so she sat down and cried until this teacher came and found her.
But, when she got home, she assured me that things would be better tomorrow as long as she got a good night's sleep tonight, and really, today was a good day, because she got the Care-Bear washcloth after her lousy recess.
So, once again, I am thankful for the "Village People" who look out for my kids and make things better when I can't be there to help.

Awww. Poor Ellie. Kids can be so mean. I'm glad someone gave her that washcloth so that she could feel better.
Here is byu's pride and joy, austin collie, in his halloween costume. This is 100% real from his wife's blog. This is relevant because I think he's trying to be one of the village people you alluded to initially.
