Lesson Learned...Hopefully!

Lately, it seems like our boys have been extremely whiny about everything and anything. It seems like when they want something, they want it right then. And work for it...are you kidding? Well even though, Clint and I are to blame for the way are kids are. Tonight, we finally had enough! Clint sat Tanner down and talk to him about the importance of being thankful. He sent him to his room afterwards to think about what they talked about and to write a list of things he was grateful for. After a little bit, this is what he came downstairs with:

Tanner's letter in his own words:

Tanner's things hes thankfall for,

I am thankfall for my family, my tv, my close (clothes), my shirt, my shoes, my XBOX, my books, my home, my cars, my toys, my money, my dad, my mom, my school, my yard, my bikes, my bed, my bathroom, my food, my movies, my frij (fridge), my body, the C4 sistum (system), and how you are so so so nice to me, and I am thankful for the bills you pay and my pants and the things that you buy for me and the things you do for me. When I really think how cool of parents I got it just shocks me and you probly say "we are not that good" but you really are the best ever to walk the earth and I have the best brothers and sister in the world. But when I say things are bad about you I still love you and I am so so so sorry for being so unthankfall and I would go across the world for you and our family. I love you guys so so so so so much that I can't even tell you.

Love Tanner P

Tanner~You are such a sweet boy! I love the letter that you wrote to us tonight. I think our whole family needs to try a little harder to be more thankful. Let's all work harder on that -k-

I love you tons! xoxo Mom
