201. For the big shout out that will happen this week when another class is completed! WOOT!! On Wednesday, the middle one will finish fourth grade reading!
202. For the other big shout out that will happen this week as we complete our last class day of co-op. Co-op is a blessing, but always by about the time spring break rolls around, I am ready to be done!
203. For Reese's peanut butter eggs.
204. For the fact that Reese's peanut butter eggs are only available for a short time, and for the fact that I won't have time to go searching the stores for 50% off Easter candy.

207. For the ability to write up lesson plans for the week and to put them in someone else's hands. Y'all might want to pray for Jim. The girls try to take advantage of him from time to time. I am writing down their assignments in detail, and they do know full well what is expected of them. (Stay strong, Jim. Don't fall for them batting their big brown eyes at you!)
208. For an entirely comical start to our Easter celebration, which will be shared later this week.
209. For MD Anderson Cancer Center.
210. For the fact that mom's surgery went well and that she is recovering at home. She will be going back on Friday to find out what comes next.
