Before I tell you what I'm thankful for, I want to share a couple of pics:
Did we get snow or did we get snow?? This was taken right after I let the dog out so she could accompany dh to take care of the chickens. Notice how she wasn't going to venture into the deep parts? 
Everybody and their dogs (really) were talking about peanut butter on Twitter for a while - the tainting and other topics. Inspired by Joanna's post, I made my own peanut butter "cups" (they were more like peanut butter balls). They were kind of ugly (like Turtles candy), but very tasty and quite easy to make. (ds#2 made the heart plate...which is for sale, in case anyone was wondering *smile*)Anyway, this week, I'm thankful for:
1) ds#1 - who is my spell checker/editor and bird ID expert. He'll turn 13 on Sunday - may he always find Scientific American and LEGOs more interesting than violent video games and other unwholesome teen activities. *sniffle*
2) ds#2 - who is my human GPS. I'd be lost a thousand times while driving if he didn't know the exact direction to places. I know it's probably a skill which is a by-product of his ASD (autism spectrum disorder...I get annoyed when people use acronyms they don't explain), but I still appreciate it since I'm directionally challenge.
I believe I'm suppose to pick 2 winners for my giveaway tomorrow. Come back for more fun!

I love you made your own PB balls.
Mmm..peanut butter balls...
those look so good.
My dog hasn't figured out that staying on the porch is a better choice...she hops through it like a jack rabbit and comes back with snowballs all over her.
my Ds#1 is like your ds#2, I can't tell you how many times he's gotten me unlost...which is fortunate because GPS's don't work well up here.
Blonde Duck, not quite as good as some of the stuff you post on your blog, but it'll have to do. ;)
Stace, once my dog does venture into the snow, she loves it and collects plenty of her own snowballs too. LOL! It's good to have our own human GPS, isn't it?
Oh, can I borrow both your boys?! I don't think I could spell anymore if it weren't for spellchecker on the computer. And I can lost in a city I don't know even when I was *just* told directions. Trust me, I've done it on more than one occasion
free stuff? did i hear free stuff? :P
whats your recipe for the peanut butter balls? they look YUMMY. :)
Hi Teresa~ Great blog! Now that's snow~ your precious little pup knows not to go too far..smarty.
Another piece of beau-ti-ful pottery dish, and WOW homemade peanut butter cups.
I used my pottery dish for Thanksgiving to hold extra napkins...every loved it!
Hi Teresa!
Thanks so much for such a sweet comment on my soap blog - I really appreciate any comments that will help my soap look better! I love your thankful post - what a great way to remember how blessed we all are!
I don't care how ugly the peanut bars are, I'd eat em and love em any day! The uglier the tastier :)
Can I borrow the GPS son #2 cuz I'm so directionally challenged. I'd run into a wall on the road if someone didn't tell me to turn.
WHAAAAAAT?????? You are on Twitter? I didn't know that! Come find me! oikology101
Okay, it is very late and I'm feeling loopy, but did you post the recipe for those peanut butter balls and I'm missing it? If not, could you? Or send it to me? I found out that recipes aren't copyrighted, so it's okay to post it, though courtesy/blogger etiquette a link and your own comments, which you already have done! (I learned this when I posted my recipe recently, I had to ask around.) :-) I'm glad you posted this, I read Johanna's post and was so glad to hear that Reese's are safe as that is what I bought my kids for Valentine's! I've been debating whether to give them to them or not.
I love the idea of Thankful Thursday! It's good to remember what is truly important. So I'm trying to write a novel here it seems...
I've been dubbed as the human gps at my house too. Excited about your new blog! What a useful tool and great idea. I'll definitely come back and keep tabs on it!
Yeah, 2 days into my blogging career and I've already outsourced...
Egassner, I'll rent them out for a fee...LOL!
Lisa, did my drawing for the winners yesterday. PB "cups" recipe to come... 8)
Carrie-Gigi, you dear! I hope your guests liked your new napkin plate!
Janet, thanks! I am not kidding when I said that you (and your sister) have a great eye for lovely things!
Michelle-Pixie, LOL! I'll share my recipe in a while. Like I said to Elizabeth, I'll rent my kids out. ;D
Carrie-Oikology...I'm following ya, chickie!
Maureen, *chuckle* I'm always feeling a bit loopy. ;D I haven't posted the recipe (such as it is) yet. Will do so tonight or tomorrow.
Emily, you're so lucky that you're the human GPS! I have to rely on my child. :}
Ryan, LOL! At least you outsourced to a very cute thang.
It's a good thing you don't live in the same city as your parents, they'd need to borrow DS#2 for forever.
those peanut butter drops look fantastic.
