A million pairs of flip flops

We try to encourage a sense of thankfulness in this household.  In order to make it fun and more tactile we put them on colored post its that change shape with the season.  For spring we had flowers and butterflies.  For summer we had Suns and for Autumn we have apples.  I just found an old sheet of gratitude's or blessings and thought I'd share them because they make me happy.  I'll include the age of the kids who added them.
