Thankful!

so thankful...

I am thankful for four beautifully healthy children

and a husband that loves them as much as I do!

I am thankful for peace in my life

I am thankful for my entire family and all that I learn from them!

I am thankful for supportive friends

I am thankful for a body that lets me run and exercise with ease

I am thankful for a neighborhood where there are kids on every corner!

I am thankful for Sadie and her obnoxious kisses!

I am thankful for MY LIFE and being able to make my own choices

I am thankful for our FREEDOM

I am thankful for continuing my education through helping my kids with their homework (seriously, I have forgotten alot!)

I am thankful for a mother that keeps us all together and a dad that supports her!

I am thankful for the LOVE of my life and all that he does for me....

he continues to make me feel like I am the most important thing in his life!

I am thankful for the opportunity to be a mother and teach them all that I know, the good and the bad.....

My list could go on and on like,

food, sweets, diet coke, rainy days with hot chocolate, being able to listen to my kids argue and smile because I know that is what I sounded like with my siblings, lipgloss, great new running shoes, sidewalk chalk, tramps, animals, the sound of leaves crunching, sunny days at the pool.......

I will stop, for now!

Ethan monster

All I have to say is that this is 100% my fault...

Clara came downstairs (as I was on the computer, oops) and I asked her what Ethan was doing..

She said "oh, he is just upstairs cutting paper on the table"

"I have a few minutes until he does something bad", I said to myself.

Clearly I was a few minutes too late.

Ethan got ahold of Craig's headphones and this is what they look like now.

Cut in to twenty little pieces.

OOPS..

Sorry Craiger!

The Ethan monster strikes again.....

dun dun dun....

New Moon mania!!!!

Waiting, waiting, waiting.......

Eating Crown Burger, yum!!

Still waiting, waiting, waiting.....

Oh my, that's all I can say...

After viewing the movie at 5:30 and 12:01, I can say that I loved it

(even though sometimes I felt a little awkward watching a teeny bop show...

seeing that I will be 33 in just a few days, ha!)
