Today I am Thankful..

Thankful for all the people who emailed me, reminding me how lucky I am after reading yesterday's post
Thankful to get up at 7:30 with the boys and make blueberry muffins with Austin while Logan watched Disney
Thankful to stay in our pjs most of the day
Thankful to finally fold all the laundry and put it away
Thankful to be building train tracks even though they didn't survive the day
Thankful to be able to take out the play dough and delight my children with creating whatever they wanted
Thankful to take out the high chairs and bring in the kid's picnic table
Thankful to watch the boys eat lunch at their picnic table - thankful I caught Austin spoon feeding Dakota:)
Thankful Logan told me all day long when he had to go to the potty
Thankful I had a few quiet moments during nap time to sit - I never do that, I am always doing something, keeping the house perfect, for what? So I sat, turned on the TV and watched Grey's Anatomy of Lifetime - I have never watched a show in the middle of the day in the two years I have been home - WOW
Thankful to hear Austin call from his crib "Mama I up, Get ME"
Thankful to hear Logan say "oh dammit" - not a nice thing to say but I am glad I was here
Thankful to be the one to explain to Logan that we don't talk like that
Thankful to hear Calliou on in the background
Thankful to hear the boys run around and laugh at each other
Thankful to go to Rita's for ice and watch the boys with their papa
Thankful Logan didn't have an accident during this outing
Thankful to go to Kroger and be able to buy groceries
Thankful to the older woman who came up to me and said "I know its tough right now, but remember they grow up; they look so happy, you can see it in their eyes.  If i lived next door to you I would babysit them." I said "Thank you and I wish you did live next door to me" and she said "me too."
Thankful to get my boys balloonies (as they call balloons) when we were leaving Kroger
Thankful to make dinner that my kids ate all of
Thankful to give the boys a bath and watch them splash water all over the floor - who cares its just water :)
Thankful to hear the boys to rush the front door as Brian walked in
Thankful to have a dance party in our living room
Thankful to sit and talk with my husband
Thankful to be able to be here to take the following pictures
