Thankful Thursday

There is always so much to be thankful for.  Today, however, I am simply thankful for the Magic Eraser.  I haven't found anything yet that it cannot erase...thank goodness!  

Little Bro is famous for leaving his "mark"on our walls, furniture, toys, ect. 

And this is why we haven't bought a new kitchen table! 

But...it has magically disappeared with the Magic Eraser! 

Who knew one sweet little boy could do so much damage!  My mother always says, "Be thankful that he is so active.  You wouldn't want him just sitting around."  This comes from a mother of seven boys.  I can't imagine what she went thru!  

What are you thankful for Today? 

Thankful Thursday

As a mother of a two year old who is defining the term "terrible twos", I am realizing that I need to take time to count my blessings.  I would encourage you to take time once a week and reflect on the great things in your life, because no matter what is going wrong, there is always something to be thankful for.

Today I am Thankful

...that I am able to stay home with my children while all my teacher friends go back to work. 

...that I have best friends that I can call when I am stressed out and need a laugh and they are always there.

...for a mother who lives five minutes away.

...for new wireless internet.  Now I can hook up my wireless printer to print coupons from the couch.  Woo hoo!

...for caffeine and chocolate. 

...for two active boys.  No matter how much trouble they get into, they always find a way to make me smile.

...for an awesome baby!  She sleeps, she eats, she poops,  and she smiles & coos at mommy.  She is perfect! 

...for my in-laws who are always willing to drop everything to watch the kids when we need them. 

Thankful Thursday

A thankful heart is a happy heart!  I find that no matter how bad my day or week may be, if I take a minute to stop and think of something that I am thankful for my attitude instantly changes.


Today I am Thankful...

...that even though money is tight, there is always a little left over to enjoy a McDonald's picnic in the park and an afternoon at the zoo.

...for a sister who loves to be around my children, even when they are crabby!

...for a healthy baby girl who allows me to sleep six hours straight at night.

...that all the weird stuff that little brother sticks in his mouth doesn't make him sick.

...for surprise meals.  (my cousin's wife brought a meal over Wednesday night unexpectedly)

...that I have a husband who works hard physically all day, but will come home at night and play soccer with the boys.

What are you Thankful for today?
