Fun

Tonight I am thankful for the fun I get to have with my kids. We have had movie nights the past few evenings and it's been really fun. They have seen four new movies and loved them all. We even had a pizza picnic in the living room tonight while we watched The Lion King. It was great!

TGIF

Today I'm thankful it's the weekend! My voice is still not right and I'm ready to relax and enjoy some down time. :)
Before the down time can begin I have to get my monthly shopping trip out of the way. I'm glad it's suppose to be great weather all weekend!

Voice

The head cold I have been battling all week got the best of me today. I woke up without my voice. It made for an interesting day at home and at work. It's starting to come back some tonight though. Needless to say, I'm thankful for my voice. :)

Colds

Colds suck. Me and both kiddos have a head cold. It's nothing serious just annoying! This week is a busy week for us but I'm thankful for the downtime and the rest I have been getting. I'm ready for some slower paced days...only about 5 weeks left of school now!
Tonight we had our end of the year Awana Award ceremony at church and it was a fun celebration. I'm so proud of all the kids we had this year. They all did such an awesome job memorizing books and verses and participating in games. I'm so proud of Zane, he finished his book and got several awards for attendance in Sunday School, uniform, etc. he worked so hard this year and it showed! And my little Claire, she got a certificate for participating. Next year she will understand better about memorizing scripture verses and such. I'm do thankful we live in a community that offers the Awana program. I loved it when I was younger and I love that my kids enjoy it and can't wait to go. It's such a good foundation for them and I'm excited to see what the coming years hold for us all. It was fun to help out this year, I really enjoyed working with the first graders and can't wait for another year with them!

Laughter

I'm so thankful for my kids and the joy they bring me. They say and do the funniest, cutest, and silliest things these days. I love how they are constantly growing into their own personalities. They crack me up with some of the things they say. I don't know where they get this stuff but it's never a dull moment!
I'm also thankful for coworkers that I enjoy. I love my job and the people I see everyday- both kids and adults. This job has been such a blessing in many ways.

My Daughter

Today I am thankful for my sweet girl. Claire is so much fun and so full of adventure, fun and snuggles. She loves to dance and sing and both totally melt my heart. It's adorable to watch her performing. I can't believe how big she is getting but I'm looking forward to all the girly firsts with her.
These pictures are from her dancing. She requested I take them while she was in motion. :)

Fun

I got new glasses yesterday and I'm so thankful for them! I'm enjoying the transition lenses and loving having "sunglasses" for the first time. These glasses were worth every penny!
Tonight, I'm also thankful for nights when I lay and read. I love the time spent in a good book. I have loved reading my whole life and I'm so glad I can find the time to enjoy it still. Nothing beats a good book, a cozy blanket and something to sip at the end of the day (or week).
