Thankful Thursday

This week is a beautiful week to think about all the things we are thankful for. It is said by listing the things you are thankful for can make you 25% happier, and I am all for that!
1. I am thankful for the rain. It may be annoying to be out in, but it makes for such a beautiful Oregon.
2. I am thankful for late night TV, or early morning. I get to watch all the old shows I watched when I was younger, while Alivia eats (that kid takes FOREVER sometimes!)
3. I am thankful for the big mugs the hospital gave me. They are 32 oz and insulated, so its super easy to see how much I am drinking. And 8 glasses doesn't seem like nearly as much when its only two big mugs!
4. I am thankful for my mom. She took my two girls and my best friends three kids to the Fire Department's open house last weekend while we were at the funeral. I would have loved to take them, and didn't think they would be able to go when I learned mom would have all 5, but she was a BRAVE woman and took them all for nearly three hours out, all alone!!
5. I am thankful for the little singing voices I hear in the back of my van. To hear my two older babies singing twinkle twinkle together is a beautiful thing. I can't wait until Natalie starts talking more and can sing the other songs with McKayla. :)

  2. I'm not sure why my last attempt didn't post...I'm going to try it again and I bet it'll post both...sorry.

    I love Nick at Nite! I've seen all my old favorites again!

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
