Better late than never right? I planned on doing my Thankful blog on Thanksgiving, but I was visiting family, and got tied up making blurb books while having a Gilmore Girls marathon. :)
So, here we go...I am thankful for:
my sweet kids
my family...i dont know what I'd do for lunch everyday if I didn't have my parents & sister
my fun in laws
my perfect husband...sorry honey, I really do think you are perfect. (he doesn't like me to say that)
my faith, and that of those around me
good books
a cute house
funky beads
jeans that fit
a Halloween party every year where we can make fools of ourselves, and laugh till our stomachs hurt
texting
potatoes
Curtis' job
my car
curtis' massages...i need the knots rubbed out of my neck and shoulders pretty much every day.
a baby who is kicking like crazy every day letting me know things are ok. (most of you knew this...if not, I'm out of the closet!!) I'm 17 weeks.
a clean kitchen floor
my son who is now stronger than I am, and pushes the cart at Costco, loads it, and then unloads it when we get home. :)
Abbey who makes me smile with the cute things she says every single day
Sydney who is the happiest, most even tempered child I've ever known. Not much gets her down.
Great friends who understand the need for girls trips
photography & my camera
blogs
my mom for passing a smidge of her craftiness to me, and for being one of my very best friends
itunes
Festivus
an awesome extended family
Jenny, who makes my hair cute
a certain few friends whom I could tell anything to, and be myself always, and they'd still love me
zofran (nausea medicine)
my rainbow vacuum
my comfy bed
photoshop
cranberry juice & crushed ice
never having to do the dishes :)
scotcheroos...rice crispies, butterscotch, peanut butter & chocolate, enough said.
a great school for my kids
pedicures...long overdue right now
The Pointe (a local resort we stay in once a year...I look forward to it)
lipgloss
purses...I change way too often
movies
my squishy pillow
a perfect husband....oh, did I already say that??
I could go on and on...I'm thankful for my life, and those of you who are in it!!! I am greatful for the experiences I have had that have made me a stronger person, and helped me to realize I need to live each day to it's fullest.
I am just thankful to be on that list!
What would I do without my girls?
By the way, I think you got more than a Little of my talent, You passed me up along time ago! Look what you have done with your Scrapbooking!

That was a fun read.
I am thankful for jeans that fit too, just some days they fit better than other days. ;)
It is nice to come out of the closet, isn't it?!?! ;) I am thankful everything is going well for you!!!
I need Jenny to come work on my hair. :)

Thanks girls..you are all such good friends!
Annette...I hadn't made that popcorn for a long time, and just had it over Thanksgiving. Now the addiction starts all over again. :) Glad you still make it.
I will post the m&m popcorn & scotcheroo recipe for you all, but then you can't get mad at me when you gain a few from your new addiction!! What the heck though, it's the holidays right?

Um...scotcheroos and marshmallow and m&m popcorn? How could I not know about these things??? I see a new blog post!
Why oh why does Curtis not like being called perfect? When something is true it must be accepted. Deal with it Curtis.
Go kicking baby! kick kick kick!

I agree, Zofran is something to be very thankful for!
Glad that the baby is moving up a storm...it is a good daily reassurance.
Scotcheroos....I think I need that recipe.
