Thanksgiving Thursday

For those of you that don't know what Thanksgiving Thursday is, it is the one time during the week where you stop and basically count your blessings. Even if you've had one of those weeks, I promise you can find at least one thing to be thankful for, no matter how big or small.

This week I am thankful for:

• Scott giving me 2 hours to do nothing yesterday. He even took the kids to Mimi and Paw Paw's so I could have the house to myself (I was climbing the walls after 30 minutes).

• Aaron's ever expanding vocabulary, which now includes "My turn! My turn!", even if it's not his turn his turn.

• Jill's creative/artistic side, which includes acting out scenes from movies, coloring and yelling the word "arabesque" while doing one.
  

• The way my parents tell a story, I only hope I can make my kids laugh as hard as they do.

• Mimi and Paw Paw having us for dinner on Labor Day and making the kiddos favorite cookies (ginger molasses).

• Finishing my first class, I got a B, I'm not thrilled I got a B though. Should have been an A.

• My friend Jenn's son B, he is so good with our kids and they love him. Some day in the very very very far future he will make an awesome dad. Did I mention in the very very very very far future?

• An awesome librarian in the kids department. She's so sweet, the kids love her and always say hi. She even came out from the back office yesterday to say hi to them.

• Florida State and Notre Dame winning their first games of the season, let's keep it that way guys.

• All the sweet comments from my feature day.
  

• All the amazing sponsors we have gotten for the End of Summer Blog Party, we're around 25 prizes which is awesome (and they're really great prizes, one even made Lani and I say "Oh my God!").

Way back When-esday: Old Blue Eyes

Dateline: September 2008
Age: 4 months

I love this photo! Look how blue Jill's eyes were, they're more hazel now which bums me out. I was hoping she would keep the blue eyes. I can't believe this was two years ago, totally seems like yesterday. It's nice to know that some things haven't changed since this photo, Aaron is currently in my lap sucking his thumb like he's doing in the photo.

Play along with Cheryl at Twinfatuation!

Featured Blogger Day!

Today I'm the featured blogger at Multiples and More! I know what you're thinking, totally unfair since I'm a co-author, but Lani and I were talking and we realized nobody really knows about us, except our names and whatever we wrote in the 'about us' section. It was definitely interesting being on the receiving end of our interview. Thanks for the great questions Lani!



In other news, we went to Mimi and Paw Paw's yesterday for some labor day festivities that should have included swimming, but you know, it rained....a lot. The kids seemed unphased because they got to play with their favorite plastic containers and spoons. Makes me wonder why we buy toys.
