Thanksgiving Thursday

Been a long week over here, how about you? This week I am thankful for:

• Scott, most especially for him coming home on Tuesday to take care of all us sickies.
  

• Aaron and me time this week. We went to the pet store to get dog food and got to spend some one on one time. He's a big fan of watching the fish in the store and even said goodbye to them the entire walk to the car.

• Jill's cheesy smile. I pretty much have a photo everyday of her smiling, per her request. She'll love those when she's older.

• The illness being swift and not so bad. Now if we could just get rid of the leftover snot we'll be alright.

• All of our family and friends, you are the best!

• Dawn introducing me to Cupcake wines, so delish!

• The excitement my kids have when they hear we are going to the library (or house as they call it).

• My sister and niece getting the song Big Rock Candy Mountain permanently stuck in my head (sense the sarcasm). Oooooooh the buzzin' of the bees in the peppermint trees.....

• Scott's 15 year high school reunion coming up in a few weeks. I have my reasons for being excited, and his name is Joey Fatone.

• The stuffed cheetah surviving the illness that briefly plagued the house. It was touch and go for a while, but Jill was a terrific nurse.

• The awesome give away I'm hosting on my review blog (I have another coming tomorrow too!)

What are you thankful for this week? Link up or leave a comment letting me know!

Saturday Night Fun

Yesterday we spent the afternoon/evening with our friends the B6. They had us over for an awesome cookout and some pool time. I have to tell you this is the first time I've gone somewhere and not worried that my kids were going to destroy everything around them. They immediately started playing with the other kids and it was just an awesome night.


I also tried a new wine, it's a brand called Cupcake. Dawn has definitely made a client out of me. It was sooooo yummy! Maybe too yummy because it was gone pretty quick?
Like I said, it was a great, relaxing and fun night! Thanks again to the B6 for a great night! Cannot wait to do it again!
