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 having a four day weekend last weekend. It was a nice break, and even though we didn't do all that much, it was nice to have a break and relax.
  

• Aaron, who is in love with our dog right now. He about had a total breakdown when Scott took her for her "spa" day.
  

• Jill, my budding artist. Between painting (her face blue), stamping and coloring, I may have my own art museum by the end of the week.

• Family no matter if they are near or far (cue Celine Dion: Wherever you arrrrreeeeeeeee).

• An amazing dinner out with the Billings and then another great dinner with Dawn on Tuesday.
  

• Tax free weekend, it was awesome.
  
  
• Certain opportunities not working out, ultimately there is a reason and maybe that reason is that something bigger and better is coming.

What are you thankful for? You can leave your thoughts in the comment section or link up to your own post.

Mommy and Me Monday

Hosted by Krystyn at Really, Are You Serious?

This weekend definitely went by quickly. Saturday we had our friends over and had a great dinner, not to mention great conversation! Yesterday though, yesterday was a very chill day. It rained on and off pretty much the entire day. This weather naturally translates to zero motivation for me.

The kids and I kept busy though, we colored (Jill's favorite), built block towers and yelled "OH NO!" when they fell over (Aaron's favorite) and then did "airplane rides" (their favorite, my favorite for 30 seconds).


They love to ask "Are you ready?" when I say "yes" they then do a countdown "Three, two, one, BLAST OFF!!!!!" They could do airplane rides for a good solid hour, Mommy can make it 20 minutes if I'm lucky (this depends greatly on how many times Aaron gets an airplane ride).

Tax free weekend is coming up here in Florida and I got this great tip from the lovely people at Chipotle:

Eat at any Orlando Chipotle on Tuesday, August 10, or Wednesday, August 11, and save the receipt. Then go back any time during tax “free” weekend, August 13 – 15 and receive a free burrito, salad, order of tacos or bowl with your receipt. No charge. No tax. No strings attached.

Guess who's eating at Chipotle this week????
