Thankful Thursdays

I have been reading a lot of blogs lately and quite a few do some sort of post relating to thankfulness/gratefulness. I decided that you can never be too grateful and that I should to do this to remind myself how lucky I really am.

Today I am thankful that it's not raining.... with 4 boys in my house
I am thankful that I can send them out to play and not lose my sanity.
I am thankful that I have a big yard for them to play in.
I am thankful that I do not have 4 boys of my own.
I am thankful that my one is kind, and polite and sweet. (most of the time).



I am grateful for afternoon snacks on a picnic table in the shade.
I am grateful for cartoons that act like crack and keep them quiet for more than a minute.
I am grateful for the chocolate to soothe frazzled nerves like a tranquilizer.



I am most thankful that I only have one hour left until they get to go elsewhere home.

is it halloween yet?

So a few weeks ago I saw a sale on Buzz Lightyear costumes online so of course I had to get for Monkeyface.

 Can I just say he is so stinkin cute in this thing. I couldn't get enough of him. Running around, shooting his arm laser at everything. Was so happy that I already had his costume figured out and wouldn't have to pay and arm and a leg for it.

I mean look at that smile :)
Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
Major momma points here.





but then.......



we were at the store with my mom when I made the mistake of pointing out the Ironman costumes.

yes, my 2 1/2 year old LOVES Ironman.  Not that I can blame him because I <3 it also but come on.... a 2 year old. probably not going to win momma point on that one.....

but anyhow....

long story short.... he got that costume also...

so now we get to fight calmly discuss which costume will be worn come Oct 31st
