Feeling Thankful

Today I am thankful for:

*A mother who will come get my children and keep them overnight, take them and do fun things and then drive them all the way back home the next night. She deserves an award. (Thanks Mom)

*A husband who will go to the store for me at 9:00 at night while I am watching SYTYCD because I need a good snack. Something like spinach artichoke dip and pita chips. And he calls while he's there to make sure he's getting me exactly what I want. (Thanks Riley)

*A friend who always offers to help watch my kids and helps me out more times than I count. (Thanks Kristen)

*My brother who commented at our family picnic on Saturday while Tam and I were throwing a softball around that "we don't throw like girls", even though I hadn't thrown a softball in a looonnnggg time. (Thanks Jer)

*A daughter who will come over and rub my feet because she can tell I've had a hard day and wants to do something nice for me. (Thanks Kendle)

*A friend who is totally unselfish and brings me extra milk. (Thanks Nan)

*All of my friends with their cute little babies reminding me that all of this torture is worth it in the end. Have you seen this picture from Nan's blog? I could just die it's so cute. (Thanks ladies)

*Thankful for my little teeny cherry tomato plant that already has some baby tomatoes showing on it giving me a nice surprise yesterday.

*My children who let me sleep in this morning, because I was soooooo tired. Kendle even got her own breakfast and played on the computer really quietly. What a treat.

It doesn't take a lot to make me happy. I used to have this quote hanging up by our kitchen:

"Crumbs of happiness, make a loaf of contentment."

Love Danyelle's comment ;)

I bought some Pita chips and Hummus the other day at Costco, and I have been in snack heaven. I love reading about your pregnancy. I also love that our pregnancies are about 8 seconds apart ;)

I love your quote. Maybe I'll post that on my fridge too. Sometimes I need that reminder.

I could not eat Pita Chips while I was pregnant last summer. I'm glad you are getting some good snacks and that you were able to sleep in this morning. What a treat after being at Cub Camp all day yesterday. This was a sweet post! Thanks! Love that picture of those cute babies!! :) Oh yeah, one of them is mine! Ha!

Did you see the pita chips and artichoke dip at camp yesterday? I grabbed a few bites myself...

I was introduced to pita chips AND get this...that frito bean dip out of the can (which always seems somehow wrong to me, but it tastes so good)!
