Thankful Thursday #4

Happy Thankful Thursday!


I am so Thankful for my kids.  I could write pages and pages why but to keep it short, I am Thankful that I don't have to worry about them getting in trouble today.  (Pumpkin is still young.. lol)

We had our sleepless nights with the boys during their teens but we made it through and their mishaps became learning lessons for everyone.

Spice just told me about a close friend who is dealing with her boyfriends possible jail time and it really made me think about how much I love my kids.

OH BOY... don't get me wrong... there are still times I want to put my '20 somethings' in a timeout and Spice still gets lectured by us, but there are things as parents we simply take for granted when we have healthy, happy children.

I am so extremely blessed!

Love you all - Pumpkin, Spice, Jake, Bran, Suzy, Snickerdoodle and Baby Girl to be.

What are you thankful for today?

What? Wednesday! - #4

Happy WHAT! Wednesday Everyone! 

The WHAT? Wednesday! questions is a quick one!

What was your favorite memory from YESTURDAY?

Mine was going to the grocery store with Pumpkin after a long day of looking at numbers.  It was refreshing to spend 10 minutes deciding on what cookies she wanted for lunches.

Happy Crafting everyone... HUGS ~ Denine ********************************************************************************
