Grateful

I am grateful for:

Ethen climbing up to sleep on his brother

Two sweet cousins sleeping together
Ethen climbing onto the couch and falling asleep
Ethen pouring all of the goldfish out and putting it all back into the bag
And for me, more ink pads!!!

Grateful

I am grateful for:

My husband taking care of me even though he has been sick too

My kids taking care of me for a change!

Getting over having strep throat, and I think the flu too

Taking baths to chase the chills away

Finally being able to eat food!

I am grateful for

Arizona sunset while walking in the morning

The best low fat ice cream out there. And if you are on Weight Watchers, 2 points!!!
Bath and Body Works Sandalwood Rose aromatherapy pillow mist. It is so relaxing! Sadly, they do not make this scent anymore
Taking a shower for longer than 10 minutes
My car that gets me where I need to go

My Chocoholic

So my mom went and bought Ethen his own box of chocolates to see how he would react and to see if he would eat the whole thing. So here are the pictures of what happened.


What's this? Chocolate?

It's mine? Really? Are you sure?

Mmm...How does yours taste Ian? Mine's good!

Hey! Why did you take my chocolate away from me? Give it back!

I said give it back! Give it back!

Thank you! Now... where was I?

Oh, that's right. stuffing my face with chocolate.

And did he finish the whole box? Well, no. He shared with Ian and Breyonna, and left a couple of pieces in the end of it all. But he sure enjoyed himself for the brief moment of bliss!

Lucie gets a haircut

Today I took Lucie in to get a haircut, and boy, did she need it! Here is a before picture of her from awhile back. She actually had a little bit longer hair, she was filthy dirty and crusty from all of the Hannah spit on her, poor thing. So Justin told me to get her in to "get all that nasty hair off of her. She's disgusting." So I did.And here she is after. Naked, happier and lot more slim! She was good while she got her hair cut, and she came out so happy! When she went back outside, I don't think Hannah recognized her for a few moments. But now they are back there playing and fighting as usual.

Grateful

I forgot to do my last week's gratefuls! So now that I am back on track, here are this week's gratefuls:

My husband for being such a good sport early on Easter morning, even after he stayed up playing the wii with the boys

Ethen getting up on the top bunk, getting stuck, and with no other options fell asleep
Justin vacuuming and Ethen showing him just what he thought of all his constant cleaning
I found this picture of Breyonna from a couple of years ago. And yes, there is water in the bath
Baking cookies for a good cause
