September Give Thanks, Week 3

September 15:
      Thankful that my husband was willing to spend a little extra money out of our budget for a night out for dinner. It was so nice to have a REAL meal, made for us and I didn't have to clean up or do the dishes.

September 16:
     The greatest moment today was when my boys tried hopscotch for the first time. I am so thankful they are willing to try new things, laugh and enjoy it too. Its a ton of fun to watch them experience new things.

September 17:
     Its nice to get out of the house and go do something new and different. Today, I am thankful that our housing company put together a slip and slide event and the boys enjoyed running around and playing.

     I am so thankful that I am finally (after a year of being at Beale AFB), I am meeting a few more moms, and hanging out with new people!! So thankful for new friends and new mom friends at that!!

September 20:
     Thankful today that as a family, we were all able to get up and have a random dance party in our livingroom. Our oldest son kept saying, "Come on mom/dad, dance, dance mom/dad dance, come on..." It was a ton of fun! Tomorrow, we dance again!

September 21:
     Thankful that I can keep in touch with family, even when its negative or positive information. I am so happy that we can have this technology and have the ability to be so connected to everyone's lives.

April Give Thanks, Week 5

April 29:
     Thankful for the 90 degree weather today, our walk around the block, and being able to enjoy the kiddy pool in the back yard! It was a great day.

April 30:
     The best, random, last minute BBQ; thrown together by our housing company here on base, and the kids loved it too! Thankful to my neighbor for letting me know, and giving us the info and invite. Its exactly how the end to a long day should be; free cupcake decorating, free flowers, free bounce house, free bubbles, free hot dogs, and free painting station. We even won some tickets to a family fun center! It was great.

Decorating and snacking on his cupcake.
