As I give thanks.....

On the eve of Thanksgiving, it is a day to think about all of the things I have to give thanks for. I am very blessed in my life.

I give thanks for my husband who is above all the best father and husband in the world.
I give thanks that I have 2 beautiful healthy daughters
I give thanks for the beautiful home that I am fortunate enough to live in
I give thanks for the food that we have to nourish us
I give thanks for my mother who is my best friend, confidant, and biggest fan
I give thank for dear friends
I give thanks that even during tough times, my business remains strong

Now the only thing is, how do you teach a 4 yr old....Julie said yesterday to me that she only gives thanks for one thing..."SANTA"

For the love of 4 yr olds.....

Okay well all I can say is that I am so tired of cleaning balls......

Okay get your mind out of the gutter. I mean little tiny bead balls that they stuff things with....Julie and her friend broke open this huge 4 ft dolphin and all the balls spilled out and then Julie thought it would be funny to make it look like it was snowing all over her room. Well about 2 hrs after I started to vacuum I think they were all gone. Then I get home last night and my husband tells me to come into Julie's room. While I was gone, the kids got a pair of scissors and Kaitlyn decided to cut up a neck pillow that had even littler balls in it, the went everywhere and stuck to everything....Julie was hiding under her covers and was quick to point out that Kaitlyn did it and when I asked Kaitlyn if she made the mess, she proudly said YES!!
So this morning I was at Gymnastics with Kaitlyn and I kept looking at her because her hair looked different. I couldn't quite place it, then it hit me...her bangs had been cut....it looked like she just had a horrible bang trim....and I asked her if she got her hair cut and she told me "Yes, Julie did it!"
