Thankful Thursday!

Wow it is already this time again. It seems like I just did this post last week. Doesn't time fly? This week I have so much to be thankful for that I probably could write for hours. I will not bore you so I will list a few.
-First off I am very thankful for the abundance of family that my family and I are surrounded by. I love having family so close and having my boys growing up surrounded by all of them. They enjoy every moment that they have with their grandparents, aunties, uncles, and cousins. I love how excited the boys (cousins) get when they get together and play. Yes it is crazy for a little while but eventually it calms (or at least a little) down.
-Another thing I am thankful for is the warm weather. I love the fact that my kids are able to go play anytime that they wish or more like anytime that I want to kick them out there. I like spending time outside and the mild warm weather has allowed us to do this a lot this year. Also the pool has been a lifesaver this year. My boys are such water bugs and they enjoy it so much so that allows me a couple of hours of sanity pretty much anytime that suits.
-Next I am thankful for SLEEP!!! Wait let me rephrase that. I am thankful for when my kids sleep. This week Brian is on nights so therefore it makes for a quiet house once my kids go to sleep. And let me tell you how much I enjoy that. I am able to get so much done in the evenings when the kids are sleeping and it is kind of peaceful. Don't get me wrong I love my kids dearly but if you are a parent you now what I mean about peace and quiet.
-Last thing this week would have to be my husband. You all are going to get bored to death because he will most likely be one of my "thankfuls" every week. I don't know how I couldn't be thankful for him. He does so much for our family. I am so thankful for how laid back he is. It definitely balances our household out.
Well I hope this finds everyone having a good week and I hope you all stop and take a moment to remind yourself of the things that you are thankful for.
