Whoops--I missed the deadline for today but since I'm still up, I'm going to count it! Earlier today I read an article about how listening to complaining is bad for you. it "actually makes you dumber." Haha that explains a lot about a few customer service people I have talked to on the phone. So I guess that means by reading my gratitude blog you are actually getting smarter. right?
Today I'm grateful that I could just stay home and get some chores done. Wednesday is my laundry day. I usually try to get a head start on Tuesday evening but I was so worn out by all of our Tuesday activities that I decided to be lazy instead. Here are some pictures of our day yesterday:
 |
| Maren gets really excited about petting the animals until they turn around and look at her. By the way, isn't that rooster in the background just amazing? |
 |
| Noah loves to "comb" the animals |
 |
| A closer look at the rooster. |
 |
| Whitecaps baseball game. |
 |
| He was mostly excited about the treats I packed for him. |
 |
| Maren loved to get me in trouble with the ushers. |
 |
| Proof that I had all 3 kids with me at a game. We left promptly after the 6th inning. |
I often have to remind myself that I really am so grateful for my kids. Yesterday Noah said, "aw man, 3 kids is just too hard." I went and gave him a big kiss and told him it was hard but that I loved him and that it was so worth it. When I asked him what his favorite part of the baseball game was he said "The eyeball race, the gummy worms, and the cheerleaders." Go figure.

 |
| Maren will be ready for soccer practice when it is her turn. |
 |
| Elise doesn't care about soccer practice. She is just wondering why I keep putting her on the grass and yelling. |
I'm thankful for the ability to nurse Elise just about anywhere I darn well please--including at soccer practice. Can I just say that letdown is one of the most awkward sensations? And I'm not talking about disappointment!
 |
| Noah, shout-asking about where the old sandwich was that the other kids kept pointing out. He's really in to sports you can see. |
Well, now I'm thankful that the last load of laundry is in the dryer so I can go to bed now. and I'm thankful for my comfy bed. Good night.
