A date with our kids...

Tonight we had a date with the kiddos. It was snacks and a movie in bed. Not just any movie but Winnie the Pooh. Oh how I just love that bear dearly! They loved the movie! Ricky lined up their Boppy pillows and I handed out snacks. Cheetos may have been a little too messy but who cares, that is what washers are for! Gracie did the best and was even dancing during the movie! Tonight is one of my top ten moments with the kids yet. It was so awesome watching them really enjoy the moment. Towards the end Brody and Madi got a little fussy and restless but Gracie never did. And we are convinced our kids are the perfect characters... oh and Ricky's always been Pooh Bear from a long time ago.

Hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don't unravel.

24 days of things I'm thankful for! 

Day 13: I am thankful that my babies are growing. I stare at them at night while they sleep and am amazed out how much they've grown in 16 months. It is a true gift. 

Day 12: I am thankful for the little things like: Brody saying momma 100x throughout the day, Gracie's smile, Madi's laughing/ squealing, our puppy dog, and how Ricky and I annoy each other on purpose :) 

Day 11: I am thankful Ricky and I make up our own rules for what family is suppose to be and that it works for us and our babies. 

Day 10: I am so very thankful that I was forced to be a stay at home mom because the kids can't be in daycare. It is the hardest thing/ job I will ever do but oh my gosh at how rewarding too! 

Day 9: I am thankful that I am able to attend school. 

Day 8: I am so thankful I know God. 

Day 7: I'm thankful I live in America.

Day 6: I'm thankful that we have a house with water and electricity. I realize how lucky we are that we have food to eat everyday and also realize so many don't have basic necessities 

Day 5: I'm thankful for the family and friends that support us day in and day out without restrictions! 

Day 4: I am thankful for a man I met 8 years ago who became my husband 6 years ago this month! We've been through a lot in 8 years but I really believe through the good and bad we are meant to be. 
Day 3: I am thankful for a feisty little firecracker named Madilynn Faith Patton that entered my life on Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 9:11pm and acts the same way as she did in my tummy.... wild!

Day 2: I am thankful for a little miracle named Gracie Ann Patton that entered my life on Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 9:11pm and proved to everyone in her life including the doctors that God is real.
Day 1: I am thankful for a little boy named Brody Gerald Patton that entered my life on Thursday, July 1, 2010 at 9:11pm and gave me and his daddy a little cry at birth!

I have so much to be thankful for that I could list one new thing every day for the rest of my life.

What are you thankful for?

Here is something to think about..
What if you woke up tomorrow with only the things you thanked God for the day before???
