Today I'm thankful for:
- Pumpkin Spice Creamer. I enjoyed a steaming hot cup (or two) of delicious coffee splashed (or drenched) with my favorite cozy fall flavor for the first time last weekend.
- Peace. Today is the first day in almost 2 months that I feel at peace. As many of you know our family has had a lot of ups in downs these past few weeks and today I woke up without that tight feeling of stress in my chest. Good things are happening and I'm here to embrace them with open arms.
- Some new and inexpensive toys to entertain my little dude. Our old swimming pool is now a ball pit(Thanks Blair for the idea). I found the perfect basketball hoop that is just like new for $8.00 at a consignment shop.Oh and the fake food, how can I forget the piles of wooden food all over our house. Sidenote:Skinner hates the fake food and found out the hard way that fake hotdogs look just like real hotdogs.
- The rare freedom of a weekend with nothing planned and endless opportunities.
- Warm fall mornings spent at the zoo with a little guy running around looking just like a little man and yelling "good dog" to every.single.animal
- Photoshop. For making my picture taking and editing that much more fun.
- A husband who loves being a Daddy
- Knowing that homemade chili is on the menu for the first time this fall.
- The anticipation of a warm pumpkin bar straight from the oven.
- Jury duty. I'm on it next week and I've always been interested to see what it is all about.
- Honeycrisp apples. AMAZING!!
I love that he told every animal, "Good dog!"
