day 51

Today I am thankful for finding Darryn's shoe. It may be trivial, but I am so glad I didn't have to spend ages looking for it tomorrow. I would have never found it! The problem was that last thursday we had one of oscars friends coming over and I could not be bothered cleaning the house, so I got a washing basket (or 2) and put all our junk in it and tucked it safely out of view. Then I totally forgot what I had done and could not work out why so many items had gone missing. Time was slowly ticking by and we really needed to find his shoe (only 1 which made it even more frustrating) and tomorrow was the day I was going to have to turn the house upside down to go looking for it.


Ps..... Probably the thing I am most thankful for today is meeting my friends new little bub, so sweet an beautiful I had such a nice cuddle of her, I love newborn babies!!

day 50

Today I am thankful for flower buds. Outside our kitchen window we have a lovely tree, I think it's a camelia tree. At the moment it's got lots of buds all over it, so soon I guess it will be on full bloom. The buds are just the start of lovely things to come, they are the start of something to look forward to. They are small, but full of potential.

day 50

Today I am thankful for a snoring baby. I just carried Israel off to bed snoring. Not much in this world tops holding a sleeping baby.

day 49

Today I am thankful for jumpers. Today is the first chilly day of the year. The thing I like best about the first coolish day is that a whole new part of your wardrobe opens up and becomes possible to wear!! Usually just in time cause by the time the cool weather hits my summer wardrobe is looking a little bit worse for wear.

day 48

Today I am thankful for hens days!! We had a really nice day celebrating aimees upcoming nuptials. She has been a great friend for so many years and it will be sooooo amazing to see her get married next weekend. The best thing about the day was seeing her so happy!

day 48

Today I am thankful for family. We had a big family relo bash today and it was really nice to catch up with my cousins and second cousins. All the kids had grown up so much and the boys loved catching up with all the kids.

day 48

Today I am thankful for walking to school. I have no idea why walking to school is so much less tiring than driving. When I drive I am up to school and back in about 10 min. When we walk it takes about an hour. It's not very far away, but the kids like to muck around and there are always people to stop and talk to along the way, not to mention the shops we pass! I really look forward to the days that I don't have to be in a hurry so that we can walk and enjoy ourselves along the way.
