Its thursday

oh boy. thursday again and no other blogging. well i guess if i remember this year it can at least be through my thankfuls. nothing at all wrong with that, uh?

um and yes there is officially my own gratitude notebook laying on my counter. now if only i can discipline myself to stop and write down the moments. time will tell.

so without further ado...this weeks...drum roll please. just kidding.

1. fall is coming - secretly love the season. always wanted a fall baby. maybe someday. maybe. (no babies on the way for this momma - although all my loving on my newest nephew and other little bugs doesn't help) but really who doesn't love rolled jeans, loafers, sweaters, no coats, football - i mean best season ever hands down
2. how my shaddy keeps begging for chili (its like already hot buddy)
3. how sage mimics his brother and sister - tonite he was reading in his crib alongside his brother - every so often checking over to make sure he was still on board.
4. how big sage is. i mean he is still teeny yet he acts like he is 5.
5. what a big protective brother shadd is. i'm one lucky momma. he will watch him carefully if i need to run into the house for something or take ellsyn to the potty. not many moms can leave there 5 year old in charge. but he is the greatest or at least i think so.
6. reading big books like heidi and polyanna with Ellsyn & Shadd.
7. quiet run in the country. yep we live close enough
8. crazy adventures hitting up the hwy 141 garage sales with my momma and the kids. lets just say we are lucky i only have three currently otherwise we are in need of a trailer or something.
9. new recipes - baked chicken fajitas. i got rated a 9 out of 10. too big chicken pieces was my fault
10.  my mother in law's cinnamon rolls - she did just win the state fair contest with her caramel rolls and got 3rd for frosted ones. they are the BEST!
11. apple support - finally after lots of searching figured out a problem in photo editing.
12. tuesday morning bible study
13. deep friendships
14. full summer nights - playing with neighbors, bike rides, ice cream, errands, playing at the park.
15. flexibility with d's job. love that he can come home early, go in late. be around. very very thankful!
16. 10 am pool available = life saver

Nothing too crazy for us this weekend yet I doubt much blogging will happen. D's running to work tomorrow. Funny. But a great way to squeeze in the 16 mile run he has to get in this week. Last weekend he ran to Panera Bread, his choice for me to grab some bagels. Always thinking that guy. In a few weeks he's got to get 20 miles in and might just run to Wtown as its about the perfect trip pre church don't you think. Why oh why did he sign up for that marathon. I guess we are only young once uh?

Oh yeah and hoping to catch the sweet corn festival parade, plus maybe snag a few ears of corn. Another one of Shaddy's favorites. He ate three ears yesterday for lunch. Not much else but how can you complain.
