Today I am thankful for...
1. The great time Ben and I had at our neighbors house on the fourth. We spent 2+ hours in the pool and had really good food. It was a very fun day.
2. Mark staying safe during his very long shift on the 4th.
3. the return of my cravings for salad.(Thank you Carrie.)
4. a long, sweet, funny email from Keri. Just love that girl.
5. the extremely fun time we had at the "lagoon" today with a bunch of my friends and our kids. Ben LOVES being in the water, a little scary for me at times because he truly has no fear, but boy its fun to watch him having such a great time.
6. the only sunburn received was on me and not Ben. (I may have been so concerned about his pale skin I forgot about mine. Ouch.)
7. feeling a little sense of accomplishment tonight because I cleaned. Some.
8. Sweet Ben's funny antics. They are abounding these days.
9. Ben, or any of the kids for that matter, not drowning today. I really am thankful for that.
10. the sale at Gap. (again, thank you Carrie.) I got a pair of jeans for $7 dollars. $7 dollars people. Is that even possible? Yes, yes it is.

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
