T.G.I.F.

1. The first thing I'm grateful for this week would be modern medicine. I'm so glad that we are fortunate to go to the Dr's office and get medicine that help us get better. I hate seeing my kids sick and hurting so it's nice when they can get prescriptions to help them feel better.
2. I am also thankful food on my table. I always have plenty of food to eat. It may not be crab legs that I so dearly love but I never go a night being hungry. Even when I think my cupboards are bare I can think of something to make with what I have. And I'm also fortunate to also be able to have things around that I can make treats and desserts. So, I'm so glad that I have enough food for me and my family.
3. I am grateful for computers. I love that we have Internet, email, blogs, web-cams. I am so grateful that these wonderful inventions are available to me so that I can keep in contact with my family and friends. It's been so nice keeping everyone updated with our lives through our blog and being up to date on everyone else's lives through blogs and email. Being so far from my family it's so great to be able to see and talk to them on a web-cam, it makes being away so much more bearable.

I had a harder time coming up with my 3 things this week, I don't know why. Hopefully that the more I do this the more I will be able to think of all the blessing I've been given and how much I have to be grateful for. But, I will definitely have more to be grateful for next week.

Do we Live in a Barn?

Brace yourself, this is kind of gross. I was sweeping and was just astounded so I had to take a picture and share it with everyone. Yes, it's a weird post but this is my life. This is the dirt that I swept up in just one day. Seriously, how do they do it? How can 3 boys create such a dirty mess in such a short period of time! It's insane how much dirt they produce. In their defense, they did play with playdoh and little pieces would fall to the ground and of course it's not worth picking up so it just dries up so there is a lot of that in the pile. But still, it's a lot. I think if I were to ask them "if we lived in a barn?" they may very well just respond, "yes, mommy, we do!"

3 Mohawks

So, I gave the boys all a mohawk and had to have a picture. I never thought I'd be giving my boys a mohawk and actually liking the look. I am not a photographer by any means but I try what I can. It is so hard to get all the boys to cooperate at the same time when you are doing it by yourself. I don't have any professional pictures of the boys all together so if you have any cute idea's of what to do with 3 boys let me know. I love the untraditional shots so if you have something like that send it my way. For now this is all I could get out of them.

New Do

OK, here's my new look! I really like being a brunette. Since I've been a blonde all my life I just wanted to go totally different. This is as dark as I've ever been in my life. And this means a whole lot less up keep because I don't have to worry about how much dark roots are showing before hi-lighting it again. Oh, by the way, my dear hubby thought it'd be funny to take a picture of me so close up so that's what I got.
