Thankful

Posted on November 28, 2013November 26, 2013 by Andi

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I hope you are having a wonderful day eating lots of food and spending time with your families. I saw this recently and thought it was a nice thing to post today.

First, I am human. 99.9% of the time I love being home with my kids. But there are times when I just want to put on some music, tune them out and/or just hide under a blanket. There are times when I lose my temper, or yell, or get frustrated or just need to take a deep breath and remember how lucky I am to have these two beautiful little girls to call me mom. So for those days when you just donโ€™t think you can stand one more second, this is for you.

We had a wonderful Halloween and some friends join We had a wonderful Halloween and some friends joined us for trick or treating. 

Alex was a hotdog/skeleton, but took off his mask because he couldnโ€™t see, Dannie was a zombie unicorn and Maddie was a Care Bear. 

Maddie did Dannieโ€™s makeup and Chuck modified a lighted horn we had used in the past for her costume. 

Maddie did her makeup and all her friends were various Care Bears, too. 

The kids got a ton of candy, visited lots of houses, needed to perform a few tricks for their treats and traded candy. 

My kids generously gave me loads of butterfingers. They love me! 

I even found some selfies on my phone the next day. ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿงก
Chuck and I got to celebrate our 19th wedding anni Chuck and I got to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary a couple days early at the Wild game over the weekend. My work got a suite and we had a wonderful time! 

The game was quite exciting! We were down 0-3 in the first 9:00 of the game, then came back to win it in a shootout in overtime! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’š

Happy Anniversary, Chuck! Iโ€™d choose you again in a heartbeat. โค๏ธ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป
I turned 43 yesterday. ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰ Chuck always gets I turned 43 yesterday. ๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰ Chuck always gets the big bday numbers for us, but the โ€œ3โ€ didnโ€™t arrive on time. So Dannie made him a โ€œ3โ€ and he decorated after I went to bed. I even got door streamers like I give the kids. ๐Ÿฅฐ 

I was definitely spoiled and had a wonderful day! 43 is going to be a great year. 

And thank you to everyone who took a minute out of their day to wish me a happy bday. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

I canโ€™t remember where I came across this one, b I canโ€™t remember where I came across this one, but it was a delightful book about the dress code in middle school and how sometimes what you see happening is not the whole story. Students take action and utilize a podcast for getting their voices heard. Great for growing strong students who want to make a difference and stand up for what they believe in and learning how to create change when it doesnโ€™t seem possible.

Check this one out for strong characters who take matters into their own hands and make a diffference.

I squeezed myself into my wetsuit and helped chuck I squeezed myself into my wetsuit and helped chuck move our big lift out deeper. The water is so low and in the hopes of not getting the boat stuck on the lift and maybe getting a couple more rides, we managed to get it out a little farther. Thankfully we had a dock section we could move so we could make the lift deeper and still get into the boat.
