"Holiday Happenings"
It is the first day of Brenna's Christmas vacation! Yeah! I will be honest and tell you that I have been waiting for this day since the first day of school!
However...
My house is a disaster zone...
Cookies need baked...
Presents need wrapped...
PJ's need replaced with clothes...
Homemade presents need to be completed...
The FOURTH fight between the lonely brother and his happy to be home sister needs to be broken up...
And I would not change any of it!
Merry Christmas everyone!!
Enjoy EVERY SINGLE moment!!!

Random "happenings" at my home this morning...
I am looking out my window watching the beautiful snow fall! Wow! How peaceful and quiet it looks out there!
Still in my PJ's...(seeing as how it's just 9am on a Saturday, I have at least until 2pm before I have to think about getting dressed!)
Fire burning in the wood burner...
Ginger bread dough is awaiting to be rolled, cut, baked and iced!
Christmas lights twinkling all around...
Christmas music playing...
My kids playing nicely together for...20 minutes now!
"Can we go outside NOW mommy!" just broke the "silence!"

Today I am thankful for...
...hearing the rocking chair creak as Abigail rocked and read
...little boy arms reaching, wanting. . .me
...crinkly cornstalks and wind chimes reminding me that the clouds have been blown away
...husbands home for lunch
...nap time
...rearranging furniture
...sweeping under chairs, oh my, I needed to do that

" Today I am Thankful for..."
~#1 on my gratitude list today - I am thankful for the MOPS blog!
~ Also, today (Sunday) I was thankful for the wonderful individuals that take the time and effort to play and love our children in the nursery's at church so that moms, dads, and grandparents can really spend the time totally focused on worshipping the Lord. During which time I could really get in touch with the amazing gift of His grace on me once again. And how little I deserve, yet He just keeps giving and giving.

Thankful...
"Today I am thankful for..."
... my daughter's Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. B. It eased my mind greatly after meeting with her today. I feel calmer, I feel that my daugher is safer and cared for in her hands, when she is away from me.
...a new friendship that is becoming dear to me and I can see develop into a lasting one!
... Honey Roasted Peanuts from Girl Scouts (not really). I am thankful that someone made them SO delicious! I enjoyed (over the course of two days) practically an entire 8 oz can by myself! I am not thankful for where that enjoyment will show up on my body!
...a belly laugh I got from my son.
...a request to be my daughter's twin for Twin Day tomorrow at school! We have matching shirts and even though I won't be there at school with her, she still wants mommy to be her twin! Awwh...love those moments!
...my friend Jenn, who seems to always know when I need to vent!

Today I am Thankful For...
Thanksgiving is exactly 2 weeks away!!
I hope that you all enjoyed reading the "Mom Thanks" in the November newsletter. I would like to continue that up until Thanksgiving on our blog!
I truly believe it can be the little things that save our days and our sanity! Those things that may seem so simple that we easily overlook them, don't acknowledge them, may not even realize that the thought, the item, the prayer we shot up quickly, the smile we received, the giggle we heard, the chocolate we ate was our saving grace!
Perhaps if we shared those moments with each other, not only would we become more aware of our daily blessings but maybe we would remember to be more aware of them in our own lives and shoot up a prayer of thanks to the One who gave that moment to us!
If you have one thing that sticks out today that you are thankful for or you have 5, 10, or 15 share them with us! Email them to MOPSUtown@msn.com and they will be posted shortly!
Being moms, what we are thankful for can change on an hourly basis!
