Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for the sweet kisses Ruby gives.  I love how she even makes the "ohh" sound when she gives them.  She is such a sweet little girl.  I am thankful for the delight she has whenever Dad comes home from work.  She laughs and squeals in impatient excitement for him to come in the door and pick her up.  As soon as he does she gets the biggest self satisfied smile on her face ever.  It is really sweet especially since I know how much Andy loves it too. 

I am thankful for my clean house.  I spent the entire day doing a deep clean on it.  It feels nice to see everything so sparkling.  I am less thankful for the kids who seem to think a clean house is an invitation to find creative ways to mess it up.  I banish them to the basement or outside as often as possible under these circumstances.  It is that or tie them to their beds which I am told is child abuse.

I am thankful for happy words from dear friends who encourage me in my goals.
