30 Days of Thankful - Day 2 & 3...

Me I never wanted to be a grand parent..

Kids aren't my cup of tea..

They are noisy, messy, screaming balls of energy.

I could do without..

Well that didn't turn out the way I thought at all.

I LOVE these two to pieces.

Who knew noisy, messy, screaming balls of energy could be so much fun.

Don't get me wrong they have days when none of that is my cup of tea.

But I'll take them anyways..

If you are working on a 30 Days of Thankful project I would love to see it.

30 Days of Thankful - Day 1...

Cathy Zielske is doing a 30 day's of Thankful album

and I thought I would join in.

Even though I'm starting a bit late.

I'll get caught up.

I love that I'll have a whole album when I'm finished.

Today I'm thankful for my husband Mike.

He rocks!
