22 Days Worth of Thankful

I’m thankful for family tackles.

I’m thankful that Will didn’t fall off the kitchen table when he climbed up on it to play in maple syrup. (I was in the bathroom.)

I’m thankful that Graham argues with me about who loves each other more.  I love him to the moon and back infinity times.  He loves me to the moon and back forever.

I’m thankful for diapers.

I’m thankful that my husband comes home every night.  Whether he does it for me, the kids, or the food, the jury is still out. 🙂

I’m thankful for beverages.  Specifically water, milk, coffee, craft brews, wine and Campari.  In case you were wondering.

I’m thankful for Hulu+.

I’m thankful for my mom, dad and sister, all who live within a short drive.

I’m thankful for the roof over my head, the food on my table, and the jobs that pay for it all.

I’m thankful that I have successfully potty trained 66.7% of my dependents and have only one left. (I included the dog, in case you were wondering about my math.)

I’m thankful for dishwashers and laundry machines.

I’m thankful that my kids have an awesome nanny.

I’m thankful for the first bite of a warm chocolate chip cookie.

I’m thankful for Green Bear, Graham’s lovie, and Will’s crocheted blankets that he drags around the house Charlie Brown-style.

I’m thankful to live in Charlotte, the town I was raised in and the town I will always call home.

I’m thankful for my friends.  My fantastic friends.  I love you.

I’m thankful for my Nook.  Now, if only I could find more time to read it.

I’m thankful for naps.  When my kids take them or when I get one!

I’m thankful for my blog readers.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I’m thankful online shopping.

I’m thankful for my health.  Even when you have the sniffles, you realize how important your health is and how easily you take it for granted.

I’m thankful for this day to be with my friends and family and share all that we have to be thankful this year.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Katie
