I Love...

We had a very busy, very fun day yesterday and throughout the day random thoughts of things were flowing through my mind. Last night when I was reflecting I realized that most of the random thoughts were regarding things I love about my day to day life. I think that sometimes we get so caught up in things we hate and things that annoy us to no end...and believe me I have plenty of those things and will probably post those later but for now I am in a happy place so I thought I would post the good things. (I wish I could have posted last night but Jamey was trying to clean our computer up a little...our 7 year old Dell is getting kind of slow now days.)

I love:

-my family...with my whole heart, soul and spirit

-looking at my house from the street at night...it looks so cozy at night from the street...we are so blessed to have such a great house

-listening to Riley interact with her friends...she is so growny and girlie...I can't believe she is a big girl now!!!

-watching Grey's Anatomy...I have been addicted from day one...it is one of my guilty pleasures

-to hear Samuel say "wub ou too Mommy", to hear Riley say "I love you Mommy, your the best Mommy"

-to ask my kids a question like "who wants ice cream" and to see them bounce up and down chanting "me, me me me" with their little eyes all aglow

-text messaging my husband

-getting magazines in the mail

-taking pictures of my kids

-blogging/reading blogs of friends

-the way the air feels before a storm and the high winds blowing the trees before the rain starts

-the smell of scotch tape...it has to be scotch brand...don't ask...it must be linked to a Christmas memory or something but I could sniff it for hours...very weird I know

-eating other people's cooking

-peeking in on the kids when they are both fast asleep...little angel faces!!!

-stepping back after I have just cleaned my entire house and just looking and smelling for a minute....it only looks and smells that great for a minute and it is heaven for that minute!

-listening to Samuel tell his little jokes...like when we are singing "Five Little Monkey's Jumping on the Bed" he will say "Jumping on the Poo Poo" instead and crack himself up

-having Samuel ask me to rock him...I want him to stay a baby as long as possible...it thrills me that he still likes to be rocked....my little man

-having Riley ask me to hold her....when she was tiny she would hold her arms up and say "hold you" when she wanted me to hold her...I guess because I would ask her "Do you want me to hold you?" I can't believe she will be 4 soon!!! Where does the time go????

I could go on and on for days and I have probably already bored most of the people who read...all 4 of you...but I am in that kind of mushy, lovey mood lately and I wanted to share it. I will probably be back to my stressed out self my the end of the day today and I will post all of that then. ;-)

Have a great day everyone and take some time to notice the good, sweet things all around.
