We finally had our first reasonably normal week of the year, and can I say how excited I am?! It really is the little things in life, and after a few weeks of the sickies, even just a nice, relaxing, healthy (some might even say boring!) life is just what I wanted.
One more week of work for me and then I get to look forward to two weeks off! I'm so excited, and working on a list of things to do with Sweetpea and around the house during that time. It takes a little extra thought to plan activities for a not quite two year old in the middle of winter, but we have a few things on our list so far - swimming at the YMCA, visiting our local mall's free play zone, getting 2 year old pictures taken, and lunch at the great specialty market we have in town. (where half of your lunch comes from the free samples - yeah!) I'm still on the fence about which house projects to tackle. I'm thinking it will be mostly painting and cleaning.
Here are a few of the items from my gratitude journal this week:
*visiting with GG and Papaw*
*a pair of 40 degree days amidst the freezing weather, a glimpse of spring weather that is just a few months off*
*an end to the waiting and worrying we'd been doing, good news*
*many chances to play tea..."is it good?" "would you like more?" so sweet!*
*a return to some of the projects I enjoy at work, after many months of a project I loathed*
*bright beautiful cardinals coloring the white and gray landscape of winter*
*EmDee bringing me one of my favorite pizzas home with him one night, unexpected deliciousness*
What are you thankful for this week?

Sounds like you had a lot of fun tea parties- too cute. I have all boys so tea parties is something I missed :-)
no tea parties for me either. it's smash brother with the hulk hands, crash the hotwheels into the tower of legos, and iron man vs spiderman in the X games stair-diving competition.
and he's not even close to being 3 years old yet.

This is really great, and I'm so happy to hear that you've had good news. We, haven't. I've got to start a gratitude journal because I'm getting a little down. :-( Angel loves her tea parties too. They're my favorite.
