Halloween!

I'm grateful that we are all finally healthy and we have cute costumes provided by a wonderful neighbor and my mom and brother in law.
Jerome is going to be a magician and I am a bunny (see how cute that is- He pulled me out of his hat)
Lyndsi will end up being two things. She was Cinderella on Wednesday and tomorrow she will be a pig (such a cute pig costume too)
Hailey is a princess frog. She wears a tootoo over a frog costume she is so cute
Chad is a lizard/crocodile/dinosaur. I think it is a dinosaur!
He was going to be a bat but the costume didn't fit and that one was really cute too.
Well I am just grateful that we can dress up in crazy costumes and no one cares because it's Halloween. Just think if we dressed up on some random day and went to the store. People would think we were crazy.
I like that crazy is unanimously accepted on Halloween!

Crawling

Chad officially crawled for the first time today on his hands and knees. He has been army crawling for about 1 week now. I can't believe how fast babies grow. Just 8 months ago he was newborn and tiny and not moving around at all and now he is getting into all sorts of things and crawling.
What fun!

Help me fall asleep

 Every night our bedtime routine is the same. We always sing "I Am a Child of God" and the girls love it. I asked Hailey during the day if she wanted me to sing her a song and she said, "Lead me, Guide me, Walk beside me, help me fall asleep."
How cute is that!

Birthday Fun!

It was my birthday and my daughter Hailey's birthday yesterday. We had so much fun playing and making cupcakes and Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Daryl came down to enjoy dinner at IHOP with my Dad and my family and Mr.Clyn L Young. It was so fun. Hailey got Rapunzel for her birthday and she has been playing with it since she woke up this morning. She also got play doh and she loves loves loves it. She is so happy. She also got a tinkerbell music box that is so super cute thanks the the mother of a little girl I watch for child care now.
I also got many wonderful presents that I absolutely love. It is wonderful that we celebrate the day we came into this world.
I'm so lucky to be born into the family I have and to have the beautiful children in my life. Wow!

Time really Flies

I really need to feel grateful today. So here it goes
I'm Grateful:
That Chad goes to sleep so easily for naps. What a sweet boy!
Hailey and I had a wonderful birthday out to eat at IHOP with Grandpapa and Grandpa Daryl and Grandma Sharon, and Clyn L Young and he paid for dinner, unexpectedly, what a great guy!
Jerome has earned $100 almost everyday window washing.
Lyndsi and Hailey are playing like best friends right now. I love them both so much!
Our renter, Paul, is moving in tomorrow and I can already tell we are going to be great friends.
Jerome is an excellent DIY kind of guy. He is always willing to learn something new and figure out new projects.
I have so much love and support from everyone I know.
I got a cd from Cherie Burton yesterday just in time to be a birthday present and it is called "Permission to Shine" I'm so excited to listen to it. Maybe I'll pop it in right now.

I feel much more balanced now that I have remembered a few of my many blessings
