Today I am thankful for...
... Asher going to preschool so I could have a nap with Levi this morning after his 5:30 AM wake up.
... lunch with a friend.
... boiled eggs on toast (I had a craving).
... some quiet time during the boys afternoon naps.
... sunshine-y afternoons when I can work in the house with the windows open.
... my mom getting off early to come spend some of the afternoon outdoors with us.
... finally getting my garden plot dug up.
... Asher's delight in the simple things. His joy and laughter when playing with the hose today was priceless.
... lazy summer afternoon walks.
... that Asher ate sweet potatoes at supper time.
... that Levi eats basically whatever weird combination of food I puree together for him (tonight it was whole wheat pasta, black beans, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes).
... my mom putting the boys to bed tonight - she rocks.
... strawberries being $2.99 for a 2lb box at Costco.
... sleeping with the windows open.
... connecting with a friend.
... end of day showers when I can clean all the sunscreen off and go to bed feeling fresh.
... and I can't forget this one, my husband bringing me home ice cream earlier this week because he knew I had a rough day (it involved a suppository for Asher).

Girls weekend getaway!
This is my friend Mary Beth.
Awww, isn't she sweet?? I went away with her this weekend on a girls weekend getaway to a big city in a neighboring province. I could tell you lots of embarrassing things about her now, but I'll save face, and just tell you that she broke the drain in our hotel room within the first 2 minutes of us being there. As a result, we got a sweet room upgrade because there were no more basic rooms available. We had 2 queen beds, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and 2 flat screen TVs in our room.
We went away to get a break from the everyday (we're both busy moms), and to relax and have fun. And that we did. We also did lots of eating...
... saw a lovely play...
... and went into MEC way too many times to admit - mostly for Greg's benefit.
We also did lots of other fun shopping, and walking around the city. We did some hot-tubing...
... hung out in our awesome room and watched TV (for some reason mostly the real estate and TV guide channels).
... read (some of us more exciting things than others)...
... visited the market...
... drank coffee, talked, laughed, pumped (OK that was me), packed the trunk full and came home...
My husband did a fantastic job while I was away, taking care of both boys, and even bringing them to several outings by himself. He managed to throw a surprise in there for me, and moved some furniture in our house that I've been wanting him to move for weeks now.
It was so awesome to get away, not have to change someones diaper for a whole day, and wake up whenever I wanted to. Can't wait to do it all over again - hey Greg? :)

Thankful Thursday
Today I am thankful for...
... some quiet time to myself as I put groceries away this morning and caught up on American Idol at the same time.
... Asher going to preschool - they went to the park today and the teacher's said Asher was so happy to be there! (I still find it hard to get to the park with both kiddos some days).
... a friend over for lunch.
... a new recipe for supper - Vegan Chili Burgers - yum!
... Asher's eyes being healthy. He had his first visit at the optometrist today and everything looks good!
... going out to a lovely cafe for a church meeting tonight, and enjoying the company of my fellow team members.
... seeing a SUPER DUPER AWESOME FUNNY AMAZING movie last night - Bridesmaids - a serious must see!
... my "boss" taking my "coworker" and I out to said movie, and getting us popcorn to boot!
... my dear husband who puts our children to bed so I can go out with no questions.
... also my dear husband who will be putting our children to bed, and taking care of them all weekend, BY HIMSELF! I am going away for a much needed girls weekend away and I cannot wait.
... the sun. It's been shining a bit more this week and it's LOVELY! Having the windows open, hearing the birds sing, feeling the warm breeze... this all makes the days so much more enjoyable.
