I'm loving it...

like...
*the chocolate icing all over my girl's face after a cupcake
*re-reading the same 3 books all day long
*time with friends and crossing off projects on our to-do list
*the sound of packing tape closing boxes shut
*a running partner pushing me when I'm ready to stop
*taking down our youngest's crib
*finishing a great read and learning so much from it
*a sweet hubby who adores me and is so gracious, loving and has so much energy for his family
*the snow all melted on my yard
*picking paint colours...(okay, a tad stressful but uber exciting too!)
*flip-flops
*grass stains and muddy rubber boots...(depending on my energy level at the moment)
*the sound of my kids playing
*my babysitter calling to inform me that it's time for us to go on a date night...LOVE THAT!!!

How was your weekend?

I love this post. It's so awesome that you list many things that you love but could be listed as frustrations. Packing, grass stains, messy faces and you are looking at them as things to love!! I appreciate that a lot! Thanks for putting a smile on my face and giving me a gentle reminder of all I have to be thankful for.

What a great list, many things to be thankful for.

Though we had colds around our house, we had lots to be thankful for.

-Supper guests with great conversation
-An offer to babysit our kids
-Date Night!
-An afternoon to sleep with the kids after church
-Worship Team practice and learning a new song
-Talking with the kids about God and their relationship with Jesus
-Flip, flops, definitely!
-Fresh fruit
Oh, I could go on.....

Awesome list! I love that fact that I can wear flip flops again, I too love grass stains and rubber boots! Reading the same books all day is a good one too. I love the fact that we could have a "picnic" at the park and go for nice long walks!
