{Thankful....}

Thanks House of Fleming!!
------------------------------------------------------
I am so thankful there are still beautiful things out there like this view this morning as I sent my children out the door to the bus.... 
{who thought I was sending them out way to early cause it was still so dark it was kind of funny...}
Its a beautiful reminder of who is in charge and that's God's gift to us everyday when we look around at what He's given us......

Attitude of Gratitude 

hum some days consist of this a lot of the day...""up""

i am more than happy to snuggle and hold this little man because before long he'll be onto bigger and more exciting things than me, but sometimes when your making dinner or something its remembering to stop and be thankful I have a little one tugging on my pants saying.... up....
How I love him!!!

....and this..... his constant favorite drawer......thats why its not organized because he loves to play in it everyday!! But he is my cleanest kid 

HE CLEANS UP AFTER HIMSELF!!! 

AND for that I am really grateful. 

{He is also super tired in these pictures!}

An attitude of gratitude is looking at this boy and just being...

Thankful that he is still with us from the beginning from being sued multiple times after placement for him, to the many times he has defied being run over from semi's on the highway to big Dodge's...... Thankful for a friend who listened to that small voice that said 

"back up" 

instead of going straight down the alley way like she usually did every morning but for some random reason backed up and then saw why

when a less than 2 year old blond headed boy was smiling up at her!!

The boy who pops all door handle safety devices in  less than 2 seconds since he was a year and half

the boy who would be playing outside before he was 2 at 5:30 in the morning..... WHAT!  

{don't worry it only lasted one time then the locks everywhere possible came...than.}

The boy who used pool noodles and yard sticks to move chain  locks

The boy who gets in random construction workers trucks and drives off with them ....

The boy who has been missing for longer than 2 hours sometimes while the whole neighborhood and I frantically search for him.....

The boy who has super strength and pops out more screens then you want to know just to get "out"....... 

{our basement has no door out of it so he made his own way out.....}

so if you see him sometimes I probably don't know he has escaped because "mommy I'm going to go play with my trains"

only I didn't know he meant on the ACTUAL railroad tracks and his "train"!!!

Oh and the things he has ingested....

the tantrums he has throw I'm sure I've thrown a few of my own in response......

The boy who keeps us running, keeps us up at all hours of the night

The boy who goes to the 16 year olds house down the street to ask if he can play and then to the other end of the street to ask if the 1 year old can play.....

The boy who roams the neighborhood and helps some bring in groceries and others walk their dogs.....

The boy who we love more than words, but can get madder at him than anybody

The boy who doesn't sleep and wakes the whole house.

But I'm thankful his guardian angels have shifts and keep him watched over every minute of every day and night!! Heaven knows he needs them. So I'm thankful for them too whoever has that lucky job!!!

BUT actually I wasn't going to write any of that I was going to say
that this is his sick eyes picture he hasn't been feeling well this week of and on
and yesterday he was playing with K2 running around and having lots of fun laughing and playing the both of them.....
then all of a sudden he throws up randomly all over himself, K2 and my bedroom  carpet...
He looks at me looks down and says
oops I "pooked"... I'm sorry 
{ha ha I laughed and got him cleaned up, it took him by such surprise it surprised us all we laughed again, he's always made it to the toilet before so it was really .....random}
What a kid! Life sure would be boring around here without him so we pray he makes it for the long haul till he's old and gray and I've already passed away!!
