{Thankful Thursday...}

SO  Thankful for my kids they are so full of life I love it! I am a lucky mama:) I found this mommy questionnaire from somewhere and today I talked to each one individually and wrote down their answers it was funny and informative. Don't you ever wonder what your kids are thinking or how they see things?? this is one way to find out...I quite enjoyed it cause its fun to see what they think of first..

Sometimes life feels like this picture

like I want to scream like things are out of control...like nothing is right...but then I look around at all these kids and think I get to be their mom!!  what a blessing in my life!
Around this time of year I reflect a lot on my kids and the most precious of all gifts I ever received and ever will are these four children... nothing will every come close because I can't even begin to comprehend the emotions I still feel some days for all involved.
It brings tears to my eyes because I can't even imagine what each of those young girls went through because they loved their sons and daughter so much they sacrificed for them and that reminds me of someone else...and thus each one is a Christmas miracle my first my have literally been, but each one can be held right up there.
AND that is something I will never take for granted..
