Things I am Thankful for Day 1

Since it is November I decided I would post some things I am thankful for! (Thanks Jamie for the reminder...)
Day 1: I am thankful for my family!
I have the greatest hubby, he helps me with the kids and the occasional dish and he loves me even when I am crazy!
My boys teach me everyday, they love me, give me hugs and kisses, make me laugh and teach me to be humble and patient!
I have the greatest Mom in the whole world. She listens and helps me out and is there for me whenever I need anything.
I have the greatest cousins in the whole world, they actually like spending time with me :), they are generous, kind, fun, beautiful and I wish we lived closer!!
I am also thankful for my friends!! They are kind of like family to me because we don't live that close to our families so I have to depend on them like you might your family! I have the greatest friends in the whole world, they cheer me up on gloomy days, help me with my kids, and teach me by their examples. They have been there for me through high school, bad haircuts, my divorce, 2 crappy pregnancies, 1 normal pregnancy, moving, every day motherhood, church callings, home remodels, yard work, grumpy days, sick days, the list goes on and on....

Bright sunshiney day!

There was sun today! Yipee!
I went to the park yesterday with Jenny and it was all overcast and yucky. Today I woke up to sunshine (not really, I don't sleep in that late...) I took the boys to the park again to play and get some Vitamin D! My days are so much better when there is sunshine! I get to go to an Elders Quorum party tonight...I know...I know... you are all jealous.....

Slow week...

So this week is early out for the the girl I pick up from school. Something about the 1:25 time that just throws me off for the day. Then she likes to hang out for a couple of hours before going home. I am used to boys, so I think girls require a bit more work. :) I don't know how to entertain her, dishes and laundry are not all that exciting....I will be glad when Friday has come and gone!
So, because of my super exciting week, I have nothing to update, no exciting news, no pictures......I did however get my laundry folded this week....pretty proud of myself.....oh yeah, I am pretty sure I have gained about 5 lbs too.....Andes Mint cookies and no exercise.....

I love pomegranates! I am going to a lunch this week where I am supposed to bring some kind of food with pomegranates in it. I peeled a couple of them today with my friend Anna. I was supposed to use them in my recipe for Thursday. Sadly, I only have like a 1/4 a cup left and I am pretty sure they won't last past tomorrow. I am going to have to go buy a few more for my recipe. I actually found a recipe for pomegranate cupcakes....not sure if I should attempt anything with cake in it's name.....

This is what it looks like out my front door. Can you believe it is snowing?? I am not ready for winter....

Good thing I voted early, now I can stay inside where it is warm ALL day long!

The blob in the picture is SUPPOSED to be a cake.

This is what the blob above us SHOULD look like.

I don't know how I do it but it is obvious that I have terrible cake baking skills. I cannot make a nice looking cake to save my life. Thankfully the blob in the first picture does actually taste pretty good so I shouldn't have any trouble getting my boys to eat it! :)

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Noah was at his dad's house this weekend so it was just us and the two boys! We went down to the trunk or treat and then visited a couple other houses and called it good.

Luke and Isaac all dressed up!

Me and the boys!
