30 Days {Day Twenty}

I am thankful that my kids are rockstar travelers.

Today we drove from Spanish Fork to Mesa.  It took us just over ten hours, and Harrison and Bridget did SO well.  They really were AWESOME.

I didn't take any pictures while we were driving, so I dug up some old cell phone pics for this post.



Here is Bridget from a road trip a few months ago.  Her first time being flipped forward facing:























Dang she's cute.

And here is Harrison from almost a year ago.  It got pretty quiet in the back seat and I turned around to find that he had taken off Bridget's binky and clipped it to his own shirt...

He always did love his binky...

30 Days {Day Nineteen}

Today I am thankful that this little girl is finally feeling better:

Poor girl has ear infections AND a sinus infection.  She has been a pretty sad case...  Snuggling her babies seems to help her feel better.  :)



Please refer to my earlier post about how grateful I am for modern medicine.  Turns out I should have given a shout out to Amoxicillin.  

Day 30 {Day Eighteen}

I'm thankful for grocery stores with awesome carts.

Shopping is so much easier when my kids get to "drive" around the store.

30 Days {Day Seventeen}

I am thankful for digital cameras.

I love that in order to get a cute picture like this:

I don't have to waste a whole roll of film on pictures like this:

You say you want a Bridget example as well?

Done.

Yep.  I am SO thankful for digital cameras.

30 Days {Day Sixteen}

I am thankful for modern medicine.

We've had several trips to the hospital in our married life, my babies come into this world via c-section, even something as simple as Tylenol... 

Right after I had Harrison one of the nurses said to Peter, "You know, 100 years ago your wife would have died trying to give birth.  You're lucky."  First of all, who says that??  What a terrible thing to say to someone who just watched his wife go through an unplanned surgery.  After we were all settled and the c-section wasn't so fresh on our minds, we decided she really was right.  Hooray for modern medicine!  I'll give three special shout-outs to Children's Tylenol, allergy medicine, and Excedrin.

30 Days {Day Fifteen}

I am thankful for the internet.

Really now...  how awesome is the internet and what did we do without it??


Especially Google. I Google everything, don't you?

Halloween!

Since the ever present theme of my blog seems to be "better late than never..." it would have been crazy to post Halloween pictures any sooner than half-way through November.

Without further adieu, I give you my Halloween cuties:

This year we had a dog:

 and a cat:

Cute, cute, cute. 

Don't worry, I'll post 20 more just so you can see how darling they were.  First, our puppy:

Harrison originally wanted a leash to go with his costume.  His plan was for me to hold the leash while he crawled like a dog from house to house.  Oh Harrison...  things are never boring with you around.

 

A cute puppy tail:

 And now more kitty:

SO cute.  I can hardly stand it!

And of course a cute kitty tail:

I wish these two pictures were videos instead of pictures.  Bridget thought Harrison was SO funny while they were running around and playing.  The poor girl was practically crying she was laughing so hard at him.  You'll just have to imagine...  She seriously thought he was hilarious.  It was awesome.

She was obviously not nearly as thrilled with me:

Bring on the candy!

We went trick-or-treating with our cutie cousin, Ladybug Sadiebug:

Harrison didn't need a reminder of how things worked.  He happily knocked on each door until someone answered and then very quietly said, "Trick or Treat!"  It didn't take Bridget too long to catch on:  Door opens, hold bag out, get candy.

She was so sweet.  As soon as someone would open the door, she would turn around and give a huge grin as if to say, "Do you see this?  I'm gonna get some candy!!"  She was SO excited.  It was too cute.

We hit lots of houses that just left candy out.  Harrison was pretty picky.

Bridget, not so much...

Our trick-or-treaters checking out their loot!

Hope your Halloween was as happy as ours!
