Day 28: I’m thankful for the quiet moments. This on the couch moment actually happened. Blues Clues was on and Gus was interested enough that he sat down to watch it with them while I made dinner. Only for about 10 minutes, but that was 10 minutes I had to myself!

Our quiet time was also supported by a great package we got from my mom yesterday. It was filled with lots of great stuff, including a bunch of VHS tapes my mom picked up at a church bazaar. Yes, we still have a VCR and used VHS tapes are way cheaper than Blu Ray!

(I totally dug through it BEFORE I took this photo– my mom packs it way neater than that.)

Day 29: Today, I’m thankful for our big fenced in yard. The kids (and dogs) spend SO much time out there playing.
