Repressing the Grouch

I'm a bit grouchy today. I don't really know what the deal is. I can see myself from a distance being moody, but I can't do much about it. On a good note, thinking about the things that I'm grateful helps. I know that sounds so corny, but it's true. I admit it, when I first sat down to think about five things I am grateful for today, it wasn't coming easy. I was definitely looking at everything from an extremely negative angle. However, after dwelling on it for a bit, I came up with my five AND I'm in a much better mood as a result.
  • Education - I am so grateful for all of the different schools (16 total) that I went to by the time I graduated. It is one of the reasons I can talk to a wall right now... if only a wall could talk back. LOL! And seeing how others percieved their educations was really interesting to me. I loved school!
  • The Dallas Zoo - what's better than spending the day at the zoo with my babies??
  • DVD's - OK, movie night with my boys is way fun too! We are movie freaks for sure!
  • Blankets & Pillows - plus movie night?? HELLO! Snuggling while watching a good movie rocks!
  • Captain Crunch - totally craved this while pregnant. I don't care that it cuts the roof of your mouth, it's still yummy!!

So, if you're in a funk, think about all the blessings in your life and you're sure to improve your mood.

OK, so I thought the number of schools I went to was mad!! I went to 6 junior schools, 3 high schools and 2 universities. So 11... which is waaaay more than enough, but 16?? Eeek! And yes, I can talk to the wall and make it be my friend too... it must be all the moving and having to fit in (sometimes at short notice!) But I don't think I would change my education at all... and it amuses me terribly when I talk to people who went to one junior school and one high school. I don't think I could live like that!

PS. Thanks for your comment on my blog! Much appreciated!

Snow Flakes in TX

Image
We woke up this morning to fluffy, white snow everywhere. The biggest snowflakes I've ever seen were falling from the heavens. It is just beautiful out there. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my house?? This shot totally cracks me up - Joshua on the receiving end of a massive snow ball from his big brother!! Joshua stuffing what's left of our broken flag pole... Just playing it cool until he could sneak up behind Bryan with that snowball. Not entirely sure, but I think he was taste testing that snow... Such a great smile - love it! Pretty sure he is up to no good. LOL ! Ahhh - the grassy snow man that just wouldn't stop falling apart. He was focused though... DEFINITELY up to no good! Check out all of that snow falling! Snow angel made by my #1 angel. Another gorgeous smile! I just like this photo because of all the snow falling around them. I think they both ended up with snow down their front collars on this one. It was a lot of fun watching them play in th...

Back to the farm

We go to Owens Farm every year to take part in their pseudo pumpkin patch. No, we don’t pick pumpkins, yes they are pretty much just scattered around an empty field… But the kids love it and because they love it, I love it. I get to take some really fun shots and it’s kinda cool to go back and see photos of the boys over the years and how much they’re growing. This was the first time Grammy and Papi were here in town and able to go with us. The boys really enjoyed sharing our yearly tradition with them. I also had the chance to get some great pics of them with the boys. Can you tell which boy is attached to which grandparent? LOL ! I love the bond they have with Grammy and Papi and can’t express how grateful I am that they have them in their lives!
