Thankful Thursday

Fun trips out of town
Spending all day in my sweats
Season 4 of Private Practice
Talking to my bestie about Private Practice
Spend an hour getting ready for a date night with my husband...I missed little man pulling on my jeans...and at the same time...the peace was so nice!
Putting a curling iron to my hair...and renewing my "grow it out" motivation!
This new hair/shine spray...it's the bomb!

Dinner someplace new

A perfectly cooked, most fabulously delicious steak...we're talking PERfect!

Sleeping in past 6:30am. Blissful!

Seeing Jer almost physically appear as though a weight had lifted off his shoulders.

Seeing my kiddos after a long absence...I don't think my heart can grow any fonder of those two little ankle biters, but it sure felt whole again having them back!

Holding my hubbies hand

Actually pulling recipes out of the pile of magazines sitting on my buffet and USING them in my meal plan this week!

Starbucks coffee run...just because!
Shopping for and creatively collaborating invites with April
Talking about and helping plan my furture nephews baby shower!

That even though Coop has had some restless nights, his little giggle and sweet smile reminds me how fleeting this time is with him...even if it is 2am!

Watching Cooper get really brave. He's going to be walking in no time!

Enjoying my lilac...which has just bursted with blooms...you can smell it as soon as you walk out our back door. Amazing! 

**And as a disclaimer...this picture doesn't do it a bit of justice.  My goal this weekend is to get out and get some real camera pictures of it!**

A yummy veggie basket this week from the co-op...complete with these baby cucumbers I've never bought before.  I  went home and promptly made a cucumber and tomato salad with a balsamic vinegrette. Delish!

7 chapters into Catching Fire...another awesome book is unfolding!

A fun weekend ahead with some Linoski time on the books!  Woohoo!
