Tuesday Gratitude Attitude...

Today is one of those days when the overfilled schedule has me taking deep breaths and telling myself "you can do it, hang on there is only 4 more days until the weekend"
So today, just for a moment, I thought I would take a few minutes to look around me and notice the small things that make life so grand!

Like my tomato plants. 
I live for tomatoes and this year we have gotten a bunch of them!
I love this picture because it captures the tomatoes in all of the ripening stages...
And my little girls who love to help me clean!

I love the roses in our backyard that are in full bloom right now.
the smell-
the look-
=
pure beauty!
I love that no matter how hard I try and keep my little girls room cleaned, 
it always ends up looking like this-
And I am grateful because today Savannah said, "Mom, you are not going to keep this clean cuz me and Hailey are just kids and we play, play, play!"
And I am so grateful that my kids play, play, play.
Because it won't be long until my kids will be grown up 
and our house will be quiet 
and I am 
so not 
ready for that!
So bring on the loudness, bring on the messy rooms and bring on the insanely crazy schedules!

I love your posts! It is so good to hear you are doing so well. You seem like such a fun mom. It has been fun keeping up to date on your family. And your little girls' room looks oddly familiar. Kinda like my boys' room except yours has more pink. Love the pictures of the roses, you're amazing!
