So according to Adam, the past 2 weeks of Thankful Thursdays have made it seem as if he & Mason aren't thankful for anything. So I'll include them for the rest of our time...
Day 15
Me: A day without chores. A chance to catch up on blogging. A husband who has a magical touch when it comes to getting our children to take naps!!!!
Nolin: New movies! (Thank you Disney Channel for playing movies he's only seen once before at Granny's. Obviously we've been DVR'ing them all week!)
Adam: That Nolin knows his colors. And that Nolin likes pizza (this turned out to be a hint that he wasn't cooking lol)
Mason: Milk. Duh.
Day 16
Me: Adam's raise! Before he even went back to work they decided to hire him back but with a $2 raise!! Apparently they were really able to see evidence of his hard work once he was gone & it took multiple people to fill his shoes. I'm thankful for such a hardworking husband who takes such obvious pride in his job!
Nolin: One last day with Daddy :(
Adam: I'm thankful for the word of my dept manager along with the beautiful smiles of my boys and wife.
Mason: Milk. Duh.
Day 17
Me: A successful dinner outing with both boys. Despite a 10min major meltdown about leaving the toy section of Crackerbarrel, Nolin was relatively well behaved (despite what Adam may think lol)
Nolin: Girls!! (The neighbor behind us has 3 beautiful girls every few weekends & they love Nolin just as much as he loves them lol)
Adam: A nice day to enjoy outside with Nolin.
Mason: Milk. Duh!
Day 18:
Me: I'm incredibly thankful lately that I've been able to exclusively breastfeed Mason thus far. And have had enough to pump & store just in case. My inability to birth Nolin naturally or breastfeed was heartbreaking. I felt like a failure & I'm incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to prove otherwise to myself!
Nolin: French fries (Daddy makes some great ones!)
Adam: A successful back surgery & easy recovery so that I can return (begrudgingly) to work a new man!
Mason: Milk. And finally being able to clap after working so hard on it the past week!
Day 19
Me: A Monday off...It's been awhile! We have a fun day of cooking, baking & crafting in store :)
Nolin: Eggs (the kid sure does love his eggs lol)
Adam: My wife for cooking dinner so I didn't have to when I got home from my 1st day back at work (can you tell who actually wrote this one haha?!)
Mason: Milk. And pears, yummy!
Day 20
Me: I'm thankful that as of this week we are once again a 2 income family! It's the 1st time since March of this year lol...
Nolin: "I no wet bed Mommy!!" Yes, that's a direct quote lol!!
Adam: I'm thankful for the amazing job I have and for them being so good to me and our family.
Mason: Milk. And Daddy's ability to rock me to sleep while I wait for Mommy to come home!
Day 21
Me: The opportunities my job affords me to inform & educate the public on dementia. It is truly a passion!
Nolin: Spaghetti!! And a surprise afternoon with Daddy!
Adam: I'm thankful for God granting me the blessing of being a husband and father to you all.
Mason: Milk!! And fruit :)
Stay tuned for our family Thanksgiving post after this weekend. We are hosting both families this Saturday...
