Crazy kids!

Wow, I don't know how people with more than 2 kids do it LOL! I watched my neice, Kendall (2 weeks shy of 1 year younger than Lily), and nephew, Ethan (1 year and 3 months older than Riley), tonight and my house was just crazy and loud and I could not get them all to listen for anything! I was trying to do our normal bedtime routine while they were here (because it's 10:40 pm and they are still here, so I needed to get my kids in bed) and part of that is the kids and I reading a book before bed. Holy cow! It was nearly impossible to get all 4 to sit still and be quiet at the same time so anyone could hear the book!

So anyway, needless to say, I didn't get a chance to breath, must less plan a blog post LOL! And this is later than I like to be writing anyway, so this one is short and sweet! One cool thing is that Kendall and Ethan wanted to get in on the thankfuls when we were doing them, so I've got thankfuls from them too!

Ethan is thankful for:
1. Hockey practice tonight.
2. Getting to come to Riley's house tonight.
3. Skylanders video game.
4. Getting a chocolate bar that said "I love hockey" tonight LOL!
5. Getting a popsicle at Aunt Traci's house.

Kendall is thankful for:
1. Getting to come to Lily's house.
2. Coloring at school today.
3. My mom, because I  love her.
4. Ethan
5. Brownies with m&m's on them for Jack's birthday at school today.

Riley is thankful for:
1. Ethan coming over and bringing skylanders.
2. Aunt Beth for bringing Ethan and Kendall over.
3. Daddy for taking him to the old house today to get some more of our things. [Yes there is still a ton there, ugh!]
4. Getting a chocolate chip cookie bar after dinner. [Ran out of popscicles LOL!]
5. Getting "smilies" at school today. [They are starburst gummy things that look like smilies.]

Lily is thankful for:
1. Kendall and Ethan coming over.
2. You, mommy, because I love you.
3. Disney Princess book.
4. Watching TV LOL!
5. Playing at school today.

I am thankful for:
1. My neice and nephew and how close they are to my kids. Emotionally, age, and now that we've moved in down the street, geography.
2. We got a free Redbox rental today LOL!
3. My nephew, at 9, still believes in Santa [I'll tell this story another day, maybe tomorrow]. I hear so many kids are getting younger and younger when they stop believing. I love it.
4. All of my laundry is done and put away except one small load in the wash now!
5. My husband.

Jeremiah is thankful for:
Well, waiting on that. He was supposed to tell me 2 hours ago and I'm still waiting (he's at work).

And now I finally get to post this at 12:30 am, so it shows as Friday, but I really wrote it Thursday!
