Could it get better?

Some days I ask myself 'how can it get any worse?'

But today I was asking myself 'how can it get any better?' I was sitting on a wall at the beach watching Gavin run around screaming at nothing in particular, with Ezekiel sleeping in the stroller, eating fresh strawberries, and chatting with one of my closest friends. The sun was warm but there was a gentle breeze, and everything felt very peaceful to me...a good snapshot for me to look back on when the chaos feels too much to bear.

Today I am thankful for:

1) Living in Huntington Beach - today it felt like paradise

2) Spending most of the day with Kristen

3) Having a peaceful evening even though Jason wasn't around

4) Figuring out that I can bathe the boys at the same time if I put Ezekiel's tub in the bath with Gavin. Its fun for Gavin and it helps me

5) The smile on Ezekiel's face when I get him in the morning when he wakes up. I stand over his bed and as soon as he figures out it's me, he breaks out in a huge grin. I love it.

6) Friday...meaning tomorrow we get to hang out as a family!

7) Strawberries coming back in season

8) Microwave popcorn

9) Being able to sprint up a hill by our house pushing the kids...such hard work, but so good for me.(and yeah, I was sprinting for a reason, but its a long story...)

10) Finding out we won't have to pay any taxes this year - and we even get a little back!
