MM - Thankful Week 4

Are you in need of a mindless Monday Blog post? Are you struggling to deal with the weekend being over and can't muster the strength to type a single word? Well, Monday Mugs is for YOU! Because on Mondays, I need some motivation, I may or may not "borrow" ideas from IheartFaces and post my interpretation of their weekly theme.

Mondays are hard! Blogging on Mondays shouldn't be!

Today's theme for Monday Mugs is: Thankful: Week 4

Above everything else, I am the most thankful for this bunch:

And just so you know, this pic was taken during Christmas Card Photo Shoot I. Unfortunately, for my darling bunch, I did not think this was "wall material"! I had to drag everybody out for Christmas Card Photo Shoot II and one Cutie in particular was NOT happy. I will share the photo that made it on to the Christmas Cards in a few weeks. I still had to photoshop different photos together! *eye roll*

Last week, I was thankful that Lily and I were able to sneak away to see Breaking Dawn. Even though the movie theater parking lot was packed, we got a great parking spot. We were in line an hour and a half before the movie started and there were only 6 girls in front of us. We got our favorite seats. And we thought Breaking Dawn was the best Twilight since the first one.

Last week, while DaddyO was out of town, I was thankful that I was able to keep my cool while this boy pushed EVERY button I possess. He is the Grand Master Button Pusher and after he's pushed, he twists!Even with visions of beatings dancing through my head, I didn't harm a single hair on his! It's a good thing he is well behaved and darling most of the time!

Last week, I was thankful that this boy got a Game Ball for having such a great game on Saturday.

My little slugger wasn't feeling well and made EVERY attempt to get out of playing. But with some clever bribery, I talked him in to participating in the game. They were playing their toughest competition of the season, and by the 3rd inning the other team was up 1-0 with a few of our REALLY good players striking out. Bailey got up to the plate with one teammate on 2nd and he hit the ball to bring him home and tie up the game. On the next hit, Bailey was able to make it home and put his team in to the lead. After that, the rest of the team followed suit and they were able to win 1-10. This was Bailey's first Game Ball after playing with this team for 3 seasons. He was due. I was so happy for him! He was pretty pleased as well.

Last week, I was thankful that ALL of my trick-or-treaters were feeling good enough to go out and beg for candy. On any other day they had congestion, coughing, sore throats, chapped lips and some of them were puking. I was afraid I was going to have to go out and explain why I was trying to get candy for a sick kid(s). Here they are right before we left to fill their trick-or-treat bags! Miss Daisy wasn't missing one ounce of her spunk when I told asked everyone to look at the camera, she turned away.

I was also thankful for being able to catch moments like these without waking anyone up!

And now......the Ladies

Miss Lily

The big kids all went with  a HORROR theme this year. I begged and pleaded with Lily to let me make her a tutu but she refused. Shocking, I know!

Luckily, this 'Lil Gal is still easily influenced.

She was excited to be a butterfly, but the second I put the tutu on, she started yanking on it and said "it bothers me!"  *eye roll*

I told her if she let me get some good pictures of her, I wouldn't make her wear the tutu trick-or-treating.
How do you think she did?

Two of the best moments of the shoot were when Daisy saw Grandpa pull in to the driveway!

When we left the house, she mentioned that her shoes were feeling funny and for the first 45 minutes of our trick-or-treating she let me know a few more times that her shoes were not right, but she followed the big kids from door to door, overjoyed at all the candy she was getting.We stopped at our house for potty breaks and to check on Grandpa, who was holding down the fort so we wouldn't get tricked later. I got Daisy a different pair of shoes and I didn't realize until I saw this picture why her original pair were giving her such a hard time. And notice she is wearing a different tutu. :)

Poor thing!
