Thankful Thursday

After a much needed and not really intended break from the internet, I back for Thankful Thursday!

My parents came down to the Sunny Shenandoah Valley to meet up with us and load up their car and our van with vacation gear. We squeezed all 5 kids into the van and off we went to discover Historic Colonial Williamsburg and participate in the Homeschool Experience here, we are all so excited!! I am so Thankful for friends with vacation spots!

Sometimes technology gets the best of me, and because of that sometimes I feel every bit of my 40 years. It took me since last night to figure out how to get connected to the internet, but I finally did, and I am Thankful that Honey Nut and Wee Nut passed out in their highchairs after lunch and are giving me the chance to actually sit down and share Thankful Thursdays with you!

It turns out I forgot to pack quite a bit, the most important thing I forgot was my camera! Yes I forgot my camera. Gah! I also forgot food from the fridge that includes but is not limited to yogurt, cream cheese, catsup, mustard, grapes, red & yellow peppers, apples, Coke (aahhh!) and also forgot laundry detergent, flip-flops for the pool, bread, dog rolls, um diapers, beer, wine, coffee, bagels, coffee filters, sunscreen and most likely a few other things. How is it possible to forget so many things?!

As always, I am Thankful for my happy, healthy, wild little beasties that run around my house all day long driving me crazy, I am Thankful that we have a roof over our heads and for our wonderfully supportive group of friends and family and all the ways they help us.

So what are you Thankful for today? It is so easy to join in and tell everyone.

Here is how Thankful Thursdays works:

1. Post your Thankful Thoughts on your blog. Somewhere in your post please mention The Nut House and/or ourhappynuthouse.com so that your friends, family and visitors know where to find other Thankful Thoughts. You can also grab my Thankful Thursdays banner and link to that. Once you have done that you can come back here and add your post to MckLinky.

Not everyone has a blog, so:

2. If you don’t have a blog, you can leave a Thankful Thoughts comment in the comment section.

3. You can show your Thankful Thoughts any way you like, as a list, a story, a vlog, as one word, one sentence or just a picture.
