Thankful Thursday

1. The olympics

I'm so excited that the olympics start this weekend. I love to watch swimming, track and field, gymnastics, diving. All of it.

2. So You Think You Can Dance
Yes, I know that I put this on my thankful thursday a couple months ago. But I just love this show! The final performance show was last night and it was amazing. I can't wait to see the results show tonight. And really, I love all four of them. I will be happy with whoever wins.

3. No more kindergarten
So Gabe is in first grade now, which means I don't have to stop what I am doing in the middle of the afternoon to take him to school or plan my errands around getting him to school. It has been so nice. But he is struggling with all day school. He complains that it is so long. And he is my little homebody too. If anyone has any ideas for making this transition easier I would love to hear them!

4. Cousins
My brother and his wife are on vacation (just the two of them, doesn't that sound heavenly?) and their two daughters are staying with my parents just up the street. Miquelle has loved having them here. They have spent nearly all day, every day, this week together. She has loved it.

5. Craisins

I bought a huge bag of these at Sam's this week and they are my new favorite snack. The perfect mix of sweet and tart. YUM. And there is a recipe on the back of the bag for Oatmeal Craisin White Chocolate Chunk cookies. Put the word "chunk" in any other food and I want to stay far away from that food. Put the word "chunk" in a cookie. Yes please.
