1. I am thankful for a husband who has not shown me one bit of ill will or frustration after I backed into his (beloved) car on Saturday.
2. I am thankful no children were injured during this photo. It was all of their first bouts with a pinata - Don't call DSS yet, we didn't give any of them real sticks to hit it with until other children were out of reach.
3. I am thankful for door handles in our house as opposed to door knobs. I have a tendency to carry more things in my arms than necessary and the handles have proved very "handy" as I use my elbows to open the door.
4. I am thankful for my mom who takes care of Katie every day and often brings her home or picks her up when I have run myself late.
5. I am thankful for couponing websites that helped me score 2 bags of Huggies wipes for $2.50 total when it would have been $8.39 each pack!
6. I am thankful that Katie loves animals and doesn't seem too afraid of them (except for the mechanical roaring Triceratops we've come across at 2 friends houses and the clearance aisle at WalMart).
7. I am thankful for having been able to lose a few pounds allowing me to finally fit back into some more of my pre-baby clothes and even a few that haven't fit for a few years!
8. I am thankful for friends who live in other states that always make me laugh when we talk and always seem to find the exact right time to call.
9. I am thankful for the government's willingness to give me back some of my money I've loaned to them over the past year in the form of a tax return and thankful for a mother in law who is going to help us prepare our taxes as soon as we get our act together.
10. I am thankful for Doug's job and job security...But I wish they weren't sending him to Birmingham for a few days! (OOPS - that was a small complaint/grumble - but I really am so thankful for his job!
This list took way longer and way more thought than it should have...I know that I complain too much - often times because it is easier and funnier to do so. I hope you have an easier time coming up with 10 things from the past week that you're thankful for!

Oh my goodness, you hit Doug's car?!?! And he wasn't mad?!?! You DO have a lot to be thankful for this week!
I am so thankful that Doug has you and you have Doug and that you both have Katie who is brilliant as well as beautiful!
