Many Friday Blessings

Today was a day of many blessings ... after I got over the lack of sleep due to Freddie Kruger nightmares. Seriously it was wild and the thing is these movies never really scared me but these nightmares were seriously crazy. Oh well, what can I say we all have a crazy night every now and again.

This morning Brandon and I managed to get the den finished finally. It was a week long project that I am so glad is in the past. Now to keep it that way. We filled up another garbage with stuff that was either broken or missing pieces and then the back of Brandon's truck with stuff for the donation bins. It was bittersweet to get rid of so much, but there is still so much stuff. Sometimes I wonder where the heck it all came from. It was great to watch them be able to really use the den and they were so grateful to have it cleaned and organized. The funny thing is that they have not even noticed what is missing! So obviously I made the right choices when deciding what to keep and what to get rid of.

John Michael absolutely cracked us up. He was playing with the play-doh, which he loves. He made a play-doh friend and named him Daniel. It was so cute! He misses Danny when he is at school. Super sweet moment in my heart. Of course as soon as they are together they are fighting usually, but I guess it is part of being brothers. I hope that it gets better soon. I like the fun moments the most.

I taught the boys how to play Trouble tonight. I was super proud we had a good thirty minutes of no fighting fun! We plan more family game nights.

We had a great dinner, seafood and chicken box, with some great friends. Thank you Nick, J, Kiersten and Elliott for a nice Friday night! The boys were exhausted and passed out probably before they were off the street. Brandon and I also had a nice time, it is always nice to have and enjoy company.

Well, it is definitely not before 9, but tomorrow is a new day. Before I go to bed I will as always say a prayer for all of my friends and family. Consider your spoken and unspoken request prayed for. I also pray for a successful photo shoot in the morning. I love photography and thank God for allowing me to do what I love.
