THANKFUL x's infinity!!

I've been trying to get my words together to express to you all, how much I have enjoyed this week off with my kids and how Friday was one of the best days in our families lives.....for some reason, me who is rarely ever at a loss for words, has been completely speechless.
I'm full of wonderful emotions and beautiful thoughts but I can't seem to make my words translate to the glory that I am feeling!

The kids and I (everyone breathe in with me) did not do much of anything this week (now EXHALE, didn't that feel good?)

Lazy mornings, 1 day where we stayed in our PJ's all day, long walks with the dogs, 2 days at the park, movies on the sofa and everyone wrapped up in the big chenille blankets, soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch and dinner and when I thought the week couldn't get any better....here comes Friday.

We went to Chattanooga, Tn. for the day, Ruby Falls, Incline Railway and Rock City was our destination.....

Throughout the day I heard each one of my kids, say more than once, how cool, awesome, nice and fun the day was. Those were all my thoughts as well :) and music to a mommas ears!
It's not the easiest thing to please a 12, 9 and 6 year old all at the same time and let's not forget the 33 and 35 year olds as well.

There were moments during the day when I would look at my kids while they were exploring or noticing "something that was totally cool" and just think to myself I AM THE LUCKIEST WOMAN ALIVE.


I'm a very emotional person, I'm the person who cries when she is happy and sad. When I get REALLY REALLY mad I ...cry, I'm sure I've even cried because I was hungry. (I do have a very special relationship with bread and cheesecake).

So me teary eyed is nothing new.

But on Friday it was just sheer joy and happiness all day.

Grateful for a beautiful day....
Thankful for the time....
Happy that we were all together...

Have I told you all lately how "my god" is a wonderful god??
