(less) awkward and (more) awesome thursday

I don't know what's going on but the awkwardness just hasn't been happening lately.  I'm looking into why that is... but in light of the predicament that creates, I'm dedicating this Thursday to the pure awesomeness in my life.

Awesome:

-My aunt Rose's homemade scalloped potatoes and ham.  Had them last night.  They were de. lish.  I'm working on getting her recipe.  :)

-"I'm not Austin anymore.  I'm Superman.  Today's my birthday, so I'm Superman now."

Yes, one of my kids just said that.  And it's NOT his birthday.  He also brought ants on a log for snack.... because he's Superman.  He said so.  I have confidence that he'll protect me...... or run away screaming...
 

-Girl's night.  I had the opportunity to spend last Friday night with 6 other amazing women who I don't normally get to see and I loved LOVED it!!  We cracked open some wine and spent the evening just talking and hanging out!!  I haven't laughed that hard in a long time and we def need to start planning more nights like that!

-The many, MANY hugs and "I love you"s I hear throughout the day from my kiddos.  They make my heart melt every time and make me want to do better for them.

-Listening to my kids sound out words.  They may not spell it right, but they're making HUGE process!!  ((BTW... these are 4-year-olds that are doing this folks.  Talk about a proud teacher right here!!!!!))

-More and more awesome hats.  My kids are the coolest ever.

-Listening to my kids sing songs.  A few days ago it was Tik Tok.  The other day it was the WonderPets theme song.  Today it's Jar of Hearts.  Awesome.

What were some of your awesome moments??

Happy Thursday!!
