Thankful Thursday 5/5/11

So, the weather guy on our local news station said we have had the rainiest 30-day streak in our history. I believe him. My back yard has NEVER looked like this in the eight years we have lived here:
I am thankful none of this has ended up in our basement!

You can share your gratitudes with The Bug.

Sunday- All dressed up for Easter.

Monday- Lazy napping kitty.

Thursday- School play. Viv is in the middle, in the pin skeleton PJ's.

Friday- Turtle ice cream cake for dessert at scrapbooking!
