Monday Mugs: Thankful Week 2

I am hooking up with Heather of Oswald Cuties again for an easy Monday post.

This week's theme is Thankful week two.

This week I am thankful for the simplicity of life at this stage.

By this I mean the fact that on Saturday night, when dinner was finished early, it was cold and dark and everyone was a bit restless....

A simple trip to Krispy Kreme's made everyone so happy.

The kids watched the donuts being made while we waited in line (and some more after we ate our donuts)

And of course we got to eat some. Warm, glazed donuts.We made short work of a dozen

And everyone was happy. It won't always be this simple. But for now while it is, I am going to enjoy it.
What simple things are you thankful for?

    Isn't it amazing how something so simple can brighten up your child's day? We did donuts Saturday morning. :)

    I totally agree that you need to enjoy and relish those small, simple things that makes everyone happy.

    Last night, I spent some time in my bed, snuggling with my boys while watching TV. It was so nice.

    I beg to differ. It IS still this simple. A dozen Krispy Kremes fixes me every time! :o)

    There is nothing better than warm doughnuts. Before I was a stay at home mom, I was a doughnut maker at one of our grocery stores. Lots of pounds gained doing that job :)

    I have a kid who won't eat donuts. Boo.

    He is robbing me of the simplicity. ROBBING ME. OK, maybe I'm just bitter about being denied donuts.

    I'm thankful for small things too. And I can't believe I have never eaten a Krispie Kreme donut!

    I have to agree with Sarah Kate...I think those Krispy Kremes would fix someone at any age! Hopefully you can keep a store handy!

    Now I'm craving donuts too! Yummy!!
    I didn't know you could watch them make donuts. My kids would love that. Nothing better than a little kid entertainment so you can enjoy your donut too!
    Thanks for playin' along today!

    I am not crying over the fact you have Krispy Kreme...I am not, no, no...Fine. I am. We have none left here, and you are so right about those little glazed rings of happiness.

    Love Krispie Kremes! We try to get down there right after the kids get their grades for the term. They always get 6 free donuts EACH and then I buy a dozen for the rest of us to share. So fun!

    Donuts, particularly warm Krispy Kreme donuts, always make me happy. I love it how simple things can bright up my children's days. Seeing their happiness really makes me happy.

    Glad you and your family got a moment to enjoy some family time.
