Small Successes and Thankful Thursday

Howdy! Wow! I've posted more this week! I'm excited! I've missed it. I've been feeling better, and things have come to mind I've wanted to remember. I've got so much more churning inside, or kid milestones to jot down....and the pictures....WOW!!

Until then....what have I succeeded at?




1. We have had fabulous weekends away with friends. A birthday weekend for Lovely and me, and this past weekend an overnight with old friends. But, when you are gone every weekend in Oct - it can be hard to do little family "fall" things. I was happy to take advantage of a sunny day Tuesday, and go with Hubby and the kids to a really cool pumpkin patch at our local national park. We "could" go this weekend, but there is a chance (80%) of rain for the weekend. We got some great pictures! Most importantly, we had time together. It was great!

2. I've gotten back to cooking healthy after a lot of FUN food nights (too many fun nights....uh oh scale!) lately. It feels good. Tonight? Healthy chili. We'll be practicing for our church supper club Sat we're hosting at the house. I hope it turns out!

3. I got to volunteer finally at Lovely's school yesterday! I got to stay 2 1/2 hours after school making bows for gift baskets and wrapping the baskets for the silent auction at their fall festival this weekend. It felt GREAT to finally help out!!!


How are you doing?
