Thanks to our host Susanne for reminding us to be mindful each week and find five things to be thankful for. You can join in by clicking on the link below:
1) Refund from the gas supplier - we had overpaid on our old house and a cheque arrived in the post this week. Hopefully this house will be cheaper to heat but time will tell.
2) A visit with Grandsons Rory & Vinny - we had them and their Mummy and Daddy here for Sunday lunch last week - they hadn't seen the house. Rory loved running around the circuit of living room to dining room to kitchen to hall and....repeat! We had to close some doors lol.
3) People who work with the homeless and those in need - there is a couple from our old area that collect unwanted clothing etc for a homeless project and help out with a food bank. We had some stuff to get rid of and we thought it might be too far for him to come but he was collecting other stuff nearby so he came to us on Monday and took some clothes and some food. The amount of people relying on charity and food banks is increasing all the time.
4) A visit with Grandson Nathan - his Mummies had a hospital appointment so we looked after him on Tuesday. We played a lot of hide and seek and we also joined in with Cosmic Yoga for kids. Well we tried. I didn't think I was being particularly energetic, mainly using my arms and upper body and not jumping up and down but my Fitbit recorded it as a 15 minute aerobic session lol. I'll take that!
He's getting so grown up looking!
5) A good use for social media - our dishwasher has developed a fault that requires expert intervention so I searched within our local Facebook groups and found several recommendations for the same repair guy. He's coming on Monday.
Today I'm also thankful that we managed to get the things from IKEA we've been waiting for which means tomorrow we can (hopefully) get the units etc assembled and make some progress on tackling the last boxes we have to unpack.
It's the little things.....
Speaking of which can't leave out Grandson Miles:
Or big brother Noah:
Have a good weekend all.
Loved seeing the photos of you and all of those sweet kiddos!! Hope the dishwasher is an easy fix and that the IKEA units are easy to assemble. Have a good weekend, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri. I'm hoping the dishwasher can be fixed too.
DeleteMoving seems to go on and on forever doesn’t it? Your grandsons are so darn cute! You must have such a great time with them.
ReplyDeleteWe're getting there and our shed arrived today so once that's assembled and the furniture we should be able to get the rest of our stuff unpacked and sorted.
DeleteIt just dawned on me that you have all grandsons!!! Will the next one be a girl???!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute the boys are! Great pics!!
Have a blessed weekend!!
Thanks. Yes the one due in late November is a girl.
DeleteThey are all so cute and only boys ?? I like your "new head" very much ! Nice haircut !
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yep all boys so far but the next one due is a girl.
DeleteIt sounds like you're settling in quickly. We have a 'running circuit' similar to yours in our house. Unfortunately, we don't have any doors to close;)
ReplyDeleteOh no. We are glad of the doors!
DeleteHow nice to get the gas refund! Glad the grandsons liked the new house. I'd have to close the door, too, after a few run-throughs. :-) That is a great ministry to help with clothing and such for those in need. It's nice when you get multiple recommendations for the same repair person
ReplyDeleteYep the door got closed lol. I'm just hoping we'll be as happy to recommend the repair man.
DeleteAnother busy week for you. Good news getting a refund and the collection of unwanted clothes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie. Every week seems to be busy at the moment lol
DeleteI always love the refunds! The fun of a new house for kids. They always find some path to run. LOL. Love the pics!
