Thanks to Susanne who reminds us each week to look back and find the things we need to be thankful for. Join in here.
1) Dinner at our daughter's last Sunday. It was the first time we'd seen all of them since they got back from their holiday so it was good to catch up with them and spend time with the Grandkids.
2) 1:1 time with Grandson Nathan on Monday and thankfully the weather was dry so a lot of time was spent playing football in the garden which he loves. Certainly got a good step count that day!
3) A long overdue catch up with a couple of friends on Wednesday. We met up for lunch and spent several hours catching up on each others' lives.
4) 1:1 time with Granddaughter Ella today. We played a lot of games - according to the rules of Ella. Who knew that the object of Kerplunk was to get as many balls as possible? Or that the Junior version of UNO was more like Snap? And thankfully I managed to wangle a game of Snakes and Ladders so that Ella won. It's hard to lose games when you're 4, especially when you're a bit of a collector so don't like giving things up.
5) Support for our Foodbank. The local wine bar is hosting a quiz for us next week and it's sold out so hopefully that will be a nice cash injection for it. Plus our local Waitrose supermarket has the Foodbank as one of their 3 local causes up for a reward. We might not gain anything from that but it will be nice if we do.
Also grateful for a Hubby that agreed to go Trick or Treating with our Grandson - something out of my comfort zone and the great photo log my DIL has done on Instagram of their trip to Norway, Denmark and Germany this week - the Grandkids have clearly had a great time!
And meals in the freezer when we haven't been shopping!
Have a good weekend all.
Hi Wendy, oh a good list here. :-) Will your husband dress up to go Trick or Treating?
ReplyDeletehow nice to spend time with both grandchildren this week and to have lunch out with friends. I love meeting my friends for brunch, coffee or lunch.
ReplyDeleteWill hubby be going trick or treating in costume?? What will your grandson be dressed as? Our neighborhood usually gets children ringing the door bell between 4:30-8:30 pm . I have a huge bowl of candy and treats for them and hubby will bring any leftovers to work next week.
Have a wonderful weekend.
How lovely to have a catch up with the family and friends! The one on one time with the grandkids is so special.
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy, I enjoyed reading your post today. So nice when we can spend time with the grands. Nice that your hubby can takes the kids out for candy. Nice that you work at the foodbank. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteA great list and time with grandkids is the best of all!! Sending a hug, Wendy! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh I loved going trick or treating with my children when they were young. I also loved giving out the candy because my favourite is seeing all the children in costumes. They are so cute! I'm glad not to have to make costumes anymore though!
