Gratitude Journal - 10/26

It's been a wonderful day with no real pressure to get much of anything done.  I love Sunday's for that.  Although it's looking like tomorrow is going to be a busy day trying to get my tornado of a house back under control.  Here are the things that topped my gratitude list today.

Beautiful weather - kids played outside today shoe and jacket free in late October!  How wonderful is that?

Groceries - That was the highlight of my day.  I spent more than I was planning but the money was there to do it and I got a lot of great deals and meals for at least a week and a half plus a lot of new things for Sophea's lunch box and ingredients that will last quite a bit longer and save on future grocery lists.  I'm especially excited about the oatmeal ingredients.  I found quite a bit of dried fruit and grains.  I'm also going to try a recipe with lentils this week and I've never had them but so many of my friends swear by them. 

Unexpected money - Travis was able to go and do a couple tattoos last night and that added to the amount I was able to spend on groceries this week!  Thanks hubby!  You are going to be eating good this week :)

A wonderful offer for Ali's senior pictures - I was asking on facebook if anyone knew someone locally that does great pictures and I got an inbox message from someone we are familiar with who is looking to build their portfolio and is going to give us a great deal.  Very exciting.

Hannah and Ali coming home - it is always so nice to have their energy back in the house after they have been away for a couple days.  This picture is 2 years old!!!!   I really need to get a picture of them together that is more recent!

Messy painted fingernails - littles had fun painting their nails with the polish they got as one of the prizes at the school carnival yesterday.  They worked on their nails for nearly half an hour!
