Grains of Gratitude

Another week gone by and another week older for Lucas - 8 wks yesterday!

Things I'm grateful for from last week:

1. Our MOPS Silent Auction went well with a lot of donations from the local businesses. We raised over $500 which is great for the group. I'm also glad that's over with as it takes a bit of work to get it all coordinated!

2. Another box of clothes for Lucas! Thank you so much Nisa and Lani for the clothes!

3. I'm grateful Bunco was on Friday :) Joe watched Katelyn for Jennifer and I took Lucas with me. The girls got a playdate, Jennifer got a break (her husband is in Korea), and Lucas got passed around LOL.

4. It was another free day at the zoo on Saturday. A local church held a "kids carnival" and Kayla always enjoys going to the zoo. She really likes feeding the ducks so that's always a plus for her. They had a bouncy house and she was able to jump to her heart's content!

5. I'm grateful for my husband's thoughtfulness. Last night he went over to a friend's house where a bunch of guys were getting together to watch the fight. He offered to take Kayla to give me some quiet time. I planned to use that time to do some scrapbooking which I haven't done in months now. Unfortunately Lucas didn't quite cooperate with my plans so I didn't really get to scrap, by the time he fell asleep for the night I wasn't in the mood to scrap anymore...bummer. But I'm still grateful Joe took Kayla with him for a few hours anyway!

6. I'm grateful to Christine for having a blogiversary contest all last week...I won a $25 gift card to Outback! Thanks Christine! The closest one to us is almost an hour away, so we don't get to go that often - this will be a nice treat next time we're in Las Cruces!

Tomorrow starts another round of Bloggy Giveaway Carnival. The carnival will be going on all week so make sure you check it out for your chance to win! I've got a few things I'm giving away, so stay tuned!
