Gratitude Sunday

Sunday's heartfelt tradition. A time to slow down, to reflect, to be grateful. A list of gratitudes.

This week I am grateful for:

Family 

I am grateful my daughter is feeling better after being
diagnosed with influenza.  Their whole family have been
quite ill and I'm so grateful they are getting on top of things.

I am grateful we could spend time together yesterday,
Saturday, celebrating Valentine's and my daughter's
birthday.  We had so much fun playing games:

Heart Stack
















How many conversation candy hearts can you stack
in a minute without them falling over?

Cupid's Arrow















Blowing q-tips through a straw into a red heart-shaped
bowl.  Mom and Dad tied!

Cereal Rings on a Straw












Using one hand and a mini straw trying to get as
many cereal rings on it and into the cup in one
minute.  Harder than it looks!

Mitten Race




















Race to put on over-sized gloves, unwrap candy, chew
and grab a "bubble" packing square, place on chair
and then sit on it to pop it.

Snow Shovel Race
















Using a plastic spoon and only one hand, "shovel" as
many "snowballs" (cotton ball) into bowls as you can
in one minute.

Roll and Draw a Love Bug
















Roll one dice and draw a love bug.  Each number on the
dice indicates a body part to draw...legs, arms, nose, etc.

Candy on Pre-Printed Paper















How quickly can you match candy to pictures on the
paper?  Yeah for Hailey!  She's our winner!


Thanks for choosing Pizza for your Birthday dinner!
We LOVE Pizza!


Getting a little help blowing out the candles!

I'm also grateful for these first two little blooms on
my crocuses telling me that Spring can't be too
far away.


















I truly have much to be grateful for on this Sunday.
