Small Successes and Thankful Thursday.


Thanks so much to Sherri from Chocolate for your brain for hosting Small Successes each week.

I have a few this week.

First, we went on Tuesday to see Cars two. It was a great movie.

Second, Steve and I have been to mass everyday.

Third, we took Madeline and Brigette to YCS camp on Monday. We also kept up with all the house work while they were gone.

fourth, we walked to mass on Tuesday with our younger 4 children. Joseph went in the pusher and all the others said they wished they were small still and could have a ride in it.

As well as these successes, I am thankful this week for:

The school holidays and spending time together as a family.

Going to see Cars two with the children.

A big pot of pumpkin soup sitting on our stove top.

A freezer that will take the excess for another meal, another night.

I am now so wanting a cup of pumpkin soup. I love cooking with pumpkin --share the recipe please! I fixed Mr. Linky and added your blog and name. Thanks for being part of Small Success Thursday!

Going to mass everyday, inspiring. I'd been thinking I needed to push myself --don't know if I could do every day with the littles, but I could do more than none!

It's such a wonderful feeling to keep up the housework! I only have one son and a husband and often feel like the house needs straightening up. When everything is clean and organized it can make my day start out happy!

I find it so satisfying when I add up all the successes and realise what we've actually achieved. I'm glad you're enjoying your holidays, Therese:)

Great week! We saw Cars 2 a few weekends ago - my little man loved it! And make sure to share the recipe for pumpkin soup - sounds like a great fall meal for us.

I have posted the recipe for pumpkin soup and broccoli soup for those of you that have asked for it.

Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research.
