Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday! Playing catch up since my list last week was a bit different, but here are the things I'm thankful for today...

1. Some fun during spring break. Even though the snow was cold and heavy, I'm thankful for it because it created an opportunity for the boys to have some fun over spring break last week. Micah went sledding with a friend on Tuesday...

(This is when we picked him up.) And then both Micah and Asher went sledding with friends on Thursday. Thankful we still had this sled. :) (Unfortunately, we've given away the others that we had when boys were younger, so they had to share this one, lol.) 

2. Gag reels. I recently realized that Disney+ offers movie extras, like gag reels and deleted scenes, on their streaming service for at least some of the movies. Woohoo! I love gag reels. :) 

3. Dinner out. We originally had reservations for March 14 to celebrate the anniversary of the day we met. But it snowed a couple feet that day so we cancelled, lol. Last Friday, then, we finally celebrated with dinner at little on mountain. They have fabulous individual tents (with heaters) that you can reserve for a dinner experience...four delicious courses. 

It was amazing!

4. Rearranging. I may be crazy, but I find it strangely rewarding to purge and rearrange things around the house. We've been doing plenty of it during this pandemic year. ;) Our most recent project was relocating Asher's computer set up into his bedroom. This is what our "office" area has looked like in the past... 

Nathan used it for awhile before switching to the basement and then the boys took over the space...

This was the most recent picture I could find of the boys using the space. Sadly, I neglected to take a "before" picture a couple days ago (when it was more of a mess with accumulated junk piled in the far corner). In any case, it looked mostly like that and then we cleared everything out and cleaned it up...

...and then we moved all the games from the basement (and a couple other places around the house) to the area. We're hoping that being able to see them more easily will help us remember what we have. (And, it cleared more space in the guest room, which will be nice.) Also, thankful for the lovely variety and quantity of games that we have. :) 

5. Finishing the lego project. I finally finished off the lego project today. Woohoo! After months of sorting and listing and selling and shipping legos, I donated the remainder of loose pieces to the Boys & Girls Club of Larimer County...

Yes, I definitely could have still sold more of them in various sets and bundles. But. There's something to be said for being done and for helping others. It was quite a lot of loose pieces, and the Boys & Girls Club was so excited to receive them. Thinking of the kids enjoying them makes me happy (and helps with the sadness I still felt at letting them go even though the boys all thought I was crazy). 

And those are some of the things I'm thankful for today. :)
