1) A house that is still standing. This past Sunday we had a little fire scare at our house. Basically, long-story-short... the power lines on our street had a huge power surge that all went directly into our house and caught the side of the house on fire. We weren't home at the time, but thankfully my next door neighbor was, and she heard the fire from her house and came to the rescue. She put the fire out with her extinguisher and called the fire department.
We are beyond thankful for her. This would have been an entirely different story if she had not been home. This little scare has really made me pause and count my blessings this week.
2) Sidewalk chalk. I had a fun little Saturday chalk date with this adorable kiddo this past weekend. He and his mom are staying with us for a while and he recently found my stash of long-forgotten sidewalk chalk.
I mean, does one ever get too old for sidewalk chalk?? I highly doubt it.
3) Girls' game night. Nothing beats a night of Mellow Mushroom pizza and Mexican Train dominoes... especially with great company. This past weekend I enjoyed a fabulous night with the girls... catching up and laughing until we cried...
can't beat it.

Never too old for sidewalk chalk... Someone I know very well still sleeps with his stuffed dinosaur. He's nearly 40. And I love him for it. ;)
I am so thankful that the fire was not more serious. On a lighter note- when my babies were newborns our date night was to get the other kids into bed have the teenagers babysit while we packed the new baby in the car seat and drove 20 miles to the nearest dunkin donuts drive thru!!
What a fun link-up! Thanks for hosting. I'm your newest follower.
