Friday Favorites 10-20-2023

Happy Friday! Today I'm off school as our teacher compensation day following conferences, and we have professional development on Monday. I am PUMPED about a three day weekend and a "short" school week next week. I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week.

Easily my favorite - it was Sammy's birthday on Thursday! We've been counting down the days to his birthday basically since his last birthday. He woke up on Thursday ready to celebrate!

My mom dropped off a birthday donut in the morning complete with a "5" candle.

He was so excited for his present - a Spiderman bike! He's in a bit of a Spiderman phase right now.

He brought birthday treats to preschool and Dustin picked him up. Then they met my great grandma for lunch at a restaurant in town.

Since I was late at work for parent-teacher conferences (boo 😓) the boys brought over dinner and we had cake in my classroom. It was a sweet ending to a fun day! This weekend we will have his family party on Sunday.

Pictures from childcare are my favorite. Look at Baby Jack smiling away!

I went in to give Sammy a kiss goodnight and laughed so hard. He has orange Halloween lights in his room right now and is snuggled under so many blankets. Clifford is tucked under his arm and his Christmas Amazon magazines are within reach. He is prepared for ANYTHING. Haha!

Our last soccer game is tomorrow! It's been such a sweet season watching Sammy play and Dustin coach. I'm going to miss it!

Last Sunday we had chili and cinnamon rolls for dinner. I have to know...is this just an Iowa thing? If you haven't enjoyed a bowl of chili along a cinnamon roll you haven't lived. Trust me. 😉

That's all for this week! It's time to play catch-up from a busy week and get life organized around here. Enjoy your weekend! XX

Sammy is 5!

Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend! Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these Burrito Bowls for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved! It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha. The boys and I love to play in the basement...

I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from our busy, short week! These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year. Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up. This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day! There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha. Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

It's Friday! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from my week. I don't even know HOW it happened, but this is my last official week of summer. Can you hear me crying from wherever you are? 😅 June passed slowly, but July and August flew. I know that I will blink and the upcoming week will be over. We've just been over here trying to soak in all that's left of summer. 😉 On August 6th, Dustin and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! We celebrated with our first date night in an entire calendar year. With Jack's allergies and Dustin's crazy work schedule, we find it so hard to get out just the two of us. It's a goal of ours to make it a priority this year! Sammy's Kindergarten backpack, lunchbox and thermos came and he couldn't have been more excited. We loaded up all of his supplies and he is ready. Me on the other hand? I need someone to come over here and hold me. Haha. Smiley boys at the park are ...
