Friday Favorites [3-29-2024]

 


It's Friday, I have a long weekend, and that makes me a happy lady. 😉 As usual. I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea and sharing my favorites from the week! 

My day on Thursday started off pretty snuggly. Jack woke up when I was wrapping up my workout, so I headed upstairs to help him. We were snuggling in the rocking chair, and Sammy woke up and joined us. 😊 Those few minutes of snuggling and rocking my boys absolutely warmed my mama heart. 

I love this picture of Jack. He was working on a piece of bread about the size of his head! He's at the point where it appears that he's eating really well, but then you lift him up out of his highchair and wonder if any food *actually* made it into his mouth. Haha. 


My Greek Inspired Pasta Salad was another favorite from the week. It made for a yummy, easy lunch to bring to work! We're reaching the point of the school year where I'm gradually losing steam with packing lunches. 😅

I shared on What's Up Wednesday that I've recently converted to the LMNT Electrolytes, instead of Sugar-Free Liquid IV. Starting my morning with a big cup of LMNT is one of my favorite things. 

Thursday was a really special day at my school. It was called "Think Different Day," and it is a mental health day for teachers and students. We take a total break from academics, and the kids rotate through stations throughout the day. They could make kites, learn how to make balloon animals, play with play dough, make a kazoo...lots of fun things. I hosted "Diary of a Worm" dirt cups, where we read "Diary of a Worm" and made a little pudding dirt cup snack. It was a nice change of pace ahead of the three day weekend! 

Dustin kept the boys home on Tuesday, and they had a snuggly day together. I loved getting pictures from Dustin throughout the day. Look at this one of Jack trying to climb Roo's dog stairs. He's thinking, "Thanks for getting me something to climb!"

Sammy started a T-Ball camp this week at the YMCA and he was so excited! He couldn't have been happier to head out the door with Dustin. I'm looking forward to watching all the T-Ball games this summer! 

My last favorite of the week is this sweet picture of my two favorite little boys. 😊 I love any and all opportunities to put them in matching clothes!

Happy Easter, everyone! I'll see you back here on Monday. XX

    The Think Different Day at school sounds wonderful!

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today!

Sammy is SEVEN!

  Sammy is SEVEN! Seven years ago we were at the hospital, excited and nervous to meet our Samuel John.  Sammy was always a happy baby and toddler, and that's continued into childhood. He is so affable, friendly, and confident! He loves his family, he loves to play and he loves to be active. Games are his favorite, and he loves to "snuggle."  Since returning back to school, he's developed a huge love of reading! As a first grade teacher this WARMS my heart. He loves most books, but right now he favors graphic novels. He is the best big brother. Without us asking, he is so willing to help his brother. Just yesterday, Jack sneezed and Sammy ran to get him a wipe and then proceeded to wipe Jack's nose for him. If someone gets hurt he often hurries to see what's wrong and if he can help. He's a lot like Dustin in that he loves to have fun and be social. He's a lot like me in that he loves to make lists and know the when/how things are happening. He loves a...

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...
