Friday Favorites [3-8-2024]

 


Guys...we made it. This has been a LONG WEEK! Dustin left early morning on Monday and has been gone the entire week at a training. That in of itself is challenging, but throw parent-teacher conference week on top of it? It's been a long one, and I couldn't be happier for Spring Break to finally get here. 😊

As usual I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from my week. 

My first favorite...


...is this. Ahhh. Spring Break feels pretty nice for this tired first grade teacher. We don't have much of anything planned, but the weather looks to be nice, and I'm excited to spend time with my people. 

And since it's Spring Break that has to mean that Summer won't be too far behind. The fourth quarter of school is always a flurry of activity, and it seems to go by in a FLASH! 

I can't believe that this will be Sammy's last summer before he goes to kindergarten in the fall. When did he get big enough to be a school aged student? Time is a thief. I took this photo after he tried on a new outfit [pardon the messy room], and I thought "oh, this could be his first day of school outfit!" 

Our sweet PTA has taken really good care of us teachers this week. They bring in dinner for us on Tuesday and Thursday, and it's typically pretty yummy. On Thursday they had a food truck for us. It's always a treat to not have to worry about dinner for myself on these nights. 

A little smiley-faced baby is ALWAYS a favorite of mine. 😊 His top teeth have FINALLY come in which is such a relief...for both of us! 

It's a short and sweet post today, friends. I'll still be back blogging next week, so be sure to pop in! Have a GREAT weekend!

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...
