Friday Favorites [5-10-2024]

 


It's Friday and I couldn't be anymore excited about the upcoming weekend! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some of my Friday Favorites from the week. Settle in, I've got lots of them this week! 

This week was Teacher Appreciation week, and we were spoiled by our PTA. There were an abundance of treats and drinks all week long! My favorite little gift came from one of my students. It was this cute basket filled with all of my favorite things...so thoughtful!


It was Grandparents Day at Sammy's preschool on Monday. He was such a lucky little boy to have both sets of grandparents there with him! 

I snapped this picture of my boys before we went to church on Saturday night. We love an opportunity to match, especially when Bluey is involved. 😉


On Sunday my dad filled a raised garden bed for us, and it involved moving around some dirt. Sammy couldn't have been more thrilled. He ran up to the door and made me admire his worm. Look at that smile! You can tell he was mid-laugh. Haha. 

I used my sourdough discard to make THE BEST pizza crust ever. It was so good! We topped it with sweet Italian sausage, green peppers and red onion and it was perfection. 

Tornado sirens going off at 1AM are NOT our favorite. Look at those sleepy faces! We've had a couple of weeks with severe storms (always occuring in the middle of the night!) and I'm ready for a reprieve. 


I am loving that the boys are able to play more and more with each other. Sammy loves to make Jack laugh, and Jack is always pretty close in proximity to his brother. I hope it continues!


Dustin and Sammy went to an iCubs game on Thursday and had a great time together! Sammy got called onto the field to play a game and I think he ate everything being sold in the concession stand. I love the picture of the two of them! 

That's it for today, I hope everyone has a Happy Mother's Day this weekend! See you back here on Monday. XX

    Oh gosh, the storms sound like such a worry.

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...

What's Up Wednesday [September 2024]

And just like that...it's the last week of the month! Time for What's Up Wednesday with  Sheaffer  and  Shay .  What We're Eating this Week... Fall weather is officially upon us, so I'm craving warm, comforting meals. This week's menu is... Sunday - Meatloaf and green beans Monday - Chicken Pot Pie with a green salad Tuesday - "Smash Burger" tacos  Wednesday - BBQ Chicken bowls Thursday - Spaghetti  Friday - we're grilling up the Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar Chicken sausages...so good!  My boys have been eating a lot of pumpkin muffins this week. I had to make a second batch this evening because Sammy ate 5 (5!) in one day.  We're basically eating pumpkin in whatever we can these days, which is why I made these pumpkin sourdough discard bagels. A warm bagel + pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's = a little slice of heaven. 😊 What I'm reminiscing about... As always...this time last year. Look how small and squishy Baby Jack was!  T...
