it’s Friday. ::woot::
who doesn’t love Friday? the sweet sense of accomplishment as you look back at your massive to-do list that you were able to whip into submission hopefully stress-free week (hey, we got through it, right?), combined with the prospect of a fresh, unspoiled weekend ahead. ahhh. ::happy sigh::
this weekend is going to be especially sweet as this was our first full, official week of homeschool. granted, we’re only working on pre-school and kindergarten level this year, but with my fresh set of lesson plans and a newly made chore chart it certainly felt official. my typically footloose and fancy free kids have done a phenomenal job of learning to sit still for 5 – 7 minutes at a time (thomas) and are beginning to grasp that the hardest part of learning is realizing that at the ripe old age of 5-almost-6 there are, in fact, a few things you still don’t know (sophia). so what with the full week of school, and the many outings and playdates my friends and family have kindly helped out with while I’m bedrestin’ it, my munchkins are excited about their “saturday show morning” where they get to eat treat cereal – aka any cereal that comes out of a box and isn’t oatmeal or one of mom’s homemade-masonjar-cereals -. apparently my little foodies palate isn’t as cultured as I thought it was; they’ve had no problem adjusting to a different diet + way more take out than they’re used to. not that it hasn’t affected their health and behavior, but that’s a different post altogether…
now as I wish you a Happy Friday and get back to our lazy afternoon of coloring and playing angry birds the board game, I’ll leave you with a few of my friday favs.:
even though the 80+ degree weather might not feel very fall-ish, munching on my latest pregnancy craving, Starbucks’ pumpkin scone definitely helps me pretend fall is in the air. looking forward to trying this yummy copy cat recipe when I can bake again.
speaking of fall, one of my favorite time wasters while confined to the couch is perusing the internet for fun, autumn additions to my closet. currently loving this one.
bed rest has also been helpful in my quest to perfect the DIY manicure – definitely my favorite new hobby
so thankful for the truth expounded in this book. my trust in the Lord has been challenged and forced to grow through these little daily readings.
and lastly… these are definitely two of my favorites:
enjoy the weekend!
