Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends!  It's been a week of surprise snow days and freezing cold weather here.  It was fun to have some bonus days off together.

The best parts of our week were:

1. I bought the boys matching closet organizers and they have been so helpful!  I fill them up with outfits - everything from socks, underwear, pants and shirts - on the weekends.  Then they can just grab an outfit for the day without any help.  The organizers are so affordable and have made getting ready in the mornings so much easier.  Max Houser 6 Tier Shelf Hanging Closet Organizer - it's marked down and has a coupon to clip!  Each section is very roomy and they hang so easily on any closet system.

2. The boys went to bed hoping for snow and got to wake up to this sign in their room!  They were thrilled for a home day.  Olive had to doing some virtual learning and the boys will get make up work.  It was so cold that we didn't play in the snow very much.  Kevin took the big kids out for a quick sledding adventure.  They about froze their faces off.

3. I've been doing a good job at framing favorite pictures.  I hung this family picture from Wisconsin in our little coffee corner of the kitchen.

4. I've been on a chocolate chip bread making kick.  It's so good.  I like to add a little whipped cream cheese to mine and the kids like their bread plain.  It's almost like a giant chocolate chip bagel, but better because it's soft and chewy.

5. We found some cute holiday shirts at Wal-Mart.  The sweatshirt was $8.98 and the t-shirts were $4 or $5 each. What a deal!  I try to stock up on St. Patrick's Day shirts so the kids will have cute Irish shirts to wear during the football season when we're cheering for Notre Dame.

6. Mr. Mittens loves a good blanket pile.  We could have all the cat beds possible and he always chooses a blanket on the floor.

7. Leo loves his Wizard of Oz Little People.  I smile every time I find them lined up somewhere.

8. We went to my nephew's birthday party and my MIL made the most delicious homemade chocolate cake.  Layer cakes aren't my specialty so I really appreciate when someone makes a good one.  It was so yummy that grabbed a piece to go.

9. The king of freezing funny things for me to find in the fridge.  This week it was a water balloon with a tiny rubber duck in it.

10. My valentine roses are still looking so beautiful.  Even after being knocked over a time or two by the cats.

11. A work friend gifted me two of the cutest silk scarves this week!  One in our school colors and the 2nd with my favorite Fall colosr + cats.  It was the sweetest surprise!

12. Find Mom.  Sit on Mom.  Lots of snuggles on this snowy week.

13. We put a little bit of birdseed out on our patio and the cats went crazy watching the birds on the patio.  They sat by the door all day chattering at the birds.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!  See you back here on Monday :)
