Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends!  I hope you've had a great week.  We're all ready for the weekend.

The best parts of our week were:

1. Surprise flower deliveries are always a favorite!  Kevin dropped off a beautiful bouquet for me and one for my assistant.  It definitely brightened our days.


2. Leo working so hard to earn the Happy Hedgehog for his class!

3. Trying the pumpkin cookies at Crumbl!  And realizing they were good, but my pumpkin cookies are better.  Let the Fall baking begin.

4. When you are twinning with your teacher and she texts me this picture.  The best!

5. Our new school schedule has me catching the sunrise most days.  I still don't love waking up in the 5am hour, but I have enjoyed the view - a little fog, a little sunrise, a glimpse of a rainbow and enjoying the sunrise over the farm.  Fletcher was so excited to show me the rainbow in the clouds.  The boys have been waking up earlier than ever, too.

6. Sweet gifts from sweet students.

7. You know I love Walmart delivery.  We got a surprise with our latest delivery.  I ordered our usuals, check our porch and found lots of extra bags.  No names on any of it except mine so we got lots of bonus food to try this week!

8. Olive's rec volleyball league wrapped up this month.  She really enjoyed herself, had fun playing with her friends and I think she'll play again.


9. When you know your mom is friends with all the teachers at school, you ask them to send pictures to your mom.  I got this message of Leo painting in Tech class.

10. More sunrises.  Temps have cooled off a bit this week which is a nice change from the 100+ temps last week.

11. Encouraging note and treats from your admin and sweet flowers from your husband make a long week better.

12. Back to School night at Jr. High.  Olive walked me through her schedule.  I am so impressed.  She's got her schedule memorized, her routes planned to see friends, helps anyone struggling with their lockers and is trying new things.  Jr. High Olive is thriving!  She's having the best time with all the new - chewing gum at school, so many teachers, new responsibilities.  It's been so fun to watch her shine!
Science class pet.

13. Mr. Mittens loves a sunny spot.

14. Penny and Pearl turned 5 this week!  We made a pumpkin cake for us and got them a variety of treats to eat over the weekend.  They were tiny babies when Leo was a tiny baby.  

15. My favorite reminder of the week.  True for home.  True for school.


Hope you have a great weekend!  I'll see you back here next week :)

    Yum to the cookies and the bonus food with your delivery!
    Well done to the kids at school, especially Olive who sounds like she's settling in so well.
