Friday Five

Happy Friday, friends!  I hope you've had a nice week.  We had a perfectly regular, routine week here and I'm really thankful.  It was busy and everything went as planned.  Hooray!

Today I'm going to recap five current events for each of us.

Kevin & Whitney:

1. Work is busy.  A million projects going on for me.  Interview season for the next cohort of graduate students + a million projects for him.  

2. Date nights have been hard to come by unless you count watching a show together after the kids go to bed.  We were looking forward to a neighborhood Super Bowl party, but it got cancelled due to sickness.  Tis the season.

3. Kevin's latest research was published.  Whitney won the January employee compliment award.

4. Grocery delivery is life changing.

5. Sams > Costco.

Olive:

1. 6th grade is awesome - lunches with her teacher, leadership opportunities, jobs around the school, friends, sleepovers and more.  She'll be sad to say goodbye to 6th grade.

2. Tennis is fine, but she mostly signed up to spend some extra time with friends after school.

3. Canva master.  She's made valentines for my class, valentines for Fletcher, posters for her school clubs and has birthday party invitations in her drafts.

4. Mystery books are her jam.

5. There is no such thing as having too many oversized sweatshirts, lip gloss and perfume.

Fletcher:

1. His teacher called him big brain this week.

2. He's been reading by flashlight every night before bed.  And easily hit his Q3 reading goal just a few weeks into the quarter.

3. He wakes up to an alarm clock every morning, gets dressed and ready right away.  No dilly dallying.

4. His Christmas gift of a PS5 has been a huge hit. 

5. He's very good at coding in computer class.  I love bumping into him at school.

Leo:

1. He's really into the Wizard of Oz lately after we watched the original oz movie over Christmas break.  And building structures since that what they are learning about at school right now.  

2. Hawaiian Rolls and cookies are the way to his heart.

3. His favorite thing to whisper to me is "You're so pretty and so beautiful!"

4. He isn't a morning person.

5. He gives us a play by play of his days at school and has learned all the kids, teachers and staff names.

I hope you have a great weekend!  We've got a few fun things planned and some snow in the forecast for next week.  See you on Monday.
