Happy Friday!

Happy Friday, friends!  We got some snow last night and are hoping to get a delay this morning.  We'll have to wait until 5am or so until the schools start announcing.  I hope you had a great week.  We had a lot of fun (our Indiana Hoosiers are headed to the playoffs!) and a lot of hard.  Dumb car issues, Notre Dame's football season ended ubruptly, tragic health new for a friend, allergic reactions and lots of Christmas cheer!  Haha.  Can you relate to a week full of ALL the things??

The best parts of our week were:
1. What's your level of holiday cheer?  I'm upping my game and switching out my shoe laces for festive ones.  Aren't these darling!?!  They are anywhere from $3-6 a pair on Amazon and are SO CUTE.  

I have these three pairs so far and LOVE them:
Christmas Red Plaid - pictured here!
& these are on my wish list: Red & white gingham & pink and white gingham

They are so fun for the holidays, school spirit days or just to give some new life to old shoes.

2. Our elves have been busy!  The kids woke up to a hot chocolate bar set up and ready to enjoy after school today.  Stay tuned for an elf post next week.

3. The Cozy Crawl at school!  We go all around the school to the different themed snack stations and enjoy so many different delicious foods.  I love this team of mine.  We had our team dinner one night and that was fun, too.




The cheese table covered in tiny Christmas mice was my favorite!


Christmas cookies - donated by parents and teachers get to fill up a box.

4. A breakfast board for my crew!  They loved it.

5. We had candy cane stripe day at school and my headband was a big hit.  Pumpkin is getting so fluffy!

6. Everyone loves this guy.  Hence the three cats in his bed at bedtime.

7. A sink drink is Pumpkin's favorite.  But look at that tail!  It's as long as his body.

8. Leo loves to sit and draw.  I'm going to miss this view one day when he's too big to sit like this.

9. Crazy Christmas sweater day at school!

10. Building and exploring in our creek.  The boys were excited for some nice weather mid week to get outside and play.

10. 4 years ago we were packing up and relocating to a new city with a VERY BUSY toddler.  He scaled every stack of boxes and was so proud.  I probably wouldn't recommend moving at Christmas in a six week time frame, but we survived and it worked out great for us.

11. You have got to try these!  We sampled them at Sams and almost ate an entire bag in one week.  I'm not a huge peppermint fan, but these are AMAZING.  I need to go and buy more before the season is over.

12. We celebrated my sister's birthday!

13. Pumpkin can smile!  Of course he can.  He's the sweetest so it shouldn't surprise anyone that he can smile.  We sure do love him.

14. Snow!  My dream came true this year and we put candy cane lights on our fence line.  They look so good as do our snow covered trees.  We were supposed to get a dusting, but we measured almost 2 inches.



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