Five on Friday - It's the BIG Weekend!

Happy Friday, friends! I am so incredibly happy to be posting this Five on Friday as it is the long awaited four day weekend, before the long awaited last week of school. Tunnel, light.

One.



Zoey conned me into walking over to our neighborhood park last weekend...little did we know there would be not one, but TWO bounce houses, firefighters, a fire TRUCK, police officers, hot dogs, AND cookies!! Best day ever for this toddler.

Two.



We also visited the scene of Zoey's birthday party and clearly I have the smartest husband ever. Convince the toddler it'll be fun to push daddy...check.

Three.



Lukie was a good sport at the park; he is such a little champ. Look at all that unassisted sitting he's doing! He's so close.

 

Four.



Honi's Coffee came to our school yesterday and made iced coffees in the morning and shakes at lunch time. Our front office is amazing and knows just what we need to survive.

Five.



Zoey's THIRD birthday is Saturday and we are celebrating her all weekend!! Today, I'm keeping her home from school and we're going to have some mommy-daughter fun and she's getting her first haircut! Then, it's party time at Mickey Park with all of her friends. It's going to be a full weekend - I just hope it doesn't go too fast.

Have an amazing weekend! Linking up.



See ya next week!

Five on Friday - Where does the time go?!

Hi, hello there! Happy Friday! I really can't believe it's already Friday again. This week flew by and I'm happy to report that I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel for this school year. It's been a decent week and I'm looking forward to a fun weekend ahead!

One. 



As most of you know, I have become OBSESSED with Lipsense. I entered a little Mother's Day giveaway and WON! I seriously never win anything and this made my week. She included the matte gloss and I love it. If you'd like to check out Lipsense, and don't already know someone who sells it, let me know and I'll send you to my coworker.

Two.



I had such a wonderful Mother's Day! I love my babies so much and really enjoyed my day soaking up time with them. Luke tried his first bowl of cereal and gobbled it right up. He's already a pro and can't wait to eat veggies in a few weeks. Where does the time go? Zoey is always available to help feed him too - her method of shoving it in his mouth receives mixed reviews.



Three.



Speaking of time...this sassy girl turns THREE a week from tomorrow. I can't believe it. This girl is everything. She is working on potty training herself, is desperately trying to kick that mid-day nap, speaks in full and complete sentences, and is such a caring, loving, imaginative, and energetic doll. I can't imagine life without her! We are so excited to celebrate her next weekend and throw her first party where HER friends are invited too.



Four.



This guy rolled over from back to front just yesterday and is really just a few weeks away from sitting on his own. Again...WHERE does the time go? 

Luke smiles with his WHOLE face. He is about to turn FIVE months at the end of May. I can't believe it.



Five.



We are going on a date night this weekend!!! It's been well over a month since our last date night and we NEED this like, wow. Looking forward to dinner and a movie while Chris's parents put our kids to bed. <3 <3

I hope y'all have a magnificent weekend!!

See ya next week.

Five on Friday - TGIF!

"You there! Friday! You sexy son of b! I've been waiting for you since Monday!" It was a very tough week of state testing and a Friday from you know where, but there are 13 days left this year and a light at the end of the tunnel. I always get very hopeful this time of year, that I can start all over next year and do things better - its the silver lining. Here are my five for this week!

One.

We had a great weekend! Zoey attended her first school friend birthday party and had a BLAST. We've invited all of her school friends to her birthday party in a few weeks too. I love that she immediately mounted the highest balance beam and the word confidence is behind her. 

Zoey fished for the first time ever, we enjoyed Mexican food on Seis de Mayo, and general family snuggles. 

We also threw a little family engagement party for Mark and his fiance, Talia. So excited for Chris's baby brother!

Two.

I got my 23 and me results back! Not shocking information for me, although I did find out that I carry a marker for hereditary deafness. Very interesting stuff.

Three. 

I haven't been able to host my LLR party yet due to all of the stuff going on lately, but I did attend a coworkers online party. I won a free pair of leggings and bought the greatest dress! I am skeptical of the leggings, but a huge fan of the dresses and tops.

 

Four.

My very thoughtful husband surprised me with flowers one evening when I got home from work! 

and my coworker is feeding my sticker addiction. She gets me. 

Although it was still a frustrating and hard week, there were so many positive aspects. It's hard to be down about any of it.

Five.

It was such a beautiful evening outside. I'm so glad Zoey dragged us out back for some play time. Luke was so intently watching Zoey and giggling at her swinging that I decided to take him for a swing. He. LOVED. it. I love my children so much. 

I also really love wine. and ice cream.

I am enjoying a glass (or two) and Chris is playing on the switch, which we may or may not have purchased last weekend. It's a good Friday.

Linking up! 

Have a fantastic weekend and a very happy Mother's day!! See y'all next week!

Five on Friday - Choosing Joy

Good Friday, friends! I've had another roller coaster week professionally that ended on a pretty low point. Despite all that, I'm going to choose joy - at least for this weekend. 

Here are my five:

One.



Teacher appreciation week was this week and today I enjoyed this yummy breakfast burrito. This week, I also got to see a few of my former students who are Freshman in high school and graduating SENIORS. That just warmed my heart to the core. 

Two.

 

The swimsuits I ordered from Cupshe came in and I'm very pleased!! Great quality and the fit is pretty good. 2 suits for under $50 shipped, yes please!

Three.



My mom and step-dad flew into Dallas and I snapped this UNICORN smile pic when they stopped by to see the kids - too perfect!

Four.

 

Mornings may be rough...I have a post coming soon on that, but the sweetness in my children cannot be contained. Angel babies.

Five.



Zoey and I have finely tuned our Pandora station "Doc McStuffins" and we listen to it on the way to school each morning. When I get back in the car after drop-off, I usually change it to one of my own stations, but earlier this week, this song from Elena of Avalor came on and I just had to rock out to it. Then this song from Sofia the First came on and I had to rock out to that too (it's motivational) and then Taylor Swift's Ours came on...Doc McStuffins radio people.

So here is to choosing joy this weekend.

Have a great weekend, friends! Enjoy a Margarita for me on this Cinco de Mayo. #breastfeedingproblems

See you next week!
