Five on Friday - Settling in

Oh boy, am I glad it's Friday! Full weeks after a holiday are HARD. I think I'm settling into the SAHM routine with two though, now that it's almost time to go back to work. I say this all the time, but the days are LONG and the weeks aren't long enough. I'm getting sad that my time will be over with my babies soon. Here's a little recap of the week, courtesy of my five.

ONE.



We wrapped up swim lessons yesterday! Zoey did a great job. She still isn't super comfortable in the water, but she did start to look forward to going every morning. We plan to take her swimming as often as we can for the rest of the season and hopefully frequent the indoor pool this fall and winter to build her confidence. Isn't she adorable?



TWO.



My beach tote arrived last week from Lands' End and I love it!! It's huge and has so many pockets to organize all of our pool gear. I also love all things monogrammed, so this doesn't hurt. Bonus photo of my cutie girl.

THREE.



The choo-choo at the library has been a boredom buster for us this week! We've been twice and will probably head there again today. Pro-tip, go during nap time, we own that place from 1-3 because my kids don't nap.





FOUR.



Luke has mastered the sippy cup! What a big boy! He also fed himself a puff or two - next stop bananas!





Zoey and Luke are starting to play together and it makes my heart so happy! I never quite get the money shot photo because my heart is too busy bursting with love to take a photo. Inevitably, shortly after this, Zoey will love Luke to death and the moment will be over, but it's so great for the short time it happens.



Speaking of photos...Zoey found Chris's old point and shoot and took about 100 photos today. Some of them are good, but every time she took a photo, she'd look at it and laugh hysterically. I'll share some when I have time to go through them all. Kid photography, what a hoot.

FIVE.



I've started having those back to school nightmares that come this time every year. You know, the ones where your class is too full on the first day and you hadn't planned a lesson and were just going to "wing it"...no, just me? Well, I always find a million things I want to do differently and then I make about 2 of them happen. I'm hoping to pull off a more structured classroom with learning zones and a better PBIS system this year.



I also love this for a first day activity.



Nerding out. I do love my job.

BONUS.



As if you don't have enough of your friends selling SOMETHING on Facebook...I've joined the party and signed up to be a Lipsense distributor. I've been loving it since April when my coworker introduced me and should've taken the plunge long ago. I made a separate page for my Lipsense posts so I promise you won't see it on my personal page. Follow along if you're interested - I have a giveaway going right now! Pucker Up by Steph

Have an amazing weekend - may it feel like a long one. Linking up!




See y'all next week!
