Friday Favorites!

Some FAVORITES from the week!

 Okay, starting off with my FAVORITE instagram post from the week... My girl Andrea had me cracking up with this picture of her little man... the hashtags were hilarious. Loved this and love you, Ange! 

 My next FAVORITE of the week is this kid, who dropped up his KINDERGARTEN registration packet! (well, we dropped it off only to realize we forgot to bring proof of residency and my driver's license is not sufficient enough proof.... #really?! so we had to go back on another visit...). 

 He is going to love kindergarten, I am sure.  He was very apprehensive when we were in the school.  Much more nervous than I was expecting.  His bravery is definitely a FAVORITE this week!

Speaking of nerves.... swim team started this week! These three started out the week beyond ready to get in the water.  By Thursday's practice, only one was in the water...the other was no where to be found and the last was crying on the side, wanting to get in, but only if he could hold a kickboard while his mother stood next to him telling him to get his behind in the water #guesswhichoneisandy

Another FAVORITE this week was having "muffins with moms" with Cal's class on Monday! I had the best time with my buddy.  The kids made each mom a card and a flower pot and we planted flowers in the pot together.  LOVED it!

My sweet furry kids are another FAVORITE this week.  Hankers is the sweetest, most patient dog ever.  Bruce is not.  Bruce is WILD and hyper and exhausting.  Having a puppy is NOT easy! But this moment, on mother's day, when they both snuggled up with me and we all took a little snooze was definitely a FAVORITE of the week.  

They can be EXHAUSTING, but they are so sweet and I can't imagine life without these two love bugs.

I mentioned before a long distance book club with my sweet friends from Aruba... we had our first "discussion" this week!!! We did a 3 way call and talked for over an hour! I took this picture randomly during the phone call, but I took another at the end and we went well over an hour.  

We talked about Saving Grace and Girl on the Train.  I reallllly liked both books and I loved talking about them with these great friends! They are two of my FAVORITES and having his book club is an excuse to actually talk on the phone and catch up too! It bonds us, even though we all live in different states.

The next book we are reading is The Dinner.  I am excited about the book and even more excited about chatting with these too again! If you have any book suggestions, leave them for me! We are keeping a running list of books to read.

So, the school year is almost over, and I have to say, my sweet little mouse class has become one of my FAVORITES.  I love this class! On Thursday, we had camping day.  We set up a tent and the kids made little lanterns and we "camped" out.  After a story, they all laid down and pretended to sleep.  They have become a FAVORITE part of my week and I can't believe I only have ONE more class with these sweet peas.  

 Cal brought this gift home this week:

 It was taken at Muffins with Mom and he made the frame.  I don't care of the picture of me (#couldilookanymorebloated?!) but when he handed it to me, he said "I really wanted to put 'I love my mom' on there, but my teacher said we didn't have enough letters. So maybe you can just pretend it says that too, okay?" And I never want to forget that.  So, this awful picture of me (it's precious of Cal), which has a magnet attached to the back, will live on my refrigerator.

A whooooole bunch of random FAVORITES for the week! Bring on the weekend!
