Happy Friday, friends! It's my favorite day/blog post of the week, and it's my Friday as I write this. I'm taking the day off from work to help Marilyn out with some final things at her old house and then set up again at her new place. I am so glad I did this! I also had a couple of appointments this morning, so it's a productive day. I have loads of favorites from this week, so I'll jump right in!
It's always a favorite when one of my sons is at church with me! This is Graham on the right, laughing and talking to my friend/worship pastor Joshua; I love their banter and that Joshua told Graham that he smelled handsome that day. 🤣 What?!
I had lunch with Graham, Mom and Bill after church, then came home for a bit (and caught up with my three sons who live here) and changed to go to Marilyn's. Any time with Marilyn is my favorite; it was so cold this day! I will do anything for this dear friend. We did a few things at her house, then took some things to her parents' house, and finally ended with dinner and yogurt.
Frozen yogurt is another favorite! This was dark chocolate, white chocolate cheesecake, and peanut butter. It was so good!
I love both of these that Marilyn sent me! I have made my way through all the steps of the one titled The Stages of Letting Go, and I'm mostly through the one right above this one. Number nine doesn't really apply to me, though...but still. Aren't these great? I think this could be said for a lot of things.
Monday mornings are not Chloe's favorite.
I made my favorite soup for dinner on Monday night since it was so cold outside! This was the night that I realized how much I'd made, so I invited Kendra over for dinner. I'm glad she took me up on my offer!
These were my outfits from the week; do you have a favorite?
The Veteran's Day program and parade on Tuesday at school was my favorite! How sweet is this?
Celebrating Marilyn at the birthday dinner her friend Tuesday night was a favorite!
This kind of activity is my favorite thing to do with students; we read this passage and worked through the questions together. Do you know what PQA is? I made them do that with each question, which isn't their favorite, but oh well. It means, "put question in answer" and it assures that they write in complete sentences.
Dinner with this one Wednesday night was a favorite!
This was one of my favorite things from social media this week; how true is this? I can feel every bit of this statement.
It was a favorite getting to see the students perform a snippet of the play they're putting on this weekend, Suessical. They were amazing! I stood out in the hall with my two little first graders for fifteen minutes watching; they were mesmerized! So was I, for that matter.
I made my favorite little hot ham and cheese sliders for dinner last night for Jonah and me. My niece was going to come over with her family, but she didn't feel great and seems to be coming down with something. I was exhausted from the day, so it was easy for me to tell her to stay home and rest. I ate, showered, and then got comfy by six thirty.
I feel like it was a quick week and was filled with some great moments. Do you have a favorite from your week? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!
