the friday high five

1. Jared and I went to an Awards Assembly this afternoon for Jakie.  I always feel so proud when my little guy's name is announced.  So proud of him ♥
2. Speaking of being proud...Michael is kicking butt in school right now.  Not one missing assignment or tardy the entire month of November!  Now that, is progress.  You go boy :)
3. I love walking through the door and smelling our fresh Christmas tree.  I wonder how long we'll keep getting a "real tree".  I know eventually we'll get an artificial one.  Even though I always said we never would.  Getting our Christmas tree every year was always my favorite family tradition growing up. 
4. We got home from practice about forty-five minutes ago and I think my feet are still semi-frozen.  It. was. freezing!  But, I still wouldn't miss it.  *Love* watching Jakie play. 
5. Michael's 17th birthday is tomorrow!

the friday high five

1.  Jacob got to wear his costume to school today.  That means, Jared got to wear his costume too.  That means, I had two insanely giddy boys bouncing around all morning :)

The Flash & Batman

2.  Jared willingly left Jacob's school when the Costume Parade was over.  Then, he willingly took off his costume to get in his car seat because, "I all thweddy Mommy, touch my chubs, them's wet."  Uh, no thanks Bud.
3.  We had lunch on Costco.  Samples are great.

4.  Jared gave out about 345,564 high fives during Jakie's class party.  He was the center of attention.  As usual.  But this time, Jakie got to show him off to his friends.  He was a proud big brother today.  I was a proud Mommy.  As I am everyday.

5.  Beautiful sunset on our way to Chipotle for dinner.   

HAPPY FRIDAY!

the friday high five

1.  Jason, Jared, and I went out to breakfast after we dropped Jakie off at school.  A kind Police Officer was seated near us and Jared was mesmerized by him.  He was kind enough to get up from his seat and give Jared a sticker.  I so very much love kind people :)

  

2.  We went to Target after breakfast.  Jared's favorite. 



3.  We picked Michael up from school and he was in a good mood.  AGAIN.  High five to that, for sure!

4.  Jason went to watch the high school football game with Michael.  He texted me and said he hadn't seen much of Michael while they were there.  Guess he turned into a social butterfly.

5.  Came across this quote today:  "Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother. -Lin Yutang  Amen to that.
