So…I’ve decided to start a new thing on Fridays. Hopefully I’ll be somewhat consistent with it. As you can see from the above button and title, I’m calling it “5 on Friday” and it’s really just an excuse to talk/write randomly about life stuff that I’d like to share.
1. Today is the last day of the Month of Challenges at The Lilypad. I just have today’s layout to complete and I am complete on my challenge layouts for the month. Thirty-one layouts in one month with many of them being quite challenging is an accomplishment that I am so very proud of! I’m planning to have a gallery up tomorrow of all the layouts that I’ve completed this month…come back to check it out!
2. Rainbow Loom….are your kids into these? I gave my girls a set before Christmas and they love them! They’ve only done the basic bracelets, though. So far, we’ve avoided the more complicated designs you can find on You Tube. We had a playdate with some friends on Wednesday and their friend made some “fancier” bracelets for them. She also made one for Will, but he refused to wear it. The girls’ friend told them they should just put his bracelet on him while he’s sleeping. So, Wednesday night my husband and I were laying in bed getting ready to go to sleep when he heard some noises (I was oblivious) and decided to check out what was going on. He discovered MC in Will’s bed (he sleeps on the top bunk) trying to find his arm to slip a bracelet on him. Will was snoring away and MC was CAUGHT red handed! Keith said, “what are you doing!?” and MC just responded with, “Sorry!” and went back to bed after explaining what she was trying to do. We’ve been laughing about this ever since.
3. I’ve been inspired by Elise Blaha to snap an instagram of my #mornings. I love mornings and the peaceful time between waking up and my little ones waking up. It’s also fun to see how pictures of one time of the day can be so different. It’s also a challenge to be creative in capturing a photo in this way. I’m using the hashtag #mornings (original, huh?) and I’d love to have you join me!
4. The weather was absolutely beautiful here yesterday! We went “scootering” while Keith was doing an afternoon run. It’s always been a challenge for us to find a place where the kids can ride bikes and scooters (we live on a hill) and it was so nice for them to have this chance! We’re going out again tomorrow morning while Keith does a 20 mile run…yikes! He’s training for a marathon and we’re going to be available to hand him some water along his route.
Also, I captured this photo of Will yesterday as he was taking a little break from scootering. I’m kind of in love with it! I love capturing candid photos of my family rather than posed pictures and this one is a favorite right now.
5. I finished reading The Fault in Our Stars and while I didn’t have the emotional response to it that I thought I would, I did enjoy it. If you can say that you enjoyed a book about two teenagers struggling through cancer and facing death. I am looking forward to the movie that will be coming out in June.
That’s my five for today…I’d love to hear some of what’s going on in your world right now.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
