Five on Friday

Five random favorite things from the past week…

We’ve been getting out, having fun, and enjoying our warmer weather!

{ONE}  First stop for the week was the library for story time.  We don’t go often so I thought it would be fun and the kids loved it.  I had plans to take them again today, but we have even more fun planned for today.  Bowling!  It will be a first, so hopefully it will go well and we’ll do it again.

{TWO}  This tent has been a life saver.  These two don’t always play so nice together (obviously, right?!), but this tent?  It has brought these two to be best buddies.  They stuff it full of all their animals and friends and have tea parties.  Whatever keeps them from fighting!  I found it on clearance at Target for $12 last week and it’s been a great investment.

 

{THREE}  We headed to a new park this week.  New for us anyways.  It has a HUGE (tall) play-set and then a smaller one off to the side.  Xander climbed to the top of the huge one, but wouldn’t go down.  It was too scary.  Then he was too scared to climb down backwards on the open ladders, so I found myself climbing up to rescue him.  I should have just taken him down the big loopy slide.  They moved over to the smaller play-set and Xander loved it.  Sterling stood at the bottom and said “it’s too high, mommy.”  Xander told her she could sit on his lap, but she still didn’t want to make the hike up the ladder.

 

{FOUR}  We’ve been getting our craft on.  I vowed to do more crafts this year since it takes me to my happy place, so we’re working on valentines crafts and I’m so excited for the end products.  Thanks to Pinterest, there are a lot of cute and fun ideas.  I love working on canvas and the kids love painting, so this craft was a win.  I’m hoping to finish the projects today or tomorrow.

{FIVE}  Playing outside.  Living in the midwest, you don’t usually get the opportunity to be outside longer than 10 minutes in the dead of winter.  We’ve been pretty lucky lately and have spent almost every day out.  I did ask the open skies this morning when it was going to snow again.  We’ll see and then I’ll wish for it to go away, ha!
