Friday Favorites

My first favorite this week is my little buddy.  He turned 4 yesterday and is the best kid ever.  Okay, maybe not when he’s whining 534255 times a day, ha!  Seriously though, he’s my buddy and I love him.  He’s such a mama’s boy and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Another favorite this week is having caring people in this world still.  My little buddy started the week with strep throat, scarlet fever, a trip to urgent care, and the pharmacy.  While at the pharmacy two teenagers (boy and girl) saw how sick and miserable Xander was and was trying to be sweet to him.  It’s not every day you see teenagers with big and caring hearts.  Xander had no interest and just wanted to go home.  He was miserable!  As we were walking out, the teenage girl ran up to us and handed him a bag of lollipops.  I was not expecting that!  She said that she knows how he feels because when she was younger she always had strep throat until she had her adenoids taken out.  Thank you sweet girl for making his night!

 

My new planner arrived on the 1st.  It came about 3 weeks before I was expecting it because I’ve heard different stories about the companies shipping time so I had the planner started for May.  Now I wish I had it started for April.  I love it though!  It’s going to be an everyday favorite.  Maybe it’s good that it came a month early.  It gives me time to order all the fun stickers you find for planners and to get all the important dates input.  I’m excited and already input our first appointments in it…all the way in October!  I placed the order from Plum Paper on Etsy on Mar 22nd, added 6 extra months and to-do lists for each month.  It shipped quick, on the 27th!

The kids had dental checkups on Monday and did great.  Healthy teeth and gums are always a priority.  Next week they both have their yearly well baby visit.

 

Spending time with the little’s without having to rush out of the house in the mornings is always fun.  Today is their last day of spring break and we’ve had lot of lazy mornings, which is obviously the most favorite for the week.  They’ve actually been sleeping until around 7:30 most days (they usually naturally wake around 6), and we stay in pajamas until lunch!  It’s been nice and I’m going to miss it.  Although next week will be short for them as well since we’re heading up to Minneapolis for a few days.

For our last day on break, we will paint their yearly handprint for their canvas’ and then dye Easter eggs.  Fun, right?!  Let’s hope so.
