Friday Favorites

Hey friends. We made it to Friday. It has been a long week and is going to be a long weekend. This week has been Ella's full drama practice every night from 6 to 830, but she has to be ready at 6. We start with hair at 4, dress about 445, eat a quick dinner, then drop her off at school at 515 for someone else to do her make-up (part of the crew). It has been a long week. She has three performances over the weekend that she has to get ready at the school, but hair at home. It is a lot. Think of prom how long it took you to get ready, but we have been doing this everyday. I am so excited for Monday to relax (hopefully).

Time for some Friday Favorites with these lovely ladies: Erika, and Andrea.

~ ONE ~

Anna started swim lessons. It is only once a week for 30 minutes on Saturday mornings. Her first lesson went awesome, as she isn't afraid of the water, getting her face wet, laying back, and jumping in.

~ TWO ~

We have swapped out the games we have been playing. They are loving jenga, I am not a fan of this version it is very wobbly.

~ THREE ~

It may have been bribery but these two played outside for a while including jumping on our trampoline.

~ FOUR ~

This is the first year I am really enjoying our quiet times with the fire. Curling up with a book and relaxing.

~ FIVE ~

Last pile of leaves for the season is the biggest.

~ SIX ~

Anna and Austin have been drawing and coloring a lot.

~ SEVEN ~

Coffee before school. Yes she has a little bit of black coffee and only drank a few sips. I love that she is trying to be like mom and bringing her coffee upstairs while getting dressed.

~ EIGHT ~

The Christmas list making has started.

~ NINE ~

Cold rainy morning. Anna wanted her double hood up. She called the pom poms on her hat, Alien balls. I have no idea where that came from but its cute.

~ TEN ~

Back to drawing. Austin turned on "How to Draw a Firetruck" on youtube. This is what Anna drew. (look at Austin's below) She did really good when you see her vision.
