It’s FRIDAY!

What a GREAT week we have had!

Even though it started out like this Monday morning.

What you cannot see in that photo that Addie Mae took, is the physics lesson we had on how many directions and how far spaghetti sauce can fly when the lid pops off when it is dropped.

Good grief, it was everywhere!

This week has allowed a lot of healing!

Everyone’s coughs are almost gone!

As I washed my hands for the millionth time this morning, it made me thankful for this soap that I love.

We have used Dr. Bronner’s soaps for years and years and years.

Lavender is my favorite!

We put just a smidge of the liquid soap in our pump dispensers, and fill it the rest of the way with filtered water.

It still has plenty of bubbles and cleaning power watered down!

And no harsh chemicals!!

I sent my good camera away a couple of weeks ago to the camera hospital and it just came back this week all healed up!

It was fun to use it again to take these photos now that it works and all!

We use the bar soap in our showers, and my boys even wash their hair with it.

In other cleaning news, even though I have mentioned it before, this Thieves Cleaner from Young Living is my favorite all purpose cleaner.

It works so well and smells so good!

It does not have any harmful chemicals in it either, which is important to us!

I read this book to the kiddos this week during morning snack time.

Please tell me there are other Mama’s out there that cry while reading to their kiddos?

This book makes me tear up every time!

I have read it aloud SO many times over the years!

I had a few questions about which apps we purchased and downloaded to our tablets.

The kids have enjoyed them all so far.

Our favorites for Tate and Eliza are The Kids Bible Stories, Monkey Words, and Monkey Math.

The piano keyboard is OK, but it does not do much, so it does not keep their attention.

Our favorites for Chad and Lane are Stack the States, and BC Playground.

I am sure you all know what Friday means for me and my crew!

My grocery crew are KEEPERS.

They also eat.

ALOT.

But they brought me home a new coffee to try!

And they spotted these new Lara Bars and brought them home to try too!

Keepers, I tell you.

Keepers!

They know their Mama would choose chocolate and mint over ANY other treat!

We tasted these after lunch – so they are GONE.

I think I will grab some more on date night tonight!

Do you all have a fun weekend planned?!

We DO! Lord Willing, of course!

We have a certain someone who is going to be NINE years old on Sunday!

I know, I know.

He was just FIVE.

Time has a way of messing with you like that.

I can’t wait to enjoy blessing this precious boy and also enjoy the fellowship and good food that birthday parties bring with them!

I also can’t wait for date night!

Cause my hubby and I aren’t in Florida anymore!

I am ready for some one-on-one time with my favorite guy!

Hope you all are having a great Friday too!

Happy weekend, everyone!!
