Friday's are when I link up with Susanne at Living to Tell the Story for Friday's Fave Five. It's a quick recap of the past week, and it's also my gratitude list. I love reflecting on life's blessings. Whether things are going well, or not so well, there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for!
Without further adieu, my fave five:
- I promised the boys I'd put this one first.. School's Out for Summer! (Now I'll have Alice Cooper and the Muppets in my brain for hours, but that's okay. I love the Muppets!) School runs from September until now in this part of the world. We follow the district calendar (officially) Summer is very loosely structured "fun" learning.
- As I was putting together the second semester portfolios, I was like, "Wow! they really learned a lot this year!!" I hope I remember this next year when I feel like I'm not doing enough! (Why do I always do that to myself?)
- Monday was the end of the school year, but it was also the beginning of a new cruise with The Old Schoolhouse Magazine Review Crew. I'm "meeting" a lot of great new people and some wonderful new blogs.
- I dragged the boys around with me today. Everywhere. I usually try to stick to a three stop maximum with them. They can only do so many transitions before they short circuit. Today started with Mass, then a doctor's appointment, then I had to have an X-Ray, then I went Back to the doctor, then to have some testing done, then the library, and finally to my mother's house. We started at 9:15 AM and finished at 8 PM. We were home for two short breaks, so that helped, but wow! They were fantastic! I was so impressed. They even managed to have two very polite and appropriate conversations with adults in waiting areas!
- Father's Day still is a little bit rough on my spirit, but my husband is a good father, and it was nice to celebrate that.
I wish you all a week full of blessings!
