An end to another week. I'm actually pretty excited about next week starting. I enjoy the holiday season so much. I'm excited to spend Thanksgiving with family and kick off the Christmas season. And, to be honest, I'm pretty excited about Black Friday Shopping. Last year I headed out at 8pm and got home sometime around 8 am. But I loved every minute of it. I love shopping. And I think it's a great opportunity to #1 save some money on Christmas shopping, but #2 Be a good Christlike example in a situation where we hear so much about fighting and arguing and so on. I saw this pin on pinterest and I had to chuckle... Let it be known that I've never trampled anyone for a sale! Pinned here. Well, onto the Top 5 for this week... 1. Number 1 has to be Emmy's Thanksgiving program. She did such a good job singing and I was super impressed with her teacher being able to get her to actually put face paint and a feathered headband on! 2. My living room is painted! I love it. It's such a nice change. It really does feel like a totally different space. 3. Last night the girls and I made biscuit pizzas for dinner. It wasn't on the menu until today, but it just sounded good last night. I realized as I was pulling all the ingredients out of the fridge that I had very little mozzarella cheese. Oh well, we used cheddar and american instead and they were still great. 4. Due to the pink eye that's been making it's way through our house, I've been able to spend lots of time at home with the girls this week. Emmy didn't go to school on Tuesday so we've had 3 whole days of hangout time. It is safe to say that I no longer have a baby. Macie is now fully toddler and she surprises me every day with her growing awareness. I've convinced she's known how to talk for a long time, she just decided not to until about a month ago. And Emmy's imagination is so active she cracks me up. My girls are definitely the best 2 daily companions. It makes me sad to think that some day very soon I won't have this time with them.
5. This one is going to be somewhat abstract... but I'm thankful for change. Even if it's hard. It's a continual reminder that I'm alive and God has given me another day. The last few weeks have been difficult, but God is faithful. And I know that in a perfect world situations and circumstances could be changed with the snap of a finger. But, if that were the case every time, we'd never learn things about God, ourselves, and each other. Have a good weekend!
