TGIF

So, this is the way the week has been going and the way my Friday started out...Rowan was up at 6:15 for the day.  Had a MASSIVE explosive diaper at 6:45--all over the carpet, me and her.  I mean it was in her armpits.  OMG  While I took her up for a bath, I forgot I had been heating the breastmilk on the stove for her cereal.  Yep, as you see from above, I nearly burned our house down.  Downstairs was FILLED with smoke and it still stinks.  It was very close to starting a fire, so I am just glad I remembered when I did.  THANK GOD my housekeeper comes this morning.  This place is a DISASTER area!

Anyway, on a lighter note, IT IS FRIDAY!  My favorite day of the week.  Liam and I have really been struggling with behaviors outside of the house this week.  Like throwing himself down at the park, throwing woodchips at other kids, taking EVERY toy from Rowan, screaming and whining, just to name a few.  So, to end this week with happy thoughts, here are some of my FAVES for FRIDAY...only have time for 5 this week.  ;)

1.  Kisses and hugs from my kids.  Rowan has been leaning in with her slobbery mouth and cuddling up on my shoulder ALL OF THE TIME.  I.LOVE.IT!  Liam is the sweetest with his kisses and hugs.  He just wraps those little arms around me and I melt.

2.  The festival outing we have planned for tomorrow.  Can't wait.

3.  I met a new friend randomly at Tuesday morning this past week, where we both just needed to get out of the house because kids were nuts.  Got into a stroller traffic jam and talked for an hour.  She has twins, just moved here 2 weeks ago, and is just super sweet.  They are going to follow us to the festival tomorrow since they do not know there way around too well.  Always love meeting new people!

4.  I conquered 3.5 miles this week and felt GREAT!  Really looking forward to the race next Saturday.

5.  I am babysitting tonight for Vicki and am really looking forward to some alone time to finish my book club book.  (and 5.5 would be that book club is on Tuesday...I missed last month and can't wait to see the group and chat!)

HAPPY FRIDAY!
