friday's musings...

things i am loving about this week:

1. sleeping through the night with only one night time visitor...ahhh sweet slumber.
2. saving money by cutting satellite.
3. halloween costumes.
4. halloween candy.
5. holding hands with oliver jack.
6. watching finley hold out her little hand to hold hands with one of her siblings.
7. finley finally learned how to push herself on the little trike outside.
8. calvary pushing finley in the cozy coupe.
9. harper's sense of pride as she was entrusted with helping a new child with special needs in her class get to and from the cafeteria and to and from her special education class.
10. the sense of pride i felt in knowing that she has learned to appreciate and love people from many different backgrounds and feeling as if we, her family, has been partly responsible in fostering that heart.
11. calvary riding a school bus for the first time for a field trip--his excitement was contagious.
12. calvary trick-or-treating by saying, "the big bad wolf wants some candy!".
13. having coffee with a friend and realizing that i rarely get out.
14. play dates with kids and moms that i enjoy :)
15. oliver jack getting in the creek at the park and consequently getting himself covered in mud so that we have to strip him down to his skivvies to leave...oh the looks i get while i am out anyway coupled with this makes me one phenomenal spectacle.
16. kyle surprising me with candy and diet dr. pepper on his way home from work.
