Fridays

It is Friday evening. The end of a long week for us. My kids and hubby are watching Cars 2 and eating popcorn and I am going to finish up a bit of work before I join them.

We have accomplished a lot this week. Noah and I sat down and he wrote a story for me:

And if course it was about a Hot Wheel named Noah:

He is really proud of his little book and reads it to us. I am helping him think about forming stories and such and he is working on spelling.

And then little Olivia was working on eating some veggie "fries" today:

She would eat the whole bag if I let her; as a compromise, I let her settle by pulling the veggie fries out of the bag.

Noah is settling into his martial arts classes every week. It is nice to see him do something he enjoys.

I am also done fiddling with my Thankful album cover:

I added some different elements to the front:

Here are the inside pages:

I am really grateful for taking a couple of minutes every day to create a little page about what I am thankful for. I am finding that I am not sweating as much the small stuff. So what if my home isn't picture perfect? So what if I have 4 loads of laundry left to wash and fold? NBD (no big deal) - what I tell Noah when he gets worked up over a small thing related to school or writing. I am learning to apply the NBD principles to my every day. The small stuff stays small when I remember to be grateful.

And finally here is a quick peek at a wreath I finished up the other day - will save the rest of the photos for another post:

A couple more things to do - we have a FABULOUS mid-release headed up early next week to Retailers so have to wrap all that up tonight!
