Friday Favorites - Feelings Edition

Happy Friday! Here are some of my favorite moments from this week.

Some of my favorite moments this week I shared yesterday. Two extra sweet things happened this week and my mommy heart is swelling!
On our nature walk I stopped to take some pictures. Normally I get complaints and I have to plead to just take one picture. This time though my big guy asked me if I would just take a picture of him and me and then gave me the biggest hug. He was hot and sweaty but I won't complain! I'll take as many hugs as he'll give me!!
While we were at the zoo this week I saw my boys holding hands - all on their own! I often ask them to hold hands while we are out and about for safety but this moment was because they wanted to.
My heart melts.

Another favorite this of mine this week is the Pope's visit to the US.

While I am not catholic my grandmother was.  I just picture her sitting on her couch watching the news coverage of his visit. She also spent her career working in D.C. so the fact that the Pope visited D.C. just makes me think she would have been even more interested. So I've watched all the buzz this week on the news thinking of her. Miss her so much.



My most favorite thing this week happened last night. My biggest guy is not very affectionate. He never has been. He just doesn't love people in his personal space. Last night as I was putting him to bed he asked if I would lay with him. Sure buddy!! I soaked in every. single. minute.

Have a great weekend!!!

It's Fri-YAY! Here a few favorite things from our week. 

We had a very successful first day of school! I was really dreading it - the unknown. How would it be for him? Would he be scared or sad? Would little brothers be ok with him "missing"? But everything is going great for everyone and I'm so happy about it! I really wanted school to be something positive for L and it's seems like it will be exactly that! 

Already made a new friend :)

My most favorite thing - we've started the -ber months!!! My most favorite time of the year! Everything about September 1 - the new year is wonderful. I'm so glad we're here again!

 

I was able to capture on of my favorite moments this week. 

Look at all three of my boys playing together. All. the. feels. My heart is mush ;)

I've read Erica and Andrea's blogs for awhile. Now that I have a blog of my own I'm going to link up with their Friday favorites!

This week started with a trip to the splash pad. It's been super duper hot here so this fun morning was just what we needed! I think the boys would say this is a favorite!

I've been working on first day of school crafts and projects. One of the things I've been working on is for L's teacher's beginning of the year gift. It will include these cookies. They are a favorite around here!

Monster Cookies

Later in the week R got an ear infection. NOT a favorite for sure but slowing down and spending down time with my boys is always a favorite!

Happy Friday!
