Five on Friday

Oh Friday!  I am always so happy when you come around!  I am linking up with some fabulous ladies at hello! Happiness, the good life,  A. Liz Adventures, Carolina Charm, and  to share my top five today.
 

One - Girls Day 

I am driving with my mom tomorrow to Tulsa, to meet my sister Kristen.  We have great plans to eat at the Cheesecake Factory (yum, yum, yum!) and shop for maternity clothes for Kristen.  This is something we have been able to do together with all of the girls in my family when they are pregnant for the first time.  It is so special to share in the excitement!  We will greatly miss my other sister, but are hoping to make up for it in April with another visit.

Two - The Bachelor is over 

I made Zach suffer through most of it with me, mostly because his comments make it so much funnier.  Everyone on that show is so dramatic, I have to admit we laughed when he said he was glad he didn't pick Clare after she freaked out at the rose ceremony.  Most of the time he ended up being a jerk but those girls were crazy so maybe it evens out?  My favorite part of each week was reading the recap's on Shay's blog at Pinterest Told Me To.  If you watched the bachelor this season, you HAVE to go read them.  Hilarious.

Three - The Sun Returns!

This week has finally brought the sun returning to Kansas!  Those clouds, freezing temperatures, and snow can get so depressing.  And having a toddler boy who can't go outside might drive anyone up the wall!  We have been taking full advantage of the longer days and playing outside after we get home from work.  We played "hide and seek" with a ball in the back yard the other night, and Lyle could hardly contain himself while Zach looked for the ball.  He would last about three seconds, then go screaming and pointing to where he hid it.  I was dying laughing by the time we went inside.

Four - Superhero Obsessed

Zach has been teaching Lyle all of the superheroes lately.  They've been watching cartoons on AppleTV (they have tons of old ones!).  He will say "Nanana, Batman!" and "Hulk! Smash!"  This has made him quite picky in the morning, as he wants to pick out exactly which character is on his underwear and his shirt.  If he is doing this before he is two, I'm guessing my veto power won't last much longer!

Five - A Reminder

Speaking of superheroes, I am reminded of this quote.  Not every chore can get done every day or every week.  And other people usually care a lot less than you do yourself.  But what I NEED to make time for is reading my bible, praying for my family, stopping to teach my son, and focusing on relationships.
