1. Getting to be Room Mom. Yesterday I got a call from Mrs. Lindsy, Audrey's lead teacher, asking if I could bring a pizza in for lunch and help out with their "Letter P" party. It was last minute, but without hesitating, I agreed. I called David and told him Luke would be left unattended beginning at 11:30 in case he wanted to come home during his lunch and watch him. I knew I wouldn't be much help with him in tow and there was NO WAY I was going to miss the opportunity to see Audrey in class and meet all her little friends that I've heard about for 6 weeks. It was so fun! She is as quiet as I thought she would be, but I can tell she really likes it. Her teachers are wonderful with them, the kids are adorable (okay, most of them), and I can't wait to go back in!
2. Girls' Nights Out. I probably haven't gone out with a friend by myself in nearly 9 or 10 months, but last week I did a painting party with some of my Bible Study girls and tonight I went out to dinner with a sweet friend. I'm not sure how the stars aligned for that to happen back-to-back weeks, but I'll take it! It was much-needed and thoroughly enjoyed!
3. Early Christmas shopping. Oh yeah, I've started it. If you've known me more than five minutes, this does not come as a surprise! I always try to get a jump on it, but I figured that if we really are going to be moving near the week of Thanksgiving (the latest, latest, latest closing date is around 11/19), I'd better have most of it done by then since I'll be a bit preoccupied after!
4. Luke's jibber-jabbering. He's gotten quite talkative lately and one of his favorites is "Ma-ma". Of course he doesn't know what it means yet, but it is music to my ears.
5. Being sore. Okay, I don't particularly like being sore. But I am thankful that I have the physical ability to work out. I did so this week with weights for the first time in...well, let's not worry about that. The point is I did it. And boy did it hurt the next day (and the day after that, too). But a good hurt. A "I-see-my-smallest-jeans-finally-within-reach" kinda hurt.
We're pumpkin patchin' it this weekend and are so excited! Love this time of year and love spending it doing fun things with my family!
