Friday Felicities :: August 14

Photobucket

Things that are making me happy this week ...
  • the county fair
  • the flexibility of homeschooling
  • my diet coke :)
  • blog posts that may not seem out of the ordinary to some, but totally encourage me
  • Friday night pizza and movie nights ... I know I say this every week but it is so simple and we ALL look forward to just hanging together. Tonight's feature film presentation: Mary Poppins! (Sometimes I feel sorry for T with all these girls. :) Last week, we let him pick and watch what the girls call "the Daddy movie" ... points to anyone that can guess what Disney flick that might be!)
  • notes that N1 leaves me everywhere .... they usually say something like "Mom I love you and I lick [like] you and your pretty" and "when can we go to the zoo?"
  • gmail chats with the niece
  • a God that is there and present and knows my frustrations ... helping me along sometimes when I don't even know why I am frustrated
  • videos my husband makes of our girls ... this is a music video he put together of our night at the fair. Enjoy and enjoy your Friday!

    Hmmm. . . I'll guess "Cars" as the daddy movie.

    Thanks for sharing all this--it encouraged me, too.

    Have a great weekend!

    Happy Weekend!

  8. We do Little Caesar's pizza and a movie nearly every Friday night. I don't love to cook, and by Friday, everyone is worn down. We look forward to it too. Mary Poppins is a great flick. Have to say, as the children have grown (11 and 13), it's nice to break out of the animated films for a bit. Those old Disney movies, like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, MP, and Swiss Family Robinson are fun.
