Weekend Highlights

November is here and I am sick again!!!
This virus has decided to camp out in my upper chest/ lungs.
Has anyone ever heard of black elderberry as an immune booster?
Gummies are so much cheaper but I wonder if they are effective!?!
At this point, I would TRY dog doo.  

I'm so sick of being sick 
but this weekend,



we didn't let much get us down!
There is always time for friends, play, and laughter.




This weekend, 
Connor was showing Darren a wrestling move called the "surfboard" (even though his dad still towers over him).



Hilarious.   

Say a prayer for my little wrestler.  
I know this is such a MOM thing, but I worry about his safety during wrestling season.  I don't even know why people like this sport so much.  


I had a little morning/ girl time with my peanut!



This. Girl.  
She has been begging me to let me dye her hair.  
We have tried some temporary sprays and powers, but I am really trying to get her to stay away from permanent, chemical enhancement of any kind.

This weekend, this child walks out of her room with red tips!! 
fashionista

It took me a while to get it out of her BUT this little stinker took a RED SHARPIE to her head!!!
She colored her entire mid length.



Can you believe it looks so good!?
I don't know where she got the idea or how it worked but 
GOOD-NESS.  I'm expecting her to walk out of her room with a shaved head any day now.  #helpmeJesus
How I'm going to harness this little Fashionista??  She will certainly have an Innovative Beauty Shop one day.

Another weekend highlight was my Birthday Lunch.
Last year was such a HUGE celebration,

this year was more intimate.
This was so nice for me since I was both tired and recovering.  



Happy #41.



We always have a good time.  
Always





Ms. C. had the best idea- personal pan pizzas paired with salad & wine.  
It  was sooooooo good that I bought the ingredients for the kids after church (minus the wine of course).





We had a great time just laughing and talking by the fire.
I miss my friends.
Life is all about managing work, family, and kids.
It was so nice to take a few minutes.
It makes me appreciate family time MORE.

  









A lovely meal and truly the most thoughtful gifts.
I am not deserving.



So now of course the Fun Girls have to throw BIRDS into my presents (because I detest bird watching).
I even put one in my house, 
and it makes me laugh every time I look at it.


Today was back to reality with a little prednisone/ Dr Pepper Combo.
Makes me totally insane but I tackle a list like the Tazmanian Devil.


School projects, homework, and lesson planning complete.


House and Kitchen Cleaned 


Living Room Vacuumed


Grocery Shopping/  Meal Prep for the Week 
(I REFUSE TO LET THE HOLIDAYS MAKE ME MORE UNHEALTHY)





4 Loads of Laundry washed & folded


Outfits Planned for the Week


Race On 
(anyone else's son obsessed with racing?)




Put out my birthday candles (a gift), 
don't they look awesome?

Darren and the Kids took down the falling net on the Trampoline-
another prayer that no one breaks their neck without the net.



And NOW the Grand Finale-
45 Best Christmas Movies ON Netflix

I've watched 3.
Although right now BET network is showing all Tyler Perry Movies and who does not LOVE Diary of a Mad Black Woman and anything Madea!! 
I might stick with Madea to carry me through Monday morning-
