Five Things Friday

5 Things That Have Made Me Smile In the Last Week

1. You may have noticed that I've been sort of M.I.A this past week. We spent this past weekend up in Maine visiting my in-laws. Since we've been home, I've been out everyday with the Madore-ables. We also got to spend some time with my nieces and nephews (not to mention seeing my newest niece, Clara). We also had a special treat. My sister in law was house sitting for her boyfriend who was away on business all last week, so we decided to keep her company for the night...in his gorgeous house with lots of windows on Orr's Island just about a hundred feet from the shore line. Let me just say that the views were simply gorgeous.
2. We finally found a good deal on a twin sized mattress for Miss Samantha. So as of next week, we'll be purchasing said mattress and getting Sam into her first big girl bed. HOORAY!
3. We just found out this past Tuesday at Sarah's Occupational Therapy appointment that Sarah may not need Early Intervention anymore because she has progressed SO MUCH!! Sarah has an assessment every 6 months to just see how much Sarah has progressed, and Sarah's assessment is next Tuesday morning so we'll find out more information then. The only thing that makes me sad about this is Sarah may not be in the very cool Monday morning playgroup that we've been so crazy about the last couple of months. However, Sarah's OT said that if we enjoy it so much, we may be able to stay in it, but may have to be placed on a waiting list. Either way, we're so excited!!!
4. Sarah has added a new word to her repertoire of vocabulary: Desitin. Yes, Desitin. I'm not exactly sure what to say after this.
5. My walking team, Charlie's Angels for the AWBC had very successful fundraisers last weekend. Our "Cookies For The Cure" event last Friday brought in over $700.00 and our "Oktoberfest" event last Saturday brought in over $1500.00. All the proceeds from the fundraisers will go towards the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and Cancer research in the Boston/New England area. WOO HOO!
