Five Things Friday

5 Things That Have Made Me Smile In the Last Week

1. Sarah continues to try expand her vocabulary. Her new project this week? Saying her numbers. She already can identify "M", "S" and "F" but now she can identify the number "3" and the number "5". Samantha has really been a big help, now that she realizes that Sarah can say many words (or at least try to sound them out anyway). Every once in awhile, Samantha forgets and asks Sarah to say something crazy like "television". Ummm, Sam, those big words will come later :) Let's just stick with easy words like "apple".
2. Two of my friends announced very big news this week: Sam (who had the kidney transplant a few weeks back) is recovering very nicely and is also: ENGAGED! My friends Tina & Casey from college just announced that they are expecting their first baby in June 2011.
3. Call me weird, but I was very excited to find a $1.50 vinyl pink and white checkered table cloth on the clearance rack at CVS. I not only love finding a bargain, but I also love finding a bargain especially when I'm not even looking for one. Plus, I'll be able to use it for my fundraisers.
4. I'm down another 3 pounds. I slacked off quite a bit over the Summer, so now I'm trying to get back on track. My training went pretty well this past week, so I'm pleased with that as well. If I wasn't able to go out on my walk, then I compensated with having a Wii workout instead.
5. I'm looking forward to having a date with Jeremy tomorrow night for our friends Halloween costume party. We don't get to go out together by ourselves too often, so when it happens, we take advantage of it and look forward to it. Samantha is very excited to be sleeping over at Nanny's house, and Kristina will be coming over to play with Sarah.
