Five Things Friday

Five Things That Happened This Past Week That Made Me Smile:

1. My birthday was earlier this week, and the girls were so excited to make me some gifts.  They were so sweet and so thoughtful.  They rolled up lots of newspaper (with help from Daddy) and used ribbons and bows to make me a very large size bouquet of flowers.
2. We are very fortunate to have a really nice consignment shop just down the street from us.  Twice a year they have a bag for $10.00 sale.  Needless to say, I cleaned up the store quite well.  I bought mostly Samantha's full Fall 2012 wardrobe all for $20.00. 
3. I was able to cross a few things off my to "do list".  It feels great to set goals and accomplish them.
4. While Samantha was at school earlier in the week, I was preparing ahead of time for school vacation coming up soon and bought some arts and crafts in the dollar section of Target.  If you don't know this by now, but I am a fanatic when it comes to the dollar section.  I spent $5.00 and bought things like glitter glue pens, to shiny stickers to pom poms.  The girls are going to love it!
5. I'm really excited next week for the Bridal Expo show that's happening in Nashua.  Jeremy and I are looking forward to speaking with brides and their upcoming weddings and photographing them possibly.  Plus, I don't get to spend much alone time with Jeremy these days, so to spend some time with him will be fun!
