Five Things Friday

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

1. Sarah started preschool earlier this week.  She absolutely LOVES it.  She had no problem when Jeremy and I left the classroom.  When I picked her up, she was all smiles.  In fact, 3:00am the following morning, she woke up to ask me if she could go to school that day.  So, yeah, I'd say she's pretty happy there.  Sarah is also very excited to go on her first field trip in a few weeks to go apple picking.
2. We're only on day 6 of being back in "back to school mode", but already we're on a great routine.  I wake up a few minutes early to get something to eat and then get the girls up and running.  I can honestly say that I've woken up all this week without a cup of coffee.  (Yes, folks.  It really can be done).  I really enjoy walking Samantha over to school in the morning.  So far, she's had one homework assignment and we turned it in a day early.  I'm hoping this getting stuff done continues.  I LOVE IT!
3. I'm trying my hardest to not procrastinate.  I'm keeping to my "to do" list.  I'm finding some great ideas on Pinterest on how to stay organized.
4. Samantha started a youth soccer program earlier last week.  She has several friends from her pre-school class from last year on her team.  So I guess it's safe to say that I'm a soccer Mom now!  Minus the mini-van.
5. The house process is still continuing to go very well.  Jeremy and I found out yesterday that we are pre-approved.  So this time next year, we hope to be home owners!  Now we're really putting our noses to the grindstone and just saving saving saving.
