High Five for Friday 11.7

Phew! What a long week it's been. We had conferences this week which meant working from 7:30-7:30 on Monday and Thursday.  It's a great time to celebrate the learning of my students, but it sure wears me out and I miss my boys like crazy!  Hooray for the week being over and a calm weekend ahead. Besides being completely exhausted, the week had some great spots.

{ONE}

 

I made my very first pumpkin pie.  I love all things pumpkin, but I realized I'd never made a pumpkin pie.  I just followed the recipe on the canned pumpkin, and it turned out fabulous.  It was a wonderful treat to come home to after long conferences, and I may have had a piece or two for breakfast.

We had my brother and his family over for lunch on Sunday, and I got to break out the fun plates from Create UR Plate.  

{THREE}

 

Henry passed his first belt test in his Little Ninjas class and got his first belt this week.  He was so proud!

{FOUR}

 

While dad and big bro were at Little Ninjas, I got to spend some one-on-one time with this little guy.  He's so fun and gaining so many words!  He's recently learned Elmo, scarecrow, and pumpkin.  He says please and thank you without prompting. I forgot how fun it is when little one's language explodes.

What? More shopping? Though this week it wasn't for me. I used our Gap rewards to buy these adorable PJs for the boys for Christmas. Last year I started the Christmas PJs tradition on Christmas Eve at our house, and I intend to continue. I thought these were super cute!

How was your week?
