Friday Things #436
1. It was a busy week here with more back-to-school excitement!
2. First up was Dominic on Monday with his first day of pre-k. He was so, so excited to go and had a great time. His favorite part of the day? Playing in the play kitchen and using the pretend microwave ;-)
3. The next day Isabelle had her very first day of preschool! She also could not have been more excited and on the way home, asked me if I could take her back so she could stay at school all day ๐
4. After being home for the better part of the last 18 months, I really had no idea how these two would handle heading off to school. To my surprise, they both marched right into school as happy as could be. And that makes my heart so happy โค๏ธ
5. Really intriguing concept of making a โDonโt Wantโ list.

6. Saw this on FB and love it not for every exact thing, but for how much it exudes balance over the course of the monthโฆ
7. While I love mac and cheese and I love ice cream, I think I might draw the line at mac and cheese ice cream ๐ฌ
8. My boys are super excited about college football starting this weekendโฆ bring on the snacks!!
9. Yellowstone Season 4 trailer is heeeeeeeere ๐คฉ Countdown to November 7th!
10. TGIF! Best couch buddy ever โค๏ธ
Your kids are so cute, so glad theyโre enjoying school. ย I found the monthly schedule overwhelmingโฆIโm not sure how Iโd fit all that in, even over a month. ย I am on the middle of the introvert/extrovert scale and Iโm single so I am used to spending a lot of time by myself. ย It sounds like something to aspire to but it makes me anxious to think of setting a goal like that. ย I prefer to just let things happen. ย Mac and cheese ice cream sounds disgusting! ย I have not gotten into Yellowstone, I tried. ย I like Virgin River. ย And your doggy is gorgeous!
I am a total introvert so yeah, all of the โout with friendsโ thing totally wouldnโt be on my schedule, but I liked the whole no social media, a day serving others, a day outdoors, movie night, etc.
I imagine the pandemic and quarantine has been hard for parents with kids missing out on childhood milestonesโฆyou seem to have breezed thru it! I guess your kids are just the right ages! :)
The โI donโt wantโ list is an interesting conceptโฆtiny problem: our economy is 70% consumerism! Guess we just have to pull off that bandaid :P
I am with ya on the mac n cheese ice creamโฆalso garlic ice cream and bacon ice cream! Yuck!
I absolutely adore your Friday things.
As I near my 70th birthday, there are many things I donโt want. When I moved from my house of 37 yrs., six yrs. ago I got rid of SO much stuff. Recently I found a FB group called Buy Nothing _________ (name of town) where members offer things for free & others ask for them. And on Wish Wednesday you can ask for something.& others try to fulfill their wish. You wouldnโt believe the generosity of members! Iโve gotten many things for my great niece & nephew (clothes & toys), and a few things for myself (two original paintings). I recommend everyone see if thereโs a group in their town. Itโs a great way to get rid of stuff they no longer want & someone else can use.
The kids are so cute & growing so fast! Enjoy your holiday weekend!
I have read your blog since you started it. I look forward to every Fridayโs post to watch your darling children.
I am about to retire and I loved the list of things to do to plan a month. I think this will help me have something to look forward to. Iโm adding some time with my grandchildren (maybe more than once a month).
Thanks. Linda
Love the pictures! The children are adorable! ย Itโs so nice seeing how excited they are about school ! ย Yes Iโm with you Michelle on the Mac n cheese ice cream ! No way !
I have 3 Goldens & two of them love snuggling w/ me on the bed after my husband gets up for work. Itโs heaven on earth. Lol
Those kiddos!! So adorable and the excitement on their faces is priceless!
Love the pic of you and your couch-buddy. Super sweet. Thanks for sharing the love!
That โDonโt Wantโ list is EVERYTHING. ย In this age of censorship, it paints a direct correlation between those with inner contentment and those who envyโฆbut with that aside, all of us could stand to reflect on things they donโt want. ย Love it, Michelle. ย Thanks for posting!
I loved the link to the โDonโt Wantโ list, I shared it with my family this morning. I definitely have a donโt want list of my own, but I like the idea of being more specific. On my list is โmore stuffโ โ not very specific and I am working hard at getting rid of things I already have.
Have a great weekend and enjoy your football!
Love the pictures and feel the same way about mac and cheese ice cream. Have a good weekend!
Hope itโs a great year for the kids! Iโm so excited for Yellowstone!
Gosh, Isabelleโs first day of school picture is the sweetest ๐ฅฐ
