Happy Friday!  We have a busy weekend planned so let’s get right down to business!

O N E – Transitional Piece for Fall

I’ve posted about this kimono once before, but after wearing it for the first time this week I just had to come back and let y’all know how fabulous it is!  It’s light and airy so it’s the perfect transitional piece for fall…

… Now if only the weather will cooperate. 

T W O – Homecoming Week Fun

This week is homecoming week at the kids’ school so they have been enjoying dressing up for the different themes each day. 

Pajama Monday!

Team Tuesday... they proudly showed off their Georgia gear!

When I Grow Up Wednesday… they had to dress like what they want to be when they grow up.  Jacob wants to be “a guy who designs rides at Disney World” (he drew his blueprint for his first ride this week… see it tucked under his arm?) and Olivia wants to be a superhero… specifically Owlette from PJ Masks.

Tacky Thursday!  #NailedIt

And Extreme Spirit Wear Friday…we gave Jacob a mowhawk and sprayed his hair red as always!  :o)

T H R E E – Yahtzee

We love to play games in our house and the kids are at the ages where they can finally start playing “real” games instead of the typical little kid games like Candy Land and such.  We recently bought Yahtzee and we had our first family game the other evening.  I forgot how much I loved it!  Jacob understands it pretty well, but Olivia still has trouble making decisions where to use her points.  She’ll get the hang of it soon, though!  Lots of fun for only $7.99!

F O U R – New Gym Record

If you’ve been around my blog for some time you know that I like to go to the gym and I try to make time for it at least two times per week.  I typically only use the gym for my cardio and the treadmill is my jam.  I don’t like to run anymore, despite the fact that I used to run cross country, and instead I set the pace at a super fast walk on a steep incline to make it more challenging.  I always do 30 minutes with a five minute cool-down and then I see how many calories I’ve burned at the end.

For the last few months or so I’ve been doing a pace of 3.6 mph on and incline of 9 or 10, but this week I started ramping it up to 3.8 mph on an incline of 11.  This past Tuesday I burned the most calories ever in my 35 minutes.  See for yourself!

F I V E – Serving Tray Makeover

I’ve had a brown serving tray with picture slots since B and I got married.  I loved the idea of the picture slots when we registered for it, but I quickly realized that it’s silly to have picture slots on a serving tray because you just cover them up with the decorations.  Anyhoo, I’ve been wanting to paint it for years and I finally got it done this week.  I LOVE it.

S I X – Fall Happies

Watching Gilmore Girls while I blog and sip my tea.
