Celebrate the small things



Celebrate the Small Things is the fun weekly meme hosted by Viklit @ Scribblings of an Aspiring Author, where bloggers share things they wish to celebrate, and then hop around to other bloggers to rejoice in their celebrations, too. :) Go HERE to sign up and join the celebration!




*My oldest son's cross country team qualified at Sectionals and is headed to Regionals.  So proud of him, and the team as a whole. They've worked really hard to achieve this.




*My two middle sons finished their projects, both due on the same day, but from different time periods. One made an Egyptian death mask, while the other made a Miami Tribe village. We learned a lot about King Tut, how the Miami Indians lived, and about... "papier maché." :D

*My youngest son has a fish now. He chose a red betta and named him Mr. Fishy and Capt. Jack Sparrow, depending on the day. LOL




*I had a nice time at the craft get together with Dani. 
We made wreaths. I went with an Autumn one for my front door. We also ate yummy snacks and had girl talk. I think it's important to decompress and just hang out, which is great for ones spirit. :)






What are your celebrations for the week?

    YAY for your son! Hope they do well. And those projects are really great. Kids can put the most amazing things together. You and Dani did a good job too. I'd take a wreath like that for my door.
