Friday Favorites {#184}

Hello and happy Friday!

How was your week? We had a really good one.

It might be that our evenings are busy with cross country and volleyball, but I felt like we all had to manage every minute of our evenings this week. The kids have really seemed to have a lot of homework, so they were up late a couple of nights.

Anyway, we’ve made it to the weekend!

As always, I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are my favorites from the week:

On Saturday night, Hayden ran in distance festival at Bellarmine. Thomson Training, my nephew’s running club, hosts this event in honor of Trav’s dad. Some of the best runners in the state were there. Hayden ran a great race around the track with a sub 5 mile.

It’s been amazing to see how this event has grown in the past three years, and it’s inspiring to see all the runners there in honor of Trav’s dad who was a huge supporter of cross country.

On Sunday, we went to the UK volleyball game. Some of Hadley’s friends went too, and my brother, his family, and my mom were there as well.

Kentucky won, and it was a fun afternoon at Rupp!

Since my mom was visiting, she brought the kids their birthday gifts a few days early.

The main reason my mom came to visit was to go to the Eagles concert. They are on their “Long Goodbye” tour. She really wanted to go, so my brother and I went with her. It was a late night on Tuesday, but we really enjoyed the concert. The Doobie Brothers opened for them, and I knew most of their songs too!

Hadley had quite a lot of fans at her volleyball game on Wednesday. Besides my mom and brother, my niece and nephew came too.

Remember my trip to Walmart on election day? I picked up these two trees, and I finally put them up over the weekend. They are perfect!

I can’t wait to get my other Christmas decorations out…maybe this weekend?

I’ve shared these in previous years, but these wireless outlets (with remote!) continue to save the day, especially during the holidays. I used one for the tree in my room, one for the tree in Hadley’s room, and then one for these trees. It’s difficult to get behind the mirror, so I plugged the trees into a power strip, and then plugged the power strip into the wall.

Every night, I use the remote to turn off all the trees. (Hadley sometimes turns her tree off by clicking the button on the outlet before I go to bed.) So, you don’t have to use the remote.

Anyway, I just thought I’d share in case they might come in handy for you.

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

These two are about to be 14. How can that be?

From 4 to 14…It’s gone by in a blink.

What are your weekend plans?

Our weekend includes a volleyball tournament, a cross country race, some basketball games, and we’re squeezing in some time to let the kids have fun with their friends to celebrate their birthday.

I already need a nap on Monday!

Have a great weekend,
