Friday Favorites {#202}

Hello and happy Friday!

TGIF! We survived the first week back after break. Of course, it helped that we didn’t have school on Monday! We did have a good week, but it was a rainy one around here.

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

Here are some favorites from the week:

Monday was the Solar Eclipse day, and it was nice to have one more day of break. I guess because of the eclipse, we didn’t have school. One of Hadley’s best friends had her birthday party that day, and these girls had lunch while viewing the eclipse and then enjoying some cake! I think they had a great time.

Meanwhile…Hayden and I kept checking out the eclipse as the sun dodged in and out of the clouds. We were finally able to catch the eclipse a couple of times. Our area was at 96% coverage, and it was neat to see.

I saw this meme on Monday, and it made me laugh!

Hayden was “bored” the other day and organized our fridge. He sent this pic to our family group text:

Of course, I appreciate the effort, but I told him to maybe check out his bedroom too. haha

Also, please don’t judge the White Claw/Truly inventory. Most of these are from last summer. haha

He even unpacked my favorite snacks!

One of the things on my spring break “to do” list was to watch We Were the Lucky Ones on Hulu. I loved the book, and it was one of my Top 5 reads in 2021.

The series is so good, and I’m caught up on the episodes. There are two more to go I think.

Before our DC trip, I bought some new tennis shoes. My back was starting to bother me a bit, and when that happens, I usually realize that my tennis shoes are over a year old. I can say after logging many miles walking around DC and doing some at home workouts this week, I really do like these shoes.

I got mine at DSW, but I couldn’t find them on the website, but found them on the New Balance site.

It’s track season, and I was hoping to be able to say that the kids out running on the track is a favorite but… the first meet was supposed to be on Wednesday, and it was rained out. Yesterday was supposed to be the second meet of the season, but it was also rained out.

Fingers crossed the rain moves out by tonight’s invitational meet.

Favorite Mom Meme:

When they take out the trash without me asking, I know something is up! haha

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

I feel like I went my whole life without ever hearing about a solar eclipse, but my kids have experienced two in a matter of seven years.

The 2017 solar eclipse was spent making crafts and hanging with friends after school was called off.

No crafts for the 2024 eclipse although now I’m realizing that was a missed opportunity!

Weekly Recap:

I had a full week of posting:

What are your weekend plans? Besides track on the calendar, Hadley has a volleyball tournament this weekend, and we have a wedding to attend. Thankfully, I think the sun is actually going to shine this weekend.
