Five for Friday

What a week. Just a quick recap:

1. I don't like being sick. And I don't like my little ducklings being sick either. When all of us are sick at the same time, it's hard. And despite having medicine there's not much else you can do but put everything else aside and just love on 'em. And that's enough.
2. We watched Ramona and Beezus Wednesday afternoon, as soon as it came out of the mailbox. It was great. I cried. Ella Grace fell asleep on me.
3. My kids are funny. From me overhearing Ella Grace say "Major, am I cute? Am I fashionable?" to her telling him he doesn't "have to say 'all things'" and Major thinking him doing a "fine job" of cleaning his room will help him have "sweet dreams" sometimes I can't help but grin.
4. We named our elf today - "Chuluota Toot-toot" (the first word is chew-lee-oat-uh, and Ella Grace would say "like a train says toot-toot " for the second). Creative, huh?
5. What would I do without friends sometimes? Whether loaning me Polar Express or calling to check on us 'cause we missed church and bringing us dinner. I can't wait to find our new church in Florida and get settled!
