High Five for Friday

1. Evaley starts Kindergarten on Monday!  This is the only picture I snapped while we were at her Open House this week... she LOVES to ride on Ampi's shoulders.

2. Pedicures with my friend Aimee.  Ahhhhhhh...

3. Prickly pear mojito from Jack Allen's Kitchen.  So. Good.

4. The meal I had at Jack Allen's was also delicious.  The queso had chunks of pulled pork, and, oh, the salad...  Figs, pear, chicken, cotija cheese... mmmm...

5. This weekend is the Austin Craft Riot and I'm SO EXCITED.  The Shop Hop this last weekend was uh-mazing.  I love how Austin caters so much to sewing, crafting, etc.

Happy Friday - have a great weekend! :)

High Five for Friday

1. Bowling with Evaley.  I love this kid, and she is a HILARIOUS bowler.

2. A PicMonkey print that I worked on this week.  Austen was so sassy.  See the tutorial to make your own here.

3. Austin Shop Hop this weekend with my friend, Joy.  SEW excited (har, har)!

4. I've been sick since Wednesday (hence my really boring posts), and this sweet boy has stayed by my side.

5. My brother plays city league baseball, and Ev and I went to a game last weekend.  This picture of her is way better than any "game photo" that I snapped.

And please forgive my ridiculous attempt to put my High Five for Friday photos together in a somewhat more artistic manner... Like I said, I've been sick, so I spent a whopping 2 minutes in PicMonkey putting this together.  And while the print isn't really a photo, it seemed a better option than a picture of ginger ale and crackers. :)

Hooray for the weekend!!

High Five for Friday

It's Friday again - whoop!  My H54F includes the last 2 weeks because for some reason my last post didn't "take"... 

I do what I want.

1. I spent the weekend with my best friends from high school, Rebekah and Charissa (http://www.mudpiemagnolia.com/).  We shopped, got facials and massages, ate at amazing restaurants, but most importantly, we just spent time together.  I love these friends so very much, and wish we could have girls' weekends WAY more often.

Champagne to celebrate!

2. I ate the truffle fries at Hopdoddy's again.  Seriously good.  So bad for you, but SOOOO good.

3. I took my SpEd content exam - AND PASSED!  This was my face going in to the test.  So attractive.

4. I made this for dinner.  Horrible picture.  DELICIOUS in your mouth.  

5. I have back issues (think: 80 year old back in a 30 year old's body), and going to the chiropractor weekly is amazing.  A little rough on the budget, but amazing.

1. The husby and I went on a date night to Salty Sow.  SO GOOD.  Really.  If you're in the Austin area, go here and hit-up their HH.  This is the only semi-decent photo of us from the night.

2. Evaley and I had an aunt-niece Saturday, starting with visiting the library to read to dogs!

3. There's a great small restaurant in Georgetown that we visited.  So many vegetables.  Made my tummy happy.

4. Speaking of veggies, this is my photo of our potluck this week.  I'll let you guess what I brought (hint: it's not tan or brown).  I LOL'ed when I saw the selection for lunch.

5. Girls' night this week included pie, coffee, and jazz.  It was wonderful.

Have a great weekend!!! 

High Five For Friday

1. A love seat fort - upgrade from my forts under tables back in the day.  My mom found a box of some of my old, favorite books, and my niece spent hours going through them.  Love this kid.

2. Sometimes you just need to stop and reflect, like Rue does.  He's so wise, that dog.

3. I've been prepping for my SPED content exam for the last week or so.  I'm currently enrolled in Tx Teachers to earn my teaching certification, and have passed tests to teach all subjects for grades PreSchool-8th and English for 8th-12th.  SPED is my last area that I have to test for... and it's definitely the most difficult as a lot of the terms and acronyms are foreign to me.  Thankful for a Starbucks close by where I can hole up and cram!!

4. A perk of living with your parents:  I woke up to this breakfast.  A perk of living with your 5 year old niece:  I used an awesome dinosaur placemat like this one.

5. It is HOT here in Texas, so Evaley and I picked out some organic gelato and sorbet from our Farmer's Market... and then proceeded to have a tasting.  

If you live in the area, you have to try it!  Check out http://newworldgelato.com/ to find where it's available.

Happy Friday, y'all!  Hope you have an amazing weekend!!
