High Five For Friday! 7.8.15

Hello Friday!  I am especially excited for Friday this week because we leave for a mini family vacation tomorrow!  Woo hoo!  I am so excited to get out of here!  I am also (shockingly) organized and I have our bags packed and ready to go!  Yay!  Here are the five highlights from my week:

1.)  Hubby didn't have to work on Friday so we went to the pool.  Miss. E had a blast and so did we!  It was super hot so the pool was just what we needed.



2.)  On Saturday, I worked the Parish Booth at the local sports weekend.  Truth be told, I was dreading it.  I get nervous when I have to meet new people (like everyone else I am sure) and I only recognized one name on my shift.  It turned out to be a lot of fun and reminded me how important service is.

3.)  Sunday was my Hubby's family reunion.  I was also nervous about it because I don't know a lot of his extended family very well.  My Mother-In-Law comes from a family with 16 children, so between the kids, grandchildren and great grandchildren there are a lot of them! (Miss. E was number 50 for great grandchildren and there were (at least) 3 births since she was born!)  Everyone was so wonderful and welcoming.  Miss. E enjoyed running around with her cousins and had a blast.  It was such fun.

4.)  I was able to book last minute lodging for my dog.  This was a complete oversight on my part.  Most kennels are booked up because Summer is their busy time.  We found a great kennel that could take her, but we had to rent one of the swanky "suites" because that is all they had left.  So, the dog will be living in the lap of luxury during our vacation.  I am just happy I got her in!

5.) Miss. E learned to open doors this week.  Oh my!  She is growing up so fast and becoming quite the little monkey.  We have the easy to open door levers so I went and bought some round doorknobs.  I also installed them myself.  I am not at all handy and I usually leave that sort of thing to my Hubby, but I figured it was an easy enough task.  It was pretty easy and Hubby was happy that he didn't have to do it.  Maybe I can try something a little more difficult next time.  Who knows?

Eating an apple that she took from Daddy's lunch kit. 

How was your week?  If you want to join in the H54F link up, please link up with the lovely ladies below!  I will be gone into next week.  I will try to get my Wardrobe Wednesday post up, but it may not get up until Thursday.  Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

    1. We got a real kick out of her apple nabbing. Ha ha! I tried to get my packing done early this time because I am always so stressed the day before we go anywhere! I am just pumped that I got it done!

  3. How fun to be headed out on family vacation! I hope you all have a great time. 50 great grands - that's a huge family for sure! Both my hubby and I come from small families, so I can't imagine having to learn all those names. Glad it went well!

  5. So a HUGE high five for changing the door knobs yourself. I'm kind of jealous. Good for you! We have the knob kind, not the lever, so Elizabeth still can't quite manage to open doors yet. But any day now! She can rattle the knob on the bathroom door, and my stomach lurches when she does. HAHA! Hope you're enjoying your mini vacation!!!

  6. I hope you all have had a wonderful time on your mini vacation! Chauncey and I are heading to the beach this weekend. Kane is staying with his grandparents because he's at that age where it would be very hard to take him along. . .but we're going to try to do Disney with him next year! And it sounds like your doggie will enjoy her staycation!!!
