5 Things I'm Loving This Week

Taking a tip from Money Saving Mom, Crystal Paine, and writing about what 5 things I am loving this week.

1. Halloween Fun

My kids had several Halloween Parties this week. The end of last week our elementary school had their first annual Trunk or Treat, which was SO fun! I really think it was a hit, even though it was pretty chilly, and the kids had a blast and got plenty of candy. Then, my two girls had dance class and got to wear their costumes and hand out candy. Finally my preschooler had a Halloween party and both my 3rd grader and 5th grader had classroom parties. So, needless to say with all of those things, plus Halloween night my kids have an abundance of candy and I am going to need an abundance of will power to NOT eat it!

2. Meeting Up with Old Friends

I was fortunate enough to be able to meet up with an old friend from high school this week. We have been trying to get together for a while, but because we both have 3 kids and are busy, and I have anxiety and it's a hard thing for me to go or do new things, we just haven't been able to. Well, I pushed myself this week and was able to go and had a great time.

3. A Clean House

My husband and I spent most of Saturday morning cleaning and organizing the house. I even was able to wash my window in the kitchen that had been severally neglected. It felt so good to be able to take the kids out Trick-or-Treating and come home to a clean house.

4. Parents

Each year since we have had kids my husband and I have been lucky to have my parents come to our house to celebrate Halloween with us and hand out candy so that we can take the kids out Trick-or-Treating. I am so thankful for that.

5. Calm and Relaxing Sundays

Because we cleaned house yesterday today I am able to sit and relax. It feels so good to be able to wake up in the morning and walk downstairs to a clean kitchen. Plus, since the house is clean I'm able to go through and finally do some organizing. My kids still have summer clothes in their closets and, even though it's suppose to be in the 70's here all this week, the cooler weather is on the way and when it comes back it's most likely here to stay.

So, how was your Halloween and what 5 things are you loving this week?
