Friday Favorites - Nugget Giveaway Edition

Happy Friday, friends!  We SURVIVED!!!  The first full week back is in the books and while we definitely had our hiccups (Griffin was a hot mess getting out of the van in the pouring rain during carpool yesterday and as I was waving goodbye to her I realized her skirt was on backwards) we're fairly unscathed :)

I have a whole bunch of random goodness for this week's FAVORITES and if you have favorites to share be sure to link back to me, Erika or Narci and add your post to the linkup at the bottom of this post!

Our downstairs air conditioning went out last week and Dave and I ended up bunking with the kids upstairs.  I slept with Griffin one night and waking up to the snuggles and BEST morning sun in her room was a FAVORITE little moment.  Almost immediately after I snapped this pic we were laying there talking and she goes, "mommy... your mouth smells like poop"  

OMG!!!  #momlife

Griffin's new FAVORITE accessory of choice?  A scepter, of course!

Ice cream at Mason's end-of-season baseball party was apparently a FAVORITE ;)

We had to go pick up Luke from a birthday party last weekend and I called upstairs at the last minute to get Mason and Griffin to come downstairs so we could go and Griffin came down in a few of her FAVORITE dress-up items.  Oh my word, y'all.

Thankfully another dad walked Luke out of the movie theater so I didn't have to walk my circus inside to get him :)

Second day of school and looking WAY TOO BIG - but that little hand on the hip is my FAVORITE!

Tuesday night we had our Life Group end-of-summer party and these three were ready to swim!  So much so that Mason gave me total stank face when I asked to take a picture.  Dave and I do the social events for the class and so we get there early to make sure everything was ready and my kids LOVE it because they have the entire pool to themselves.  

And yes... both my boys are now rocking the little suits :)  Earlier in the summer Mason constantly complained about his GAP trunks being too "heavy" to swim in and so I ordered him  this pair of trunks and they were immediately his FAVORITE.  After determining that Mason's trunks made him "go faster", Luke requested a pair and now both boys only want to wear this style.  The teeny trunks are my FAVORITE so I'm not complaining ;)

Mason's FAVORITE part of the party was catching a frog in the pool...

... and showing it to all of his friends...

It was a great night with friends and y'all... look at all those kids!!!

Having co-workers that are friends and send you pictures of your kids being silly is one of my FAVORITE perks of my job :)

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

And glancing out my classroom window during my planning period and getting to see my kids playing is another FAVORITE

My students know I HATE E.T so when I Was going around this week checking to make sure everyone had their math binders in order I couldn't stop laughing at this one...

ET isn't my FAVORITE but I do love that he was giving me a hard time about my phobia :)

 And last, but not least I am SO EXCITED to be giving away one of my most favorite things ever... a Nugget!  I reviewed ours earlier this year and I can honestly say that it's something that my kids use daily.  They build forts with it, make it into their "stage" and crash on it after school.  They jump on it, read on it, we have movie nights on it and sometimes even request to sleep on it.  This week it was our "after school hangout" spot and was where they hung out for a solid hour or so reading, doing a bit of homework and taking turns playing on the iPad...

Be sure to check out  my instagram today and keep an eye out for the post there because that's where you'll enter to win one of your own!
