Five Things for Friday

1. I am linking up with Women in the Scriptures to do Five Things for Friday. I have a really hard time sitting down and blogging anymore...so when I read her post I thought...I can do this...and now. So here you go:)

2. Josh just left to go camping for Scouts...they go once a month. It caught me off guard that I got a lump in my throat after he drove off. I love him. So while he is gone...I am going to my friend Cathy's house for some girl time and Carter is coming along for some play time(all the wives of the campers are invited to come). Two of the ladies that I know of have never seen "The Holiday"...so I am taking it and I am excited to share such a fun chick flick!

3. Today Josh and I went and surprised Carter by having lunch with him. The little kids in his class are so cute and get just as excited about us coming as Carter does. They just talk and talk and talk and ask us all kinds of questions. It was fun and smelled just like school lunch smelled 20 years ago...seriously...20 years ago I was eight. I can say "20 years ago..." I am getting old;)

4.. I finished Carter's Christmas shopping for the most part today...AND he was with me! I give myself total props because he has absolutely no clue! It was awesome because I let him walk the aisle and a couple of the items that he totally flipped over I just picked up behind him and put them in the cart and covered them with a pair of pajamas. I LOVE Christmas shopping and I especially love buying toys...I have just as much fun as Carter does. He also picked out his Halloween costume for next year at 75% off...a swamp monster.

5. I am having a hard time not getting in tot he Christmas spirit:) I want to decorate right now! And no...I do not want to overlook Thanksgiving but can't I decorate for Christmas AND be grateful and have a feast? I think I can. (but not sure if I will...because I also don't want to get tired of the decorations by the time Christmas comes) I think I am over thinking this.

Okay...that is all. I am off!! Happy Weekend everyone!
