Five on Friday

I am getting a head start and am doing this on Thursday! Shocking, I know! It has bit a bit of an eventful week for me. I ended up falling and slipping in some water at school. So, I am limping around with a sore knee. I am thankful that the children who saw didn't laugh. LOL. Fall is coming, y'all! I normally wouldn't want it to come so fast, but I am suddenly looking forward to it!!! Bring on the cozy nights at home (not that I don't already spend the evenings at home, b/c, HELLO, laziness!!)! Seriously, I am kind of looking forward to it. I wore pants for there first time in AGES (despite my should have worn pants when I went to my parents' back in August) today (and cute socks, too!), and I wasn't even that hot. It has been cooler in the mornings...and sometimes, even at night when we go to bed. I guess it really IS coming, then!

This first full week of school has been kicking my butt! I am VERY MUCH looking forward to 3pm tomorrow!! That being said, though, I am happy to report that things have gone very well, and I am so happy and blessed. I love the grade 2 class. They are all so sweet, and always have hilarious things to say!!

Here I am icing me knee today (yes, it might have been JUST for the picture, but I did have it on ice all last night..for real).

So, here are the 5 things from this wk!

1) A Lazy Sunday Afternoon:

On Sunday, I didn't go to church, as I slept in (oops!). Anker and I watched some of the Hurricane Irma footage on TV, then I did some relaxing in our room, and then I sat outside for a couple of hours. I read magazines, and drank ice tea, and ate carrots and cookies.

2a) Walk:

I had a very long over due walk on Tuesday! I didn't walk nearly as much as I should have this summer. I had to MAKE myself go out, and I am so glad I did!

2b) Rain:

We had a good few minute rain 3 nights ago! We have had some rain before, but it would only be a sprinkle (or maybe a light rain). I wish it had rained all night, but we are happy that it came at all.

3) Dinner

Who needs dinner out when you have a husband willing to make it at home? He made chicken breasts, rice and broccoli last night, and even though the chicken was tough (not really his fault), it was still very good.

4) Cheap Coffee Maker

Our coffee maker has been leaking for ages! It really started leaking a couple of weeks ago, and Anker tried to fix it, but it still continued to leak. So, I went online to see if there were any in the bidding groups...and I "won" a coffee maker for $5 last wknd, and I picked it up on Monday. We love it...!!! The best $5 I had spent in awhile!!!

5) The Garden That Never Ends

Our garden is pretty much done, BUT there are still some veggies that keep coming!!! Anyone want any beets/carrots?
