It's Thursday and that means it's the day we stop to look back at the past week's small successes; those little things that cummulatively, add up to a lot of love poured into seven days. Before we begin, I'd like to just let you know how honored I am to host this weekly event for all of you. It is a very heartening experience to visit your blogs and see so many people just seizing life with joy. You are inspiring.
This week I:
1) got the school uniform situation squared away. I still need to go to the (ugh) ugly shoe store for the ugly shoes, but getting six kids outfited for returning to school is almost done.
2) Ordered new backpacks --old ones were ripped, grimy and had fought the good fight, it was time for new blood.
3) helped set up fishing poles --husband took the boys lake fishing; they loved it!
4) Worked out on the Wii every day.
5) Still fighting to continue Flylady.
6) Visited with two good friends on the phone, I miss them both.
7) Decided to engage in solidarity reading, am starting Passage to India, as my daughter is also reading it.
Now it's your turn. I look forward to seeing what y'all did this past week!

Good Morning! Love the reading-- I love reading what the kids are reading. (Usually)
Wow! YAY for you guys!
LOVE that "fishing with Daddy" one,especially! Thanks for hosting:)
Looks like a good mix of productive tasks & personal enjoyments. Congrats on a great week.
When I think "school shoes," I remember the black and white oxfords that were a required part of my uniform at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School. I liked their look! But even better was the "new shoe smell" they gave off on the first day of school when I slipped them on my feet.
Hi Sherry, I was also going to comment on how productive and also organised things sound. Don't worry though, I am not expecting you to always be that way, just glad this week has had some organised successful moments! It feels good, at the end of the day when this happens.
I still have washing up from Tuesday night to do, so we won't go there hahaha!
Work's worn me out this week, that's my excuse!
Sounds like a good week :) Flylady and I are not currently lining up but I really liked it when it was working for us. Maybe another time...
