It’s that time again! To list the happy moments of the month and share- because there’s always something to smile about(yes, I need this reminder sometimes). Joining in with EmmyMom.
1. Running our first messy color run. It poured down rain until just before the race started, but I’m glad we ran it! If you’re going to run one, check out my color run tips.
2. Listening to my boys practice songs for their Christmas program, complete with fancy moves.
3. This grin: first place in “strongest kick” for the second karate tournament in a row.
4. Lunch out with a friend.
5. Getting to go on a field trip with my second grader.
6. Gilmore Girls Netflix marathon.
7. The kindergarten Thanksgiving feast. The Pilgrims and Indians were a cuteness overload.
8. Getting to sleep in during Thanksgiving break.
9. Date night!
10. Knowing there’s only three weeks until another break!
Sounds like you had a lot to smile about. I was smiling last week because I had a kid free weekend 🙂
Sounds like a lot of reasons to smile for sure! And I’m counting down till Christmas break, too. This morning I told my son… “Just two more Mondays after today! It’s what’s getting us through. 🙂
I love his smile for strongest kick, you can totally see how proud he is.
This is such an uplifting post. It looks like you’ve got a regular Chuck Norris on your hands!
A couple of months ago, my husband took our nephew on a fishing trip. Watching Mike get everything ready made me smile. He was so excited to be taking my nephew on a trip.
You know, I have my first karate belt test next week . . . and I’ll TOTALLY admit that I’m feeling a bit like Kramer among the 5 year olds. I mean, I hope, in time, to be “mostly separate,” but at the very beginning levels, well, if we had a “strongest kick” contest, I believe I can fairly say that there wouldn’t be much competition 🙂
This is a great post — here’s to more date nights & sleeping in!
Love your list. Date night is an awesome one!
It rained DURING our color run back in March. We still had fun even if we were drenched and colorful.
This past weekend made me smile – a lot. My husband had a 4 day weekend, and we got so much done around the house, decorated for Christmas, and had time to relax!
My Turkey Coma post Thanksgiving Meal definitely made me smile! 🙂
That color run looks super fun. I don’t think I’ve ever done that!
Wow busy month with lots of reasons to smile! Lots have made me happy but just hanging out with my kids tops it all!
This is such a great list. I am watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix too!
It’s so important to be thankful everyday for the great things we have in our lives. I love the color run picture, by the way.
You definitely had a lot to smile about! I’ve always wanted to do the Color Run.
I do want to run a color run. We have one coming up in Kansas City. Maybe next year.
Those are all great things to smile about. I would like to do the lunch date with a friend. During the busy holiday season, it’s easy to neglect the girlfriends.
It’s a great way to start a day with a smile on your face. Let us all spread the positivity and good vibes all over the place.
Looks like the color run was a blast. I think we will do a color run next year.
There is so much to smile about. It is great to have these reflections this time of year.
Wonderful things to smile about. Love the Color Run Pics.
What a wonderful, fun time for all of you!
Fun post – great list of things to be happy for.- I want to run a color run. Looks like so much FUN!!!!
I love this! So many things to be thankful for! What a beautiful family!
Color runs are really a fun event! I definitely want to take my family next year!
We did our first color run as a family last year. It sure was a lot of fun.
I have always thought a color run would be so much fun. I am smiling because my daughter got her drivers licence. She can now drive herself everywhere and i can finally make plans of my own.
These made me smile too! We did the color vibe this year as a family, and had a blast.
Smiling is good for your health, and these things are great ways to smile
That is a lot of stuff to smile about. I finally got a nice camera for my blog and a 2nd laptop, so my job is going to be much easier. That definitely makes me smile.
Truly amazing list that made you smile. They made me smile, too! I’m loving all the past thanksgiving family and friends from last week. Thanks for sharing.
Big smiles all around! These are great posts! Love reading them!
Great post! I’m smiling because Christmasnis right around the corner!
You have a lot of really great things to smile about. We put up our tree this week and there were lots of smiles.
Field trips are so much fun with the little ones. We just had one for Safetyville, and it was awesome. 🙂
Love your Color Run pic, those races look fun to me.
I have always wanted to participate in a color run. Now that I quit smoking and can breathe better, maybe I will do that!
Hubby makes me smile! I’ve been so stressed out recently and he knows just what to say and do to make it all better 🙂
We did the color run too! I can’t wait until Christmas break with my kiddos 🙂
These are definitely some great things to smile about! Love this post girl!
Awesome list! Date night is always great. How did you manage to stay so clean during the color run compared to your boys? So fun you did that.
It’s always fun to be able to go on field trips with kids, I like seeing how my kids act at school, often surprises me some of the things they do.
Thank you so much for linking up
