High Five For Friday

Photobucket


These are the top five highlights from the past week:

1.  Getting to see my daughter in her recital costumes on picture day!



2.  Sunday fun day!  A trip to the zoo, lunch with friends, and Chuck E Cheese.




3.  We took a few family bike rides this week.  It feels good to get some exercise in.

4.  After school ice cream with my girl:


5.  Looking forward to this weekend's fun plans:  my husband's company Spring party tonight, a trip to the movies with the girls, Mother's Day, and possibly a trip over to Disney.

Hope you have a great weekend!

High Five For Friday: A Weekend Of Fun

Wow, it is the first Friday in May already!  This year is just flying by.

I'm linking up with Lauren for this week's top five highlights.

This past weekend we enjoyed a visit from our college friends and their two children.  We had an action packed weekend planned.  It really was nonstop.

1)  We tried out a new restaurant for lunch on our way to a local art festival.  I had a turkey bacon avocado melt with chipotle aioli.  The portions were HUGE.  We also ordered Bavarian pretzel sticks for an appetizer.  They were served with lager beer cheese and ground mustard for dipping.  They were soooo delicious we had to order a second.  Too bad I didn't snap a pic.


2)  An impromptu photo shoot among beautiful tropical flowers:



3)  FREE Minor League baseball game!  We enjoyed a beautiful evening at the ball park, watching a beautiful sunset while our children had a blast running crazy on the berm.




4)  Playtime at the park!




5)  Today!  Hubby is taking a day off of work, kid is playing hooky from preschool and we are planning to head over to hang out at one of the Disney parks for a few hours.

Happy weekend!

Mani Monday: Teenage Dream

I'm linking up with Heather from Glitter & Gloss and Heather from Just Love.ly for Mani Monday.


I choose OPI's Teenage Dream for this week's manicure.  I bought it back around the holidays and I just love it.  It layers beautifully over light pink polish or stands out by itself with lots of sparkle if you use two coats.  Just make sure to use a good top coat so you won't feel the texture of all that glitter.

High Five For Friday: A Long Week

This really hasn't been the best, most interesting week as my husband traveled for work and I came down with a cold/sinus issues.  Oh well...looking forward to a better week ahead.

Photobucket


1) This past Saturday, my hubby and I got a child-free day date.  We spent it going to a craft beer festival in Gainesville.  It was rather hot and crowded but I enjoyed all of the food samples from local restaurants. It was located at the beautiful Kanapaha Gardens.  We enjoyed a walk around the grounds before it was time to head back to reality.


2)  We spent Sunday morning out on my in-law's pontoon boat.  It was the perfect morning to get a little fresh air.


3)  Once we were home on Sunday evening, we had just enough time go to out for a family bike ride.  We tried to convince our daughter to ride along with us on her new bike but she refused.  I still have the baby bike seat attached to my bike and that is all she wanted.  So in she went, with her knees in my back. =)  She still meets the weight recommendations of the seat, barely.  We were treated to this beautiful sunset on our way back home.


4)  Free breakfast!!!  Our local Chick-fil-A was offering free chicken mini's for breakfast this past Wednesday.  So wonderful to have a hot breakfast I didn't have to cook.


5)  Having my hubby home safely, although a day later, from his business trip.  Our daughter missed him so much this week.  I'm so happy we will get to have a weekend at home, relaxing for once.  Although there is much to do around here to get caught up.  I also plan to continue recovering from this cold.

What are your Friday Five?
