Happy Friday! It's that time again, too look back over the week and focus on the good things that happened. So here we go...
Today is my pretty little baby girl's 14th birthday! Her party is tomorrow, I'm taking her and a couple of friends to see Twilight! I pre-ordered tickets (love that) then back here for pizza, cake and a sleep over.
Phil's brother and sister-in-law came to visit over the weekend. They brought their Wii video game system
and we played with the kids, watching Caleb bowl was hilarious. I know why those controllers have straps. The kids had fun with their Aunt and Uncle and we got treated to a impromptu rock concert. The "band" members range in age from 14 to 39. Loads of fun!We had 2 night with no activities this week! It was nice to just be able to relax after dinner and not have to rush out or be rushed to get lessons in before dinner. Ahh!
I have made progress on re-organizing/streamlining of our calendars and how I keep track of information. Honey helped me get all my address loaded on my ipod! That's a handy little feature.
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas... there is a chill in the air, itunes is loaded up with Christmas music ready to sync with the ipod, I have even bought a few gifts. But best of all I have a plan! Having a plan for the holidays is helping my OMS, so is the streamlining.
If you would like to participate in fave 5 or just see other peoples lists jump over to Living to Tell the Story to get all the details. Thank you to Susanne for hosting!
Have a great weekend!

What a fantastic list, Jen.
I love your focus on family, organization, and Christmas ... three of my favorite subjects!
Sounds like you had an all-around terrific week - how wonderful! I like the nights-with-no-activities, too.
Happy Birthday to your girl! Hope she has a wonderful day. My youngest turns 14 this year too!
I haven't quite got in the Christmas mode yet but I'm sure once I start decorating and shopping it will hit. And our ladies church Christmas party is already next week so I'm sure I'll be in the mood soon.
Love your list, reorganization, relaxation and that Christmas feeling!! All great favourites! :)
I hope you enjoy the movie with your daughter and her friends. I'd love to hear your opinion on if its good or not. I think I'll try to pick up the book from the library this weekend.
A very happy birthday to your daughter! My daughter went to the midnight showing of Twilight. She hasn't called me yet and I'm hoping she hasn't turned into a vampire!! (She's 22) Have a great weekend..
