Fridays

We have a new appreciation for Fridays in our home this fall. Since Zane goes to school Monday-Thursday, it is the only day we don't have to rush around to be out the door first thing in the morning.

Once we got there we quickly checked out the reindeer and then met up with the Speer crew and Zane's friend Gianna and family.

Once we got back to the house, all of the kids played together for a while outside and at the Pitts' house. Thankfully Luke got home from work a little early. It was a fun day overall. I'll miss our lazy Fridays all together with my boys next year when Zane goes to kindergarten all day Monday-Friday (I need to cherish these special times with him...
