Friday Favorites 9.5.14

Another week, another Friday!
I am happy to say that we are wrapping up week #4 of schooling today. That means we have been hitting the books for almost a month now. 
Can it be winter break soon?! 
Let's get to business with this weeks Friday Five!

{ONE} Pre K: A is for Apple
Our Pre-K approach will be pretty laid back. I wanted to start something with her but I was not ready to get to crazy with the planned curriculum. This week we did A says "A" for Apple. 
We worked on writing the letter A. Used some resources from A Teaching Mommy's apple tot pack and worked on an apple craft. Which meant, I took a piece of paper, drew and apple and had her glue little pieces of paper to it. I love me an easy kids craft. Big sister had fun helping to!

We are loving Pre-School!

{TWO} Awana Club
Marissa went to her first Awana meeting this week. I always get so nervous dropping her off at an unfamiliar place where she doesn't know very many people. I have to remind myself that it is good for her. She needs to learn certain skills and that may mean being uncomfortable. I left a very quiet, reclusive little girl and picked up a little lady with a huge smile who was begging to go back before we left!
 

I am so excited to see how the year goes.

{THREE} Bagel Love
Just in case you missed it, the Pumpkin Spice Bagel recipe I was talking about last week posted. 

I can't get over how easy bagels are to make! After thinking about other fall flavors I spent sometime in the kitchen on Monday experimenting. I made an apple cinnamon bagel that might just be my absolute favorite, EVER. I will have to post that recipe sometime soon. 

The other bagel hit in our house has been my Cinnamon Crunch Bagels. Make sure to check out that recipe to.
{FOUR} Guilty

I may or may not be guilty of this one ;).
Speaking of running! I registered for the 2015 Joplin Memorial Run half marathon this week! So excited to get to be a part of such an awesome race again.
Shortly after I registered they posted this

I'm kind of a big deal, HA!

{FIVE} Fall decorating

So I got out my fall decor on Monday. I personally feel that I should be applauded because I did wait until September 1st. The fall decor has been displayed at Hobby Lobby for over 2 months now.
While "decorating" I realized my fall decor and decoration selection stinks. How is it that a lady that has 3, yes 3 Christmas trees only has 3 strands of leaves and a wreath for fall decor. In my defense I am a firm believer that holiday decor is better off to be accrued over time, not bought all at once. But I am sitting in pretty sad shape guys. I spent some time on Pinterest and I found these. 

Looks like I need to go dig through the hubbies wood scraps and tools and get to work. 

Have a great weekend!
