A {Glorious} Sound Bytes of the Week

IT’S FRIDAY!

We are shouting it across Iowa City today, because we are so happy about it.

Mostly due to the fact that I have the day off…actually not just today, but Monday too! So awesome! I truly needed a break. Just some time to get my house in order, pull some weeds, finally buy some mums, download “Hey Soul Sister” for E…you know, those things you need to do, but never find the time to do ’em.

So this morning I instituted a “just you and me” breakfast. E has been so good lately…getting dressed without freaking out, putting on shoes and socks with being yelled at asked, and he even cleared the kitchen table the other night…holy cow! Is that my kid? As a reward we went to breakfast this morning just the two of us, and took a walk around downtown IC. The weather is PERFECT! And the leaves…oh the leaves. BEAUTIFUL!

When I dropped him off at school, he was so excited to tell all his friends about his adventure. Oh, and show off his leaves.

Now I’m at my favorite coffee shop sitting outside with a Pumpkin Spice Latte and soaking up the ambiance…ahhhh….relaxation at it’s best.

But I couldn’t forget to share this week’s Sound Bytes before a doze off into my beautiful day coma.

3. “I think our RV is old, because it has some rusty parts that might fall off on the bumpy road.”
It’s not old, just vintage…right?

2. “I’m going to call it family day.”
E’s new word for when the whole family embarks on an adventure.

1. “Hey, Soul Sister ain’t that Mister Mister…” 
E decided to share his musical talents with downtown Iowa City this morning. I think it made a couple of people smile.

So, there you have it this week’s Sound Bytes.

What did you hear this week?

Well, I’m off to enjoy the rest of the day. B2 is heading to Chicago tomorrow to see Carrie Fisher LIVE, I had pondered a family trip day to Chicago, but I’m all adventured out for a while…maybe next time.

What are your plans for the weekend?

Whatever it is hopefully you will “score” the perfect Fall day.
