Last Full Week of January

Somehow, I skipped my Weekly Highlights post last week! I think I’ve decided to post it on Sundays, after the week has been completed! I’m going to do it a little differently than usual –  I’m also just going to do what the title says – hit on the highlights of the week! Don’t forget to link up your posts from the week at the bottom!

I was so happy to see Silas helping Titus with his batting. Even though it was a cold and wet day, he still helped him out. They’re 2 years and 1 month apart and have always been the best of friends – until lately. I’m sure it’s just the 13-year-old and 11-year-old maturity differences, but it’s been really making me sad to hear all of the arguing they’ve been doing. To see them outside, laughing and having a good time together with zero prompting from me, was a big highlight of my week!

The boys also got much needed haircuts today! Rod’s aunt usually cuts their hair, but she couldn’t do it until mid-February, and we couldn’t wait that long. I woke them up this morning and drove them to town to the barber shop on Main Street. It was our first visit there, but the barber was really fast and efficient! I think we may be going back there next time, too. 

Zeke is always good for his haircuts.

We had Cowboy Church on Thursday. My dad has been preaching, and they have different people come and sing. This week it was a couple from our church, and I love to hear them sing together! We ate finger foods afterwards. I brought tuna fish sandwiches and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. It was a really fun evening.

My mom came over to visit on Friday and took Zeke and Zoey to her house for a little while. I got to clean up a bit, go to the church to get the fellowship hall tables decorated for February, and then I ran to town. I went to Wal Mart and picked up a few things I needed before picking up Titus from baseball practice. It was nice to have a few hours to myself without the two little ones!

We did I is for Insect this week for Zeke’s kindergarten, and Week 5 in ABC Jesus Loves Me for Zoey’s Tot School. You can read more about that by clicking the pictures below, if you’re interested.

All in all, it was a quiet week, but I really enjoyed it. How was your week? Let me know in the comments. Link up any post from your week below!
