Friday Five

1.  I am very ready to be done with this cold.   I’m not sure where the kids picked this one up, but it’s been rough.  For all of us except the Daddy, who’s been so busy with work and school that he’s managed to avoid the germs.  At least for now. 

2.  Lucy loves hair stuff.  Headbands, ponytail holders, clips… all of it.  Special thanks to Aunt Jessica for feeding her addiction! 

3.  Anyone know how to prune roses?  We’ve got lovely pink roses blooming right now and I want to make sure they keep blooming every year.  How can I make sure this happens? 

4.  Here’s the picture we submitted with Henry’s preschool paperwork last week.  His first school portrait?  Sort of.  He met one of his teachers for next year when we were there and was fascinated by her.  Overheard today: “Hi, Teacher!  Should we go to the church and see my Jesus?”  (the preschool is at the church) 

5.  It’s ice cream season again!  Or at least, ice cream cone season.  I found these at the store this week.  World’s tiniest ice cream cones (the cone is less than 2” tall).  Perfect for little hands and also great for portion control (if I could just keep myself from eating more than one).  So cute!
