{Five on Friday}

Linking up with Darci + friends for a short and sweet {Five on Friday!}

{one} My son’s school is always early on celebrating holidays with class parties, which keeps me on my toes! This weekend, we I put together Valentines for his class party. Every so often, I catch him trying to tear into one, so I know I’m on the right track with these for his toddler class! {Pin here.} They say, “So glad we’re in the same school,” and I paired them with individual cupcake-flavored Goldfish bags. We also made our Valentines Day brownies early so that I could share with a coworker!

{two} I have one lesson a year where I play my piccolo for my Kindergarten students while we read “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.” (In the story, he plays a flute.) Yesterday, I won over my preschool class with it! But now that I travel to classrooms, I have to be much quieter and subtle about it. I printed sheet music for “Let it Go” from Frozen this year, to switch it up from the normal Mario Brothers theme that I normally play. {No photo this time because it’s at school.}

{three} When we visited Downtown Disney a few weeks ago, we went in Once Upon a Toy, where you can fill a bag with Mr. Potato Head parts for $20. I couldn’t justify a bag, but we did pick out a handful of Disney-themed accessories for my son’s Mr. Potato Head, intending to pay the “per-piece” fee for not buying the bag. Our cashier was so sweet and rang everything up for only $2 total! We played with our new friend when we were snowed in this week!

{four} Yes, we enjoyed another snow day and more 2-hour delays this week due to another snow storm here in Virginia. My Stitch Fix arrived on the snow day, so I had fun trying on clothes while my son took a very short nap! Although I loved 4/5 items, I think I’m only going to get a few items from this box. I want to stick to what my credit will cover. Much better than my last box and about par with how much I loved my first box! Wanna try this service? Create your style profile!

{five} Just as one of our favorite cloth diaper retailers, Abby’s Lane, closed her brick-and-mortar store (but kept her online store with free shipping and a stellar rewards program!), a small cloth diaper store opened nearby! We checked it out this weekend and enjoyed talking to the owner. I registered for the Great Cloth Diaper Change event in April. She does not carry the brand of diapers we use on our son yet, but I am so excited that a new color, “Hummingbird,” is being released in our favorite diaper next week just as we needed to replace a couple of his aplix diapers where the velcro is losing its stickiness. (Orrrr we may just replace the velco itself with snaps, but I need a good excuse to buy this color!)

Happy Friday! Looking forward to two trips out of town this weekend!
