five for friday

1. we had a busy week....the normal stuff plus two concerts and one to go. those little extra things can make a week seem some much more hectic.

ellie and her friend bri after their chorus concert.

2. elfie has been up to some silly stuff around here.

3. we took our christmas card picture tonight. here is what jake thought about that.

4. we have been battling colds around here. mr. weesner battled a chest cold for a couple weeks. then last week i was home sick running a fever. three out of the four kids have had a cough. the oils have been out in full force. RC to help ease the cough. eucalyptus, myrtle, and cypress to help with congestion. cedarwood to help get everyone to relax and go to sleep. lemon, citrus fresh, and thieves to clean the air. orange to put everyone in a good mood. i really do think all the oily-ness helps. instead of getting super sick things stay mild and we are able to fight it off. plus it doesn't seem like things just spread person to person. call me crazy, but i love my oils.

5. current favorite christmas movies.......polar express and the santa clause. elf is the all time best, but these other two are hits this year.

happy friday y'all.
