Friday 5: Celebrating Simplicity

5 simple happenings from the week worth celebrating.

Here's to two-wheeled bike riding.

(Tired of seeing her struggle due to lack of space on our sidewalks, I packed up her bike and went to school, where she could stretch her legs a little bit. She took off on the first try and hasn't stopped yet. Atta Girl, Vaughnie Bell!)

Here's to not giving up and working hard.

(This picture is terrible, I know, but it's the only one I snapped. It was FRIGID out and I was ridiculously underdressed, so my hands stayed in my pockets. Vaughn started with a new soccer team this week and I was proud of how well she did at practice. I haven't seen her cheeks so red in a long time!)

Here's to technology.

(I love watching Vance play and I've missed more games than I'd like to, due to 8:00 start times on school nights. It's way too late to keep Vaughn up, so Justin keeps me in the game with text updates and pictures.)

Here's to breaking all the fashion rules and not caring.

(Someone, ahem, forgot about the dress code for Vance's string concert and he had to wear last year's pants. (At least I know he's growing!) In a daring move, he paired his high waters with purple elite's and blue shoes and didn't care one bit. It was fun watching him play and he did a great job.)

Here's to Sunset Beach.

(That's the name of the limited edition Method spray from Target. I picked it up last week and am loving how it smells. I'm super-picky when it comes to smells, so I was quite surprised! Check it out next time you're there!)
