This Friday seemed to take forever to get here — we’ve been dealing with rain and colds (bleh) and, interestingly, a praying mantis that taken up residence on our screen slider (been here all week and decided to lay her eggs yesterday). Still, we managed some good times, and I have the proof.
Some things that made me happy:

Keeping our streets clean

Snuggles

Fun at the fire station

Proud of the handprint ghost shirts they made

This needs no explanation

We share a love of Sir Elton
And our sole reader submission this week . . . Thanks so much, Christina from MI!!!

A collage for my son’s birthday of his first year. He will be 1 on Nov. 2nd.
Until next week…
Fridays on Raising Wild Things are Shiny, Happy, Sparkly, Feel-Good Fridays! Since parenting can sometimes suck the life out of me, I wanted to do these posts as reminders of the good, the great things that happened during the week amid all the crazy, exhausting, sometimes frustrating, sometimes maddening, sometimes head-exploding moments that seem to linger in my memory and can put me in a mommy funk. What makes you happy? Please share!
