Five on Friday!

Happy Friday friends!!

1. You all know I love some arts and crafts! Michael's has been having a free craft for kids every day this week! On Monday, we went and Ella made this cute little mermaid.

Today, I think we are going to go back and make slime! 

2. Now that I'm back on Facebook (yes, I still hate it), that means I'm back in all of my groups...and look what I found for FREE in one of them!!

Yes, a huge amazing train table, with tracks and trains and everything. The best part is, it wouldn't fit in my car, so the mom was sweet enough to bring it to my house for me! Amazing. My kids are totally obsessed and haven't stopped playing with it since we got it on Monday!

3. Tuesday was free cone day at Ben and Jerry's!

We just got Lucas a plain cone, since he doesn't like ice cream! Ella had strawberry and I had chocolate brownie ice cream! So yummy!

4. Ella hit a BIG milestone yesterday....she finally figured out how to pump on the swings!!! 

She was very proud of herself and I am so glad I don't have to stand by the swings pushing her the whole time we are at the playground!

5. I've been following along with Emily Ley's Ruthless Declutter Challenge this week. Monday was kitchens and oh my goodness was that liberating. It took me my kids' entire nap time (2 hours) but I am so happy I made myself do it! I took 4 stuffed trash bags to the Goodwill, and then threw away probably another 4-5 full trash bags. 

{this was everything that went to Goodwill}

A few "after" pics...

I slacked off the last few days, mostly because I had decluttered those areas in January (closets, bedrooms and bathrooms), but I'm back at it today to clean out our laundry room, which is a total disaster right now. Wish me luck!

Have a great weekend!!
