5QF: Five Question Friday

TGIF!!!! This week has been pretty long and I am excited for some weekend fun!

I know my posts have been a little sporatic the last week or so. I have A LOT in the "draft" phase. Lots of deep questions and thoughts. Not quite ready to dive into those (watch for some next week), instead I decided a light-hearted 5QF was in store for today.


1. What is your go to comfort food or sweet?

Comfort food can go two ways. If I am sick I either want chicken noodle soup or rice pilaf (strange, I know).

If I am just in a blah mood, I want chocolate and LOTS of it!

2. What is the most romantic place you've ever been to?

Umm....a few years ago Nick took me to Big Cedar Lodge in Branson and it was AH.MAZ.ING! It was November so it wasn't busy at all. It was peaceful and secluded and we relaxed all weekend long.

3. What is your favorite thing about fall/Halloween?

Ok, so no mean comments or emails necessary -- I am NOT a fan of Halloween at all! Don't get me wrong, I like to see all of the sweet costumes and creative ideas that people come up with...but that is about it.

The two things I love about fall are wearing sweatshirts and jeans and cooking yummy "home" meals. The meals that remind you of your childhood. And if I am able to cook for a big group of family or friends...well then my heart overflows!

4. How would you spend 24 hours alone?

Reading, journaling, blogging, sleeping, reading, sleeping, reading. I think you get the picture!
5. Does you husband bring you flowers? Are you the bring-me-flowers type of girl?
 
Yes, even after all of this time, he will still bring flowers home. He doesn't do it when the rest of the world does, like Valentine's day or our anniversary. He does it on random days and that is the best part.
 
No, I am not a girl that has to have flowers. I like them when I get them but it is not a deep desire. I just like little anythings that shows he cares about me and is thinking of me, especially when he takes out the trash! That is romantic!
 
Happy Friday! Enjoy the weekend!

QFT

I love QFT (quality family time)! This past weekend, we decided that is exactly what we needed and with no school on Friday, we were able to get out of town to enjoy our QFT!
We spent most of the weekend swimming in the indoor pool. It provided many hours of family fun! We played mini golf, rode go-karts, and ate some yummy food. Here are some fun pictures from the weekend!

Kickin' off our weekend with mini-golf

Not sure when she got so big

Our sweeties

Love this guy!

Oh. My. Word. Am I in trouble or what when she gets older!?

We still thrive on a night time routine.

Headed to dinner...and asking random strangers to take our picture!

Lots of silliness!
QFT, for us, doesn't always mean a mini-vacation...how does your family enjoy QFT?

Monkey See, Monkey Do

A sneak peek at our fun weekend (more on that tomorrow) and the craziness that is our lives!

This started out as an idea thought up by my sweet 6 year old!


Of course the 3 year old has to join in too!


And daddy was feeling left out, so he had to try it as well...


There is never a lack of laughter in our family!

"Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy." Psalm 126:2
