I was out for a power walk last night and was thinking about my favorite things for the week. I concluded that I must mention my new socks. I could not find a good picture of them, but they are Nike socks with arch support and they wick away the sweat ( They are called Dri-Fit). I just love them, actually if I could I would wear them to school, but since they are white they would look a bit silly with my black dress shoes! 🙂 They are just that comfortable!
Last week was a special sports dress down day at school. Here is one of my favorite pictures of my son, hubby and I all wearing our Phillies gear. It’s so fun that we all “go” to the same school!
The Inventor had her cross country banquet this week. I did the slide show for the banquet. The latest version of iPhoto has a really cool and EASY theme option called “Shatter” that transitions the pictures automatically. It was so simple to put the slide show together, and it was a hit with the parents and kids!
My son got these sweet new shoes for basketball season! And they were purchased by the easiest shopping method I know. They are the “team” shoe, so he got a huge discount on a quality shoe. I sent in an order form 2 weeks ago, and he got them at practice last night. The coach handed them out before practice so they could all wear them. I loved it, he came home a sweaty basketball player with cool shoes. I never had to take him out shopping and trying on shoes for hours. Did I mention that these shoes are HUGE, size 13….. they fit great!
And last, I am heading out the door to school and it’s fruit and doughnut day in the faculty room. It’s those little treats in life that seem to go a long way! 🙂
How was your week dear friends??? For more Friday Fave Five please stop by Susanne’s and you must also check out her picture of some wonderful homemade spaghetti sauce!

I think you should have worn your socks!
I loved when my daughter got team shoes… so much easier..
You are reminding of my teacher days – My kids and I all went to the same school – not hubby though. He’s a pastor. Friday was treat day. My son played on the basketball team and we had such a time fitting him with sneakers – and they were so expensive! I wish we had the same deal as you did – what a relief.
I also did the slide shows at our school – but I never heard of iPhoto – I’m going to check it out now.
I love Nike socks. Never tried the dry fit. I will have to check those out. Cute philly gear…your family is so cute.
Wow a size 13? He isn’t even done growing. Yikes. My hubs wears a 14…hard to find shoes.
Happy Friday my friend.

Those socks sound wonderful. I’ll have to look for some.
I’ve never used iPhoto – maybe I should try.
Size 13? Wowsa.
Fruit and doughnuts–I’d be all over the doughnuts. 🙂
love your list…those socks sound good for hiking?? yes??
that is so cool that you all work/go to same school….my Courtney would be mortified if I taught at her school tho…guess it’s good I do kindergarten :)and a “special” one at that 🙂
talk to you soon…yes am a bit better…..thanks for your comment and prayers….

I’m going to have to look for those socks! A few years ago I bought a 3 pack of athletic socks that I didn’t realize at the time HAD arch support. Of course the minute I put the first pair ON I knew it and they were wonderful! However… my daughters discovered them and they disappeared and when I went back to Lady Foot Locker to try to find them again I couldn’t and the sales clerk didn’t know a THING about them. So now I’m going on a HUNT! LOL! (I had started to think they were in my imagination!)
I used to LOVE when my kids and I all went out the door together in the morning heading to the same place. I miss that.

New socks are definitely worth mentioning. And prayer walks are indeed a blessing.
Have a great weekend!

That’s neat that you all go to the same school!
The socks sound great.
Thankfully my son’s coach took them shoe-shopping last year — and thankfully his basketball shoes still fit this year!

I love team shoes, too. It’s so nice when the coach does everything and I just have to send the check … course that part hurts sometimes …
Hope you enjoyed your fruit and doughnut day!

You had a great week!
Ahhh, go for it, wear your socks!
Fun that you guys were all matching for your dress down day!
You guys look great in that picture. I can’t believe your son wears a size 13 shoe, thats huge!
I have those socks! You’re right. They are incredibly comfy to wear. Love the picture of you guys! Hope you have a great weekend!
Great picture.
Thanks for stopping by. I also hate to unload the dishwasher. I cannot explain that either, but you are right-it is a deplorable job!!
Have a great week. Blessings.
I love my New Balance socks! Great FFFs this week!
Have a good weekend!
