Five on Friday

I can't really tell if this week flew by because of how busy I was or if it dragged? Ya ever get to Friday and be like wow, thank goodness you are here!

Anyway, here are some of the highlights from this past week! It was Joey's birthday week, as you can tell this should prolly be called the Joey Five on Friday this week!

one. I meant to post about this book a few weeks back, and just completely forgot. I started reading it while in Jamaica, but with moving I had packed it up. When we got to the new house, this is one of the first things I unpacked, since I couldn't wait to dive back in. Friends, it's so good.. I couldn't put it down, and the bags and dark circles under my eyes would prove it. 

Book 

From the Back Cover

The mesmerizing debut about a coolly manipulative woman and a wealthy “golden couple,” from a stunning new voice in psychological suspense

Amber Patterson is fed up. She’s tired of being a nobody: a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background. She deserves more—a life of money and power, like the one blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted. 

To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne—a socialite and philanthropist—and her real-estate mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale. Amber’s envy could eat her alive... if she didn’t have a plan. 

Amber uses Daphne’s compassion to insinuate herself into the family’s life—the first step in a meticulous scheme to undermine her. Before long, Amber is Daphne’s closest confidante, traveling to Europe with the Parrishes and their lovely young daughters, and growing closer to Jackson. But a skeleton from her past may destroy everything that Amber has worked toward, and if it is discovered, her well-laid plan may fall to pieces.

With shocking turns and dark secrets that will keep you guessing until the very end, The Last Mrs. Parrish is a fresh, juicy, and utterly addictive thriller from a diabolically imaginative talent.

two. Monday was Joey's second birthday, and boy did that year fly by! To celebrate I took the day off and went to the local zoo, out to lunch and then played outside in his new playhouse since it was close to 80 degrees!

three.  As you may have noticed in all my pictures of Joey lately, he is so into wearing backwards hats. I caught this picture the other night of him sitting at the island counter and he looked like such a big kid. Everyday he gets smarter and wiser and is now putting together sentences. It scares me yet makes me so happy to see him growing up!

four. He is also soooo into tractors. would prefer to play with them then anything else, and it doesn't help my parents got him his own motorized one to play with. This kid never wants to come inside anymore. On Wednesday night we took a trip to Lowe's to get some plants, and I purposly parked in the garden section so we didn't have to pass the John Deere tractors parked outside. Welp, of course he spotted them from across the parking lot. We went to just look, but he had to climb on it and then I had to physically pull him off kicking and screaming back to the car. life is hard.

five. Thursday at Joey's school was an art gallery of some of their projects they've worked on this week. When I first saw his art, I laughed because it looked like boobs to me, then I read the caption its actually a cat cookie cutter.. sure, whatever you say!

Hope everyone had a great week!
