Happy things to end the week with

Today is Remembrance Day. My kindergarten class painted poppies yesterday and we attended a very moving assembly in the school gym {several hundred kids singing a song about peace was enough to bring me to tears}. Nobody got stabbed with their poppy pin either, so I'd call that a success!

Because Remembrance Day is on a Friday this year, it means we get a long weekend.  I'm so grateful for that. I could use some time to get some things done, and some more time to just do nothing. I want to get cozy and relax, and since I don't seem to be getting anywhere near enough sleep lately, maybe spend some extra time in bed... Anyway, here are a few other things, besides that extra day off, that have made me smile at the end of this busy week:

 Fab holiday mugs at Starbucks

Pretty autumn colours on my drive home

My little superhero {forgive the blurry cell phone photo}

The snowmen and Santas on display at Homesense. I'm a sucker for a cute snowman.

And a few more, for good measure... * Getting my partner for the Cold Hands, Warm Hearts Swap. She lives in a town called North Pole! Can you believe it? * Drinking a gingerbread latte with Kim {I was in Victoria and she was in L.A., but it was at pretty much the exact same time, so that counts as being together, right?} *Finding the perfect advent calendar {it's a London scene, complete with Big Ben!} * Having a conversation in French with Dylan! * Putting on my pajamas and slippers, getting under the covers, and watching Becoming Jane.

Have you got a happy list this Friday? I'd love to hear it. The more happy the better, right? So please do share, and have a wonderful weekend, wherever you may be.

PS: It's the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year. At 11:11 {and 11 seconds} today I am totally making a wish. And I know exactly what it will be.
