Five Friday Favourites at Five

1. Honest conversations. Without censoring, just honest and open conversations.
   
2. Monkey's love of Lego. Especially when he's playing with the Harry Potter minifigure and yells "Abracadabra" and it sounds a lot like "Avada Kedavra". He's not seen the movie nor had the books read to him yet so it's an accident but it makes my geek-mum heart all squishy warm.
   
3. Having time to myself in the evenings. Although I do wish I had been slightly more productive. Too much time surfing not enough time writing and reading...
   
4. Uncle Rocket Scientist arrives in five days. To say that Monkey is excited is a slight understatement.  He has all these ideas of things we have to do before he gets here and for when he's here. I have decided to list them all so that I never forget how excited he is.... (feel free to skip.)

5. This music video - even though it won't play on Blogger (thanks VEVO) it really resonated with me this week.
