5x5 on Friday

One thing I miss posting here... my random lists of random things. So I'm going to remedy that by posting five lists of five things today.

.....

5 things on my To Do list:

• wash and fold at least two loads of laundry
• bake banana muffins with the very spotty bananas I set aside
• run on the treadmill while James is at his tennis lesson
• gather a few unwanted items to donate to charity event
• make some pages for my mom and dad's gift album

.....

5 charities our family will give to this holiday season

• Gloucester Food Cupboard via the boys' school
• the building fund for the preschool/daycare my boys used to go to
• Toy Mountain via the Ottawa Athletic Club (where I teach and the boys play squash and tennis)
• Snowsuit Fund
• other organizations, as chosen by the boys

.....

5 gifts I wish I could give this year

• a trip home for me and my sister in CA so we could visit with our parents and other sister
• increased self-confidence to my 8 year old
• increased self-control to my 10 year old
• a spa and shopping weekend for me and my BFF broads
• a neat, tidy and organized home for my family *sigh*

.....

5 additional layout ideas for my parents' gift album:

• personality page for Thomas, using school photo
• personality page for James, using his school photo
• beach photos from NS trip
• Santa visit 2010 (photo not yet taken)
• boys playing with Lego

.....

5 goals for 2011

• take more spin classes
• improve my serve & volleys so I can play tennis instead of just taking lessons
• complete another Layout a Week challenge with my friend, Nathalie
• try new recipes and involve the boys in cooking
• set date nights with Mike

.....

Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE making lists? :)

Oh, one more thing... I've already done one thing on my To Do list for today. Here's a quick gift album layout I made this morning.

Thanks for dropping by to visit. Have a great weekend, my friends!
