Daybook

I know these aren't the most fun posts, but they're fun for me to look back on. Thanks for indulging me!


In the great outdoors...It is so cold!! It was 30 degrees outside this morning and has snowed a bit in Little Rock overnight. Tomorrow nights football game is going to be brutal!

With thanksgiving,,lIts warm inside. Last week our heater was out and it was a little nippy inside. So, we're very thankful for our heater in these really cold temperatures!

Within our walls...We have been so busy the last couple of weeks. It seems like I've hardly been at home during the day. Hopefully things will slow down next week.

A heart of prayer...As you probably know, Samuel is dating a sweet girl who lost her mother in February.  It breaks my heart to think of her being 18 and a senior in high school without her mother. I pray for her a lot. I cry for her a lot also.

Random observations... I'm going heavy on the random on this one. I really dislike washing my hands in a public bathroom. When I raise them up to get a paper towel to dry them, the water from my hands runs down my arms and in the winter it makes me really cold. See, random!

My silly children...Stephen loves magic tricks and has shared this joy with Daniel and David. They are always shuffling cards and asking if I want to see a magic trick. They're getting pretty good, maybe I should hire them out for party's.

Thoughts from the kitchen...Luckily tonight I don't have to cook. The Pregnancy Resource Center is having their banquet tonight and I am helping with it, the kids are serving, and Stephen is working. Nothing is going on in the kitchen tonight. But....Abby shared her bread starter with me, and one of these days I'm supposed to feed it. I'm hoping she will tell me what to do soon.

What I'm reading...I have gotten a lot of free books for my Kindle lately. I'm reading one of those now. It's slow going.

Projects...

Sounds of the moment...The boys are doing magic tricks, Anna is watching tv, and I have loads of laundry in the washer and dryer.

What I'm wearing...I worked today so I'm wearing jeans, my favorite Sanuck's, hot pink shirt, and black cardigan.

A favorite thing from this week...We had Henry last weekend. He was so good, and we had so much fun with him! He even got to go on the football field with us after the game. He wanted to know if the football players were nice. I guess thats a good question after spending 2 1/2 hours watching them hit each other!

He is just so cute!

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
