Feeling of Home

I was reading one of my favorite blogs and she was writing about a few of her favorite things. So I decided to share with you some of our favorite things! This is a list compiled by me and the children about what we like most about home.

Dora- Anna
The feeling of home- Samuel
The food- Samuel & David
The neighbors- David
Everything (even the backyard)!- Daniel
Sitting on the couch with mom- Samuel, David, Daniel
Cool air- Julie
Having company over- Samuel

Isn't the list funny? I don't know what I was expecting, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Dora! I don't know what the "feeling of home" is, but doesn't it sound warm, cozy, homey, and comfy? I think that was the answer I was looking for. That one and food!! ( If you only knew how they complain about some of the things I make them eat.) Home is where the heart is and I'm glad my guys hearts are at my home!
It isn't easy making home a fun place to be. I feel like I yell at them all the time, but I'm glad to know they still love being home. We should revisit this post in 10 years, and re-survey the kids and see if their answers are anywhere close to these. I doubt it!!!

Jules, I hope my babies are as sweet and innocent as the fab 4. I love what home means to them and it is so obvious they love home by watching them when I visit. I want to give them kisses right now!!!!!

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

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
