Bird Poop and More

Only my Rand would get pooped on by a bird in the middle of Cat Country! We spent the afternoon at the zoo and we had been there no longer than 15 minutes when I hear, "You've got to be kidding me. A bird has just crapped all over my shoulder!" Only Rand. He has the worst luck for someone who doesn't believe in luck.
It was nice to get away from the house and the stress of moving, finding a new job, etc. We went to the zoo one last time. Most everytime we go to the zoo I take a picture in this egg. We figured we probably wouldn't be back there until we were pushing a stroller in a couple of years, so we took full advantage of our freedom today.

We then ate at one of our favorite Italian places in midtown and came back home for one last cleaning. We saved the bedroom for last. We have large and dark furniture in our room and a 64 inch wide arch window. I always dread cleaning it because it is dust central. It is the one room in the house that I just tidy up most of the time and don't deep clean. Well, tonight Rand brought in the shop vac and I got under the bed to get all the dust bunnies. I, like an idiot, put the hose on backwards and everything in the vac blew out the other hole. The room was covered in dust. I couldn't figure out why I was coughing so bad all the sudden and where the sonic salt wrappers came from. Rand then informed me I had just blew out all the trash from his truck and my car! Anyway, after cleaning up that huge mess we are now living in a model home. Really, it is insanely clean. I am a clean freak and this is way too clean for me. It better sale fast!

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'
