Happy Mothers Day!


Happy Mothers Day!
My day started before 7:00. The boys all came in my room with cards. David and Daniel made their cards, and Samuel bought his card (but forgot to sign it, I didn't say anything, no need to make him feel bad.)

They bought me a purse last week at a yard sale down the street. It had never been used, so it was in excellent condition and they got it for only 50 cents, so it was quite a deal. I will take it to church with me today. It is cute green paisley and you know how I love paisley!!!

After the presents and cards were over with, Daniel came back in the room with a tie around his neck, a towel over his arm and his civil war hat on and wanted to know what I wanted for breakfast-these were my choices: cereal, poptart, or marshmallows. I chose cereal with a side of marshmallow. I mean how could I turn down marshmallows for breakfast?!

My plate came and I got 4 marshmallows-I hit the mother load!!! Have you ever eaten cereal while there are pickles on your plate? It is a strange thing. The smell of pickles invading your nose while you are eating sweet captain crunch. (Last time they brought me breakfast in bed I had olives on my plate.) My plate also had pickles on it, and in the pickles I found the sweetest message. Can you figure the message out? Some of you can I know!
The numbers 1 4 3 mean I love you. The 1 is for I(one letter), the 4 is for love (4 letters) and the 3 is for you(3 letters). What a sweet thing for my boys to do. I have never received a message in pickles before, but this one was really special. My Grandmother Cookie would have been so proud of my children for doing this for me today. I believe she was the maker of the 1 4 3 in our family. She was a great example of a mother. Loving, kind and caring and so much more, I miss her today.
It is a good day here, I hope it is a good day where you are.
Happy Mother's Day Mom. I love you!!!
Happy Mother's Day Mamaw. I love you!!!
Happy Mother's Day to my aunts. I love you!!!
Happy Mother's Day to my sister, you aren't a mother yet, but you have the potential!!! I love you!!!
Julie

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 p...

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...
