Let me just tell you that this weekend was really great. I mean really!
We went out to eat on Thursday night last week, because I put a plea out on facebook for my hubby to take us out a night ahead of schedule and it worked!! Go me! I just couldn't stand the thought of cooking Thursday night. So we ate mexican at our local mexican restaurant. And can I just tell you how great it is to have a mexican restaurant in my town? I love it, and they have the greatest punch ( ha Abby). We then headed back home to watch the SEC win big!!!
Friday night, I cooked, we ate, we played Clue, I came up with the answer but Stephen won because of where he was on the board (RATS!), and we went to bed.
Saturday, after sleeping in, I fixed biscuits, sausage and gravy and then we sat around the house. The twins were invited to a birthday party and Anna and I decided to go shopping. We spent 3 hours trying on clothes, walking the mall, and just having a great girlie time. When we got home we built a fire in the backyard fire-pit and roasted hot dogs and made s'mores while listening to the first half of the Arkansas game. The kids jumped on the trampoline, while Stephen and I sat gazing into the fire listening to the radio. Such a sweet time.
Yesterday was a LONG day at church, but a great day. We had our largest attendance in Sunday School in quite a while, we had a guest preacher, which meant my family got to sit together during the worship service. That never happens, and it was so good! We also had visitation and a funeral, fed the family of the deceased, cleaned up the kitchen, and then had potluck and business meeting. Then went to the funeral home for another visitation. I left my house at 9:35 am and got home at 7:15pm. As I wrote that, I realized that many of you are working longer hours than that everyday, so me being at church for almost 10 hours isn't much. Sorry about that, it just seemed like a really long day!
I pray you have a great week!

WOW! Sounds like a really busy, but enjoyable weekend!

I have a question for the sisters! Have you ever thought about doing a Q & A here on your blog? I think it would be something fun for you both, so we readers can see both of your answers.

Ok, so the real reason I'm asking is because my girls have not been getting along much lately, and I pray they have a great relationship like you two one day, and I have tons of questions for you myself, lol. As you know they are 5 years apart. Help?! :o

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'
