The weekend is here! and an Anna story too

Being a stay-at-home mom I don't always care about a weekend. To me, it is just another two days in the week. I'm still cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner(except on Friday night), doing laundry and disciplining children.

Same thing, 7 days a week!

But today seems a bit different. I don't really know why. It just does.

Today we started out with french toast. Daniel suggested it, Samuel helped make it, it was a good time.

And then I have a hair appointment at 12:30.

Is it a bad thing when the lady that cuts your hair calls and asks when you would like an appointment? It is isn't it? I'm not real good at seeing the signs of bad hair until its too late.
Like Sunday mornings.
I always notice that my hair is out of shape, too long, and gray on Sunday morning. So I have asked Suzi if she would please let me know when I (or anyone else in the family) need a haircut. And she did.
And I love her for it!
Love.
Her.

After the haircut and style I will then proceed to sweat by the pool.
Well, we actually have a pretty good set up at the pool. I can sit with my legs in the sun, my face in the shade and a fan blowing on the back of my head.
Heaven is going to be a lot like this. I just know it!

And after the pool, we are heading to the bigger town (but not the big town) to eat with the in-laws.
Not all of the in-laws, just my in-laws.
They are coming for the weekend to watch my angelic children while Stephen and I have a conference at church. Isn't that nice?

It is, but it will take 2 days to get them undone from the grandparents visit.
I don't know what you grandparents do to the grandchildren but it takes a good 48 hours to get it undone!

And all of that is just today! Saturday and Sunday have yet to play out! Its going to be a good time. I'm excited. I have a smile on my face (that is for Mom and Abby). And am ready and able to do whatever comes my way!

Now for the Anna story:

David reminded me of something Anna said quite a while back, maybe a couple of years ago. I don't know if I shared it with you before but I will now.

It had been raining for a couple of days and Anna was tired of it. So tired that she said this:
"I'm going to tell Jesus that if He doesn't make it stop raining I'm not going to give Him any candy when He comes down to get us!"

Maybe the reason Jesus is tarrying (that is for my friends Tracy, Dana, Jill and Nathan!), is because He doesn't like the candy that is being offered.

Hershey come up with something good soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great weekend!

I love that great story from Anna. Have a great time with Stephen. Do your in-laws like to watch other kids? Me and Big D haven't been out alone in forever! ;)

I really enjoyed reading this post! I can relate to the weekend days being the same as the week days. I love Anna's comment.

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

Pedicure Pledge

Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of the year again. Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: As a member of the Sandal Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps. I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there. If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back in to place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it. No matter how much it hurts. I will
