Rainy Day Ramblings

It is a rainy day here in southeast Arkansas. Sure wish I had some cute rain boots! I should have asked for some for Christmas. Why do I never think of the right things to put on my Christmas list?? Are you like that? My Christmas list is always so generic. Sweater, shirt, necklace, something cute for my house. Cute rain boots should have been on the list! Maybe for my birthday??!!

Anyway, enough of Christmas! This is February. Can you believe it? January just flew right by. It didn't seem like it at the time of course. It never does. Its a lot like being a parent. People always tell you that your kids are going to grow up so fast. That one day they'll be babies and the next day they'll be graduating from high school. What they forget to tell you is the day to day struggles can seem like one day lasts 18 years!

Go here to see last year's birthday post for our Aunt Janet (TBEO). Today is her birthday and we both wish we were with her to celebrate it. I would probably make her a cake, a King Tut cake! (She made me a Raggedy Ann cake for my birthday one year and I thought it was a King Tut cake! She went to so much trouble for me, and I didn't even recognize Raggedy Anna. But in my defense, we were studying King Tut in school.)

Oh, the rambling. It seems that is all I can do lately. No cute succinct posts from me. You'll have to wait until tomorrow to get one of those from Abby. She can string some words together! You should hear her talk!! HA!

Since I don't have any cute boots to play in the rain with, I'm going to go make a cup of coffee in Stephen's Keurig and add some hot chocolate to it (Yummy!!) and sit by the window and look at the rain. I really enjoy rain. Not a lot of it, but one day I can handle!

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
