Santa Is Watching

Henry has learned so much about Christmas at his faith-based school. He is learning about the real meaning of Christmas, yet he is also learning the whimsical fun of Christmas. It is so true when they say from out of the mouth the heart speaks. Henry is an open book and it is so entertaining.

Henry will often say "Santa Watch'n" when he gets in trouble. He will also see a picture of Santa and say, "Santa Caus com'n town". When I ask him what Santa says he goes, "Ho Ho Ho. Merry Istmis"


Because Henry is a feisty little two year old boy, he sometimes has to go to Mrs. Debbie's office at school for misbehaving. (He has not been in 2 weeks and I am such a proud Mama!) She is the director and loved by all. I think he sometimes wants to go see her so he acts ugly on purpose! (they all go to her office...so don't sit there at your screen thinking my Henry is a hellion!) Anyway, he always feels ashamed when he goes, hangs his head, covers his eyes with his hands, shakes his head, cries and says "Deb-E Obis". It makes my heart break and laugh at the same time!!



So, Santa called our house the other night (My Daddy...he has done it for all the grands thus far. It is presh!) and Henry decided to tell all! I put it on speaker phone and wish I could have recorded it. Santa asked Henry if he has been a good boy and that sweet child of mine tucked his head down in the phone and quickly said in a low tone "Deb-E obis" as clear as a bell. I could hear Mrs. Claus laughing the background at the North Pole and Randall and I were in stitches in our den. Henry never smiled and Santa remained composed through it all.

Santa then told him he shouldn't cry when he sits in his lap like he did over the weekend. Henry quickly said "Mama Want Down!"....that is what he screamed while in Santa's lap last weekend!!! It was hilarious. My Henry is a hoot.

So, Santa is watching and Henry is making sure he does not keep any secrets from the jolly old man so he will come visit our house next week!

Santa Claus IS coming to town, sweet Henry!

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
