Looney Tunes




Henry shakes his booty and sings "Turkey in my belly time. Turkey in my belly time" and it is the cutest thing.  He is so ready to go to Aunt Babs' house and eat turkey this week. He asks everyday, "Today we go to Aunt Barbara's and eat turkey?" He also thinks Santa Claus is going to be there. He is a touched confused. I love my Henry Patton. He makes me smile. Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping with my Babs is one of my favorite things. I am itching to get across the bridge and get the fun started!




I switched my gym membership from crossfit to the regular ole gym. I had a little injury and it has caused me to step back from the heavy lifting and such for a while. I actually love my early mornings on the eliptical machine. I have this song on my playlist. I found myself singing it outloud this morning. I looked in the mirror wall in front of me to find the trainer and 2 ladies he was working with grinning. I am sure it was not very pretty, but I am glad it made them smile before daybreak. It makes me smile every time also. I must admit I also have Beyonce and Rihanna on my playlist for the steep incline and high resistance portion of my workout....this girl has got to have something loud and mean to get her through it! (I do try not to sing those songs outloud though)




I just LOVE this version of this song. Bob Seager's version is my all time fave, but this is a close second. Henry has been watching the corn out of this DVD lately. We had it on while we took the trees out of the attic last night to fluff and such. I just sort of laughed thinking about watching Christmas Vacation or listening to adult pop Christmas tunes while prepping for Christmas...and now it is this. I love this little time. I hope to never forget these precious little years with my Veggie Tales loving boy!




And as you know, if you have read our blog at Christmas...this is my song! I actually have it blaring in my office already. My work girls are sweet to let me rock out to it before Thanksgiving. There is something about Dolly & Kenny singing that makes everything rosey.



We are getting so excited about turkey in my belly time this week, black Friday shopping, decorating our home, birthdays galore and Jesus' birthday celebrations. Bring on the weight gain, the drowsy days, a full camera card, and all the grins and giggles that come with it. Festive fun is among us!

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...
