A Daybook Entry, it's a wordy one

Tuesday March 4, 2014

In the great outdoors...COLD! It has sleeted and iced in all parts of the state, but here we just have cold. I40 and I55 are at a standstill with miles of trucks and cars that can't get thru. It's crazy!

Within our walls...The curtains I spoke of a couple of weeks ago are finally hanging on our windows. I love them. I even hung Anna's curtains in her room. We used Command hooks and it made it so easy. No hammers, no nails.

A heart of thanksgiving...

A heart of prayer...A friend of mine lost her father today. He was in a car accident Sunday and suffered three heart attacks since then. He was the grandfather of one of D&D's best buddy's. The loss is huge. He was both father and grandfather to their friend and D&D loved him so much. We went over today, just a little bit after he died to spend time with their friend. It was good for all three of them.

Random observations...Lemons in vases make me happy. I'm using them to decorate and they make me happy.

My silly children...
Enough said!

Thoughts from the kitchen...Things are going much better in the kitchen. Tonight we're having spaghetti, much to the sadness of Daniel, he doesn't like it at all. 

What I'm reading...I don't know the name of the book, but I do want to say I've started reading my Kindle again. I missed it.

Sounds of the moment...The Rocky song. Rocky 1-5 are on tv today, we may not leave the room.

What I'm wearing...black fleece pullover, jeans, and brown socks. Don't judge, the brown socks matched what I wore to work, I changed tops but not socks.

On the calendar...Samuel has two games and a tournament this week. We are so very ready for this! 

A favorite thing from last week...Samuel had a scrimmage game Thursday with another school, he told us not to come, but of course, we went. It was just the varsity team playing (we think Samuel will play some for the varsity team and the JV team), Samuel hadn't played and we had stayed for about an hour and a half, it was cold, and David was sick so we went home. We left and he played two innings. I felt like a horrible parent. I wrote that last sentence in my journal. I told Stephen that he had played two innings and I wasn't there(he was at work) and he said  "you're a horrible parent!" He didn't mean it at all, and I knew then that I wasn't a horrible parent. I loved how that moment with Stephen made me feel better.

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...
