Daybook Entry

In the great outdoors...A beautiful, sunny, warmish day. Beautiful.

Within our walls...Yelling. I'm just keeping it real. Not everyone in here is having their best day. Actually no one is having their best day,

A heart of thanksgiving...I'm thankful for a bargain. I bought Anna 2 dresses, 4 shirts, a pair of shorts, a swim suit, a skirt, a Build A Bear bed, and an American Girl potty for $42 at a consignment sale. Score!

(Of course she has it in the bathroom)

A heart of prayer...I know I say it every week but raising teenage boys is hard. Hard!

Random Observations...I crossed the Arkansas River today and was reminded how much I love the water. I don't like being in the water, just looking at the water.

Thoughts from the kitchen...I worked at the consignment sale yesterday and texted Daniel to see if he wanted to cook supper. Of course he did, so he made BBQ chicken and carrots. It was good!

On my bookshelf...Sadly this week all I've read are blogs.

Projects...Beacuse of our crazy schedule I'm just now getting to paint Daniel's desk. 

Sounds of the moment...The yelling has stopped and now it's just the tv and washing machine making noise.

What I'm wearing...chevron shirt, black cardigan, jeans, and Stephen's socks. I don't have any black ones, so I had to wear his today (and every other time I need black socks)

A favorite thing from last week...It wasn't last week, but Monday. Samuel played his first full ball game in quite a few years. I loved it. The first out he got was tagging one of his old buddies out on 2nd base. We loved it!

On the calendar...A ball tournament tonight thru Saturday, a trip to Little Rock to get a bike, more ball games next week, and laundry. Lots of laundry!

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
