The weekend is here! and an Anna story too

Being a stay-at-home mom I don't always care about a weekend. To me, it is just another two days in the week. I'm still cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner(except on Friday night), doing laundry and disciplining children.

Same thing, 7 days a week!

But today seems a bit different. I don't really know why. It just does.

Today we started out with french toast. Daniel suggested it, Samuel helped make it, it was a good time.

And then I have a hair appointment at 12:30.

Is it a bad thing when the lady that cuts your hair calls and asks when you would like an appointment? It is isn't it? I'm not real good at seeing the signs of bad hair until its too late.
Like Sunday mornings.
I always notice that my hair is out of shape, too long, and gray on Sunday morning. So I have asked Suzi if she would please let me know when I (or anyone else in the family) need a haircut. And she did.
And I love her for it!
Love.
Her.

After the haircut and style I will then proceed to sweat by the pool.
Well, we actually have a pretty good set up at the pool. I can sit with my legs in the sun, my face in the shade and a fan blowing on the back of my head.
Heaven is going to be a lot like this. I just know it!

And after the pool, we are heading to the bigger town (but not the big town) to eat with the in-laws.
Not all of the in-laws, just my in-laws.
They are coming for the weekend to watch my angelic children while Stephen and I have a conference at church. Isn't that nice?

It is, but it will take 2 days to get them undone from the grandparents visit.
I don't know what you grandparents do to the grandchildren but it takes a good 48 hours to get it undone!

And all of that is just today! Saturday and Sunday have yet to play out! Its going to be a good time. I'm excited. I have a smile on my face (that is for Mom and Abby). And am ready and able to do whatever comes my way!

Now for the Anna story:

David reminded me of something Anna said quite a while back, maybe a couple of years ago. I don't know if I shared it with you before but I will now.

It had been raining for a couple of days and Anna was tired of it. So tired that she said this:
"I'm going to tell Jesus that if He doesn't make it stop raining I'm not going to give Him any candy when He comes down to get us!"

Maybe the reason Jesus is tarrying (that is for my friends Tracy, Dana, Jill and Nathan!), is because He doesn't like the candy that is being offered.

Hershey come up with something good soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great weekend!

I love that great story from Anna. Have a great time with Stephen. Do your in-laws like to watch other kids? Me and Big D haven't been out alone in forever! ;)

I really enjoyed reading this post! I can relate to the weekend days being the same as the week days. I love Anna's comment.

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

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

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
