Because I can't come up with anything else...

Outside my window::: A beautiful sunny day. The backyard is green and beautiful. We have light pink roses on one side of the yard and honeysuckle on the other side. I'm thankful I don't have allergy problems!

I am thinking:::About my daddy. He is in the hospital and doing good but I haven't been to see him and I'm feeling guilty and sad about it.

I am thankful for::: So much. My daddy's health, my mom going back to work after such a terrible time in March and April. The house I live in and the people that allow it. My husband and my kids.

From the school room::: Finishing up! Friday could be our last day. I can't believe it really. With all that this year has thrown at us we are finishing earlier than normal!

From the kitchen:::Nothing. Friends are coming over for dinner tonight and they are bringing it with them! How great is that?

I am wearing::: Khaki capris, blue t-shirt and socks (of course)

I am creating::: A list of the school books I will need next year. The homeschool convention is coming up in a couple of weeks and I need to get things in order.

I am going::: To New Orleans in June. The Southern Baptist Convention is there this year and Stephen and I are going. We are excited!

I am reading::: I am actually between books right now, finished one last night and haven't started one yet this morning. I do read Jesus Calling daily. It is a great devotional book, it really is a must have!

I am hoping::: To get to Goodwill today. I just know there is a bargain there I need to grab.

I am hearing::: An X-box baseball game, sounds of David shooting his gun, Daniel humming and the dryer drying. Anna is quiet, not a worry now that she's 8!

Around the house::: Toilets are cleaned, floors are mopped, dusting needs to be done

One of my favorite things::: The tooth fairy remembered to give Anna money for her lost tooth. Daniel pulled it for her and then lost it when he was rinsing it off in the sink. She didn't think the tooth fairy would visit because there was no tooth. But she was wrong, and I didn't forget!

A few plans for the rest of the week: Lunch with a couple of friends a couple of days this week. Clean up day at Liberty this weekend.

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'
