Daybook Entry

For Today...February 19

In the great outdoors...cloudy and cool today. The last few days have been so nice a great break from all the cold weather.

Within our walls...I bought curtains! Well, I really bought tablecloths but I'm making them curtains. I can't wait to put them up.

A heart of thanksgiving...I'm so thankful for a loving husband and a home in a safe neighborhood that my kids love and have friends in. 

A heart of prayer...two sweet families have lost loved ones this week. A mother in one family and a child in the other. Praying for God to give them comfort.

Random observation...if I sit on the couch I like to be covered up. I always have a blanket or throw nearby.

My silly children...Anna spent last night with her BFF, and texted today to ask if she could spend another night! I miss her.

Thoughts from the kitchen...well, last weeks meals weren't any better than the week before. So this week we're going back to the staples and hoping for the best!

On my bookshelf...Who am I kidding? I haven't read anything this week either.

Sounds at the moment...everyone has gone to church, and I'm home alone with just the washing machine going. Quiet is good.

A favorite thing from last week...Valentines Day! Stephen and I love this day. We don't give gifts but we do go out to eat and spend time together. This year did was so nice, we talked and laughed. We needed it!

On the calendar...Duck Duck Goose is this week in Pine Bluff, I'll be working there a few days.

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
