Shake your Keister, It's Easter!



 
We have geared up for Easter this past week or two. Henry says Easter is mine...meaning, he knows I love it a lot. It is truly one of my most favorite things. 


He dyed eggs with Kool-Aid at his Nana's house this week. He enjoyed that as much as she did, I'm certain! We are thankful for her being close and able to keep him on a whim. This time of year is nutso for real estate and agriculture! 


In the midst of our week of Easter fun we went to see about some prekindergarten options. He enjoyed it more than me, I'm certain! Lol. 


We decided it was time to introduce him to the fire at the steak house this week.  He loved it! It was hysterical to watch him. 


Henry enjoyed his Easter party at school. He is the cutest bunny ever! 


Good Friday was spent egging some friends. We left filled eggs and one empty to symbolize the empty tomb. At each stop I had him tell me why we left an empty egg and he would tell me "because Jesus is not in there. He's alive, Mama!" ;) 


We went to the Elks egg hunt. We are members but really only for the pool!  We decided to take part in the egg hunt this year. It was fun and he got a bucket full of candy filled eggs. It was short and sweet. Everyone was happy. 


Watching the preschool choir sing their Easter song last Sunday night was precious. Henry knows the Easter story inside out and front to back. Nothing pleases my mama heart more. I pity the children who don't have parents who teach them of Christ's love. It's so easy and our purpose.  Next time you see Henry in person I encourage you to ask him what kind of king Jesus is. You will love to hear him say, "He is a servant king". Be still my heart!




No more smocked Easter wear for my sweet big boy...sniff,sniff. This big bow tie wearing cutie is ready to celebrate our Risen Saviour tomorrow on Easter.  I took pre Easter pictures of him last year and it worked so well I did it again this year. Makes Easter morning less hectic because we all know I love Easter and I love pictures!!! Ha. 


The bunny has filled his new painted basket and it is ready for him in the morning. He is so excited and I am in awe and disappointed in myself. No one child should get this much stuff in an Easter basket! It is what it is, I reckon! Henry Lee is rotten yet he knows Easter is all about Jesus so it makes me feel better about the busting basket! Ha.

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'
