Drama

I've always believed if your life is full of drama, you must like drama.

Well, last night my life was full of DRAMA, and I don't like it!

The kids, Samuel's friend Lauren, and I met Abby and Henry for some Mexican food in North Little Rock. Abby was bringing Henry to us so we could keep him for a few days. He's been excited about coming to Juju's all week.

When they walked in the restaurant he hid behind Abby, and cried. After a while he got better and enjoyed himself. Then it got to be time to leave, and things quickly went downhill. I decided it would be best if we moved everything over to my car before we all walked outside, less drama to have happen that way. 

Oh, if only!

I sent David and Daniel outside to do the moving of luggage. Nothing can go wrong. Except that when we walk out of the restaurant Henry starts crying and causing a scene ( it's Friday night and very crowded outside the restaurant) and David tells me the keys are locked in the van. 

Really?!?

So, Samuel calls AAA while I take Henry away his mom. I felt like a DHS worker! I get Henry to my van where he proceeds to throw up his red fruit punch and blue sucker all over the ground. Right in front of Samuel's friend! And not just once. Oh no! Three times. It was a glorious time. 

I took Henry's shirt off of him, because gross. And we all (except Abby who was no longer in the picture but on the phone with me) walk next door to Academy Sports. And Henry is shirtless. Oh, we're something! And let's not forget all the people standing outside the restaurant watching all of this unfold! I'm sure we were talked about on Facebook and Twitter. It was quite the scene.

We get in the store, find a shirt for Henry and try to settle him down. The poor guy is sad, and sobbing. Finally I promised him I would give him back to his Mother in a few days and all was well. I mean, he quit crying and began enjoying himself. It was like a miracle!

We came home, got ready for bed and Henry slept until 7 this morning. So far, so good. 

I'm hoping for no drama today. Please!

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'
