Friday....3 More Days

Today was the day(actually yesterday, I'm still a day behind!)...we got to meet our new teachers :)  You know, a really good blogger mom would have taken her camera to take pictures of the girls with the principal, new teachers, friends, etc.  Well, the day proved to be a little challenging, so I was not a good blogger mommy. 
As we were leaving for Open House yesterday, Trey started saying his tummy hurt....SERIOUSLY??  So I load them all up anyway, and we take off to town.  On the 15 minute ride he continues to complain numerous times.  I try to ignore, the whole time praying so hard that he doesn't get sick.  So we made it!!  He didn't complain the whole time we were at the school...WHEW!! 
Their teacher seems to be really sweet !  :)    We talked for a while and then left.  I had already planned to go shopping before we went back home, so we headed over to Belk.  While we were there Trey started complaining again, only this time he was on the ground with his knees to his chest. So, there went my shopping trip :(  I got him a Sprite at Sonic and we started home and then...he started screaming  I GOTTA POOP!!! By this time we were to the farm, so we stopped and let him poop.  Nothing out of  the ordinary going on with the number 2.  He felt fine after that.  Just like it started, it ended!
I took them to Grammy and Papa's house around 5:30 and they couldn't wait for me to leave :(  They ate pizza, went out to feed the chickens and gather the eggs, took their baths, and had a talent show!  Grammy took a few pictures, but I haven't seen them yet.  Trey was playing the electric guitar, Carlie was playing the fiddle, and Makena was on the mandolin!  There are so blessed to have great-grandparents that are still active enough to do things like this with them.  Making Memories :) 
Carl didn't get home until 8:30, so I enjoyed a quiet house for a while. 
I am already getting a little sad to thinking that summer is over.  Carl thinks I'm crazy, guess it's just a Momma thing :)

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
