One Busy Lady

This has been "the summer" for losing teeth in the Munger house.  I think we have lost a grand total of 5 or 6 teeth between Carlie and Makena!! The tooth fairy has been one busy lady :)  Carlie got in the car from school on Wednesday and handed me a zip lock baggy with a tooth in it. 
So what exactly are you supposed to do with baby teeth?!  Do you keep them?  When I was a little girl someone gave me a little keepsake box for the teeth that I lost and it had a tooth fairy on it...I've never seen one anywhere like it.  Anyway, I still have my teeth in there....Carl thinks it's disgusting, and honestly, I don't know why I've kept them all this time.  I just don't know what to do with the kids teeth.  I'll let you know what I decide :)
The first week of school has gone really well. They had their first quizzes today, one in Science and the other in American History.   We have managed to get out of the house by 7:45 and make it to school by 8:10...and the bell rings at 8:15!  Oh well, five minutes is enough time to socialize in the morning!!  Trey has also been doing well with his school work.  I found some books that he gets to use a dry-erase marker with, and he LOVES it.  We went to the library on Tuesday (which he also LOVES) and of all the books he could have gotten, he pick up Sponge Bob, Patrick, and of course a firetruck book :)  Like we don't get enough of that stuff at home!  He really looks forward to going to school to pick the girls up because he likes to go in (sometimes we go early to help clean up a little) and play with the Kindergarten, 1st, and 2ND graders that are in the gym at that time.  He's really a very social little boy :)
Carl is still working late, although it hasn't been quiet as late due to the fact that they run out of trucks because Producer's is so backed up.  He got to go to church with us on Wednesday night, and last night he was home by 8:00.  The trucks they took in on Wednesday didn't even get dumped until today!  There were somewhere around 700 trucks in the lots on Wednesday night.  If the rain holds off, maybe we'll be done by the end of next week (hoping!). 
Sorry, no pictures in this post, just updates!!  TGIF!!

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...
