Six More Days and A New Name

Well, I'm sure that most of you have noticed that I changed the name of the our blog.  I always wanted to come up with something other than the last name thing.  So the other day I was listening to Taylor Swift (not necessarily by choice, my girls LOVE her!!) sing The Best Day, and in one part of that song she sings of princesses and pirate ships, so I thought that it would be a perfect new name for our blog :)  Today was another nice day, and we actually got to enjoy the outdoors today. 
For some reason I just couldn't go back to sleep after Carl left for work, so I got up and started working on my lesson plans for Trey's school.  After everyone got up and ate breakfast we went outside to do some chalking with sidewalk chalk.  Then we went in and got dressed for Mommy's photo shoot (that would be me taking pictures of them!)  By that time it was time for lunch so we came inside and Makena and Trey built a tent to lay in and watch TV.  He really is going to miss them a little bit, but then again, he will enjoy getting to do stuff alone too. 
We went swimming this afternoon and then came home and relaxed before starting dinner.  Carlie and Trey helped me cook, but Trey was the only one who let me get his picture.  He said, "I am the chef!"  Ratatouille is one of his favorite movies!! 
Carl is working late...still working as I'm writing this, in fact.  I love this time of year, but then again, I hate this time of year.  This is my time to learn a little of what it's like to be a single parent, and believe me I don't  EVER want to be a single parent!  Maybe tomorrow we can go to the farm and get some pictures of them harvesting.  Trey is always more interested in the big trucks than the combine, but he loves to go out there ;)

I normally wait until Sept. to put this flag out, but I
was so sick of looking at the Beach Bum flag that
had been out all summer that I broke down and put
it out!! SO READY FOR RAZORBACK FOOTBALL :)

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...
