It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

This is Trey's Nativity set in his room.  He was so excited
to put it up and he loves playing with all the people.

Makena's Nutcrackers.  She has just started
collecting them this past year.  The one with the
coconut drink in his had is named Kenny!!  I don't know
where she got that from, but the girl LOVES these things!

This has been Trey's favorite book for a while now.  He
goes around singing the song to it all the time...he even did this
in the summer!  His favorite part is "Five Golden Retrievers" and of
course, "And A Poodle In a Dog House"!!  It's a very cute book.

We have started decorating for Christmas around the Munger house.  It started last Saturday (I think...my days were all off last week!) when we got the tree out of storage and spent most of the day trying to get it to look right (one day I'll splurge on a new one!) and decorating the rest of the inside.  Sunday after church Carl and I worked on the outside...we didn't put up any lights this year (yet), but instead did greenery and red bows around the front posts. 
This has been a pretty hard week so far.  I guess being off from school/work for a week really got us off course.  Carl got sick on Saturday, and to this day sounds awful.  He refuses to go to the doctor, though.  He is getting better, but it is a very slow process.  Bless his heart, he did basketball practice on Tuesday with little to no voice!  Thank goodness for the whistle!  So the girls and Carl had basketball on Tuesday, yesterday we had our Hughes Net installed (which took 3 1/2 hours!) and Discovery,  and today I've got to get off here so I can clean and get ready to go get the girls and take them to b-ball practice again! 
They will play their first game on Monday night.  They are playing a different private school in Stuttgart.  It's really no big deal, but I have to question their coach putting Carlie on as point guard!!  I'm going to be sure and take my video camera because it's going to be hilarious!!
Saturday morning we are planning to do Christmas card pictures (I'm a little late, I know!) and Saturday afternoon we are going to my Aunt Kathleen's house in Sheridan for Christmas. 
To say the least this month is jam-packed!!  It's like people just see how much they can cram into one month!!  No wonder why we forget the "real" meaning of Christmas...we're too darn busy!

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...

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...

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...
