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!

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!...

Red Flags: Guarding Our Hearts & Our Churches

 Scripture tells us that shepherds are entrusted with God's flock, no for selfish gain but "being examples to the flock" (1 Peter 5:3). A pastor's calling is a holy one, rooted in humility, sacrifice, and love. But Jesus also warned that not every shepherd has pure intentions--some are "wolves in sheep's clothing" (Matthew 7:15).  As believers, we must stay discerning. Here are some red flags to watch out for in pastors: 1.  Special Treatment for Certain Families  James warns against showing partiality (James 2:1-4), yet some pastors cater to certain families, wealthy donors, or influential members while neglecting the rest of the body. Christ doesn't play favorites--every soul in the church matters equally to Him. A true shepherd cares for the unnoticed as much as the well-known. 2. Neglecting the Brokenhearted  Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18), but a pastor who avoids the messy, hurting, or less "influential" people in th...

Back To School Photo Shoot

The girls have been begging me since yesterday to take some pictures of them in some of their new outfits but yesterday the weather was kinda iffy as to if was going to rain (never did) and we would have had to fix hair before....and that just didn't really fit into our day, so I told them after church would work.  I would have never guessed how sleepy I would have been after not enough sleep due to Carlie's stomach issues and the fact that I took sinus medicine before I went to bed thought I was going to bed at 11:00.  Needless to say,  could hardly keep my eyes open during church.  I was seriously thinking of finding an empty room and taking a nap until church was over!  Instead, I waited until after we ate lunch (leftovers from last night!) and cleaned up.  I think we finished in record time and I was snoozing away by 12:45 :)  I could hear the kids, so I got up around 2:30 and the first thing Makena asked me was "Can we take pictures now?"....
