Spring Break Days 4,5, & 6

Well, I got behind on blogging about our Spring Break partly because we didn't do much and partly because I started getting sick Thursday night.  I had felt it start coming on Wednesday night, but I just tried not to think about it.  The kids stayed the night with my mom and dad on Wednesday night, so after I picked them up on Thursday we went to town to buy groceries.  At this point I my throat was killing me, but I wasn't going to give into it just yet!  Thursday afternoon we went outside and played for a while then Grammy came to pick the kids up to stay the night with her!  I know, two nights in a row!!  Too bad that I felt awful by the time Carl got home at 7:00.  We did get to eat together, just in the living room while I was perched on the couch!  Friday wasn't much different.  It was freezing outside so the kids couldn't really get out and I couldn't take them out to play.  We did end up going into town to pick up my contact solution that I had forgotten to get earlier and of course stop by Sonic...it was Happy Hour!!  That chocolate shake felt awesome on my sore throat. 
Thankfully Carl didn't have to work long today because it rained.  They probably could have worked most of the day, but decided they would wait until Monday.  Carlie woke up with a sore throat this morning :(  Maybe she'll feel better before Monday.  We have had to work on her My State Notebook project for History (last minute of course!!).  About five minutes into the project (she was already 75 % done) we realized that she needed a picture of the Arkansas County Courthouse!  I guess we'll be making a trip into town later for that !!  I know, we should have done it earlier, but I do best on a deadline....probably not a good habit to pass onto my kids though. 
Oh, before I forget, could you please pray for our pastor's son, Luke.  He has cerebral palsy and was med flighted to ACH on Thursday afternoon.  As of right now, they aren't sure what is the matter with him, but are looking at him coming home maybe on Monday.  I know any and all prayers would be greatly appreciated.
Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
