Goofing Off

I don't even know what these blankets are called....they are
like pillow pets, only blankets!  They got them somewhere for
Christmas.  Anyway, they were being so silly and decided to be
their animals: Bunny (Carlie), Giraffe (Trey), and Unicorn (Makena).

I had a GIANT bunny in my house :)

Trey needed to relax after a hard day at school :)

Today was back to school for us, and believe it or not Trey didn't even complain about it!  He has been adjusting pretty well to getting up and going.  I think he actually enjoys it.  He just has a few things to learn about what is and what is not acceptable at school.   He did get a stick pulled for the first time today for being out of his chair.  He said that he thought he was supposed to be up because the video teacher said to get up.  I don't know.   He is learning though because I ask him everyday what he learned and he'll tell me.  Today he recited is first poem: "The Birdie With The Yellow Bill".  It was so cute to hear him say it :)
The girls are doing great too.  They both have LOADS of homework most every night and Makena is telling me that she wants to go to public school because they don't hardly ever have homework.  That isn't an option.  They are both making all A's so far :)
Carl hasn't started rice harvest yet, but unless it rains it will be tomorrow or Wednesday.  I want them to hurry and get started so they can be done, but I always dread being a single mom for those weeks.  Thankfully we always have Sundays together :) 
I am thoroughly enjoying my time at school...almost as much as I enjoy my two days at home alone :)  I work with some great people that are becoming great friends. 
I realize that all of the above seemed pretty random, but I just wanted to give an update on what we've been up too.
"A happy heart makes the face cheerful...." Proverbs 15:13

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...

Wednesday Loves

Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday again!  Here are a few things I'm loving this week: I absolutely love this cute little cupcakes. I want to try and make them soon :) I'm loving this idea that came from Merideth .  Trey and I are going to make it for his first day of school.  I know his teacher very well, since both of the girls had her :) I love this Razorback plate from the Magnolia Lane Collection that I got me for my birthday! WOO PIG SOOIE!! And finally, I'm loving my grandmother, or as my kids call her, Grammy. She will be turning 76 on Friday, and I am so blessed to have her be an active part of my life, and my kids lives.  We love you Grammy! What are you loving this week? Beth
