Harvest Begins!

I know that for a lot of people rice harvest started a week or more ago, but after a few unsuccessful test runs (moisture too high) the boys finally got started today, the"unofficial end of summer".  And to be honest, it couldn't have been a more beautiful day.  It was a little windy but after having temps in the upper 90's last week, the upper 70's were heaven :)
So while Carl was busy doing this:
And this:


We were at home doing this:
playing super hero

playing outside in the "cool weather"

playing with kitty (I let him come in for a while today)

and I'm not sure about this one!  It looks a little scary to me :)

I don't know about Carl, but we had a great day!  We just kinda did things at our own pace and didn't worry about what got done and what didn't.  We even took a little walk after dinner this evening and then the kids stayed outside and played.  I hated that I had to make them come in at 7:15 to take showers and get ready for bed.  Trey still hasn't complained about having to go to school, he really does like it :)  We are gearing up for Mr. Man's birthday party this weekend and I'm pretty sure it's going to be pirate themed.  I've waited until the last minute, so this week should be fun between working at school and trying to get things ready for the party :)  I love staying busy! 
Hope you all have a great week....I don't know when I'll get a chance to post again.

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

  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...
