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

 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...
