Our Trip To The Pumpkin Patch

Today our school went to the Pumpkin Patch.  Usually we go to Hardin Farms in Grady, but this year it was closed so we went to Wildwood Park's Pumpkin Patch in West Little Rock.  It was fun and they had different activities for the kids, but we had to split up into groups of 15 or less, which was my first dilemma.  I thought I was going to have to make a decision to either go with Trey and his class or the girls and their class.  I didn't want to have to choose one or the other, because I wouldn't get to see them play games and take fun pictures!  Thankfully we worked it out so that I took Trey with the girls group.  I hate it that he didn't get to spend the time with his classmates, but he is so social that it didn't bother him.  He has never met a stranger :)  Anyway, here are some pictures I took:
T climbing through the hay maze. 

Carlie and friends, playing in the hay

Makena, about to go in the hay maze
Jared, Madeline, Carlie, and Bonnie smiled for me before
starting their sack race :)

Pumpkin relay!  It was a lot of fun watching the younger kids
do this, but even more fun watching the high school kids!

Mrs. LeAnn was so sweet to bring snacks for our group!
Trey even tried the sack race...you can see Austin on the left
of the picture...he was going to pick Trey up and carry him
to the finish line :)

T with his pumpkin.  The pumpkins were not very big here!

Some of our group on the hay ride.
Overall it was a very fun day.  After leaving the pumpkin patch we took all the kids to Playtime Pizza.  The buffet was great because not only did they have pizza but they had mac n cheese, a baked potato bar, of course a salad bar, nachos....and the list goes on and on!  It was a good choice and they had plenty of room to accommodate us all :)  We rolled back into the parking lot at 3:00 made it home before 4:00. 
After feeding the kids supper we went walking with my mom down to the river and even though we didn't actually see Reece or Matthew (that we know of), while we were standing at the landing a boat went by with cameras bolted on top of it and they all waved!  It had something to do with the movie; who knows we might even be in it :)  Reece has been spotted all through town: at El Canaveral, the Country Club, and even The Refuge (bar).  Maybe I'll get a good look at her before they are done filming!
Carl has still been super busy with harvest so we aren't getting to see him much at night, but it will be over soon enough.
Happy Friday, everybody!! Hope you all have a marvelous weekend!

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy What's Up Wednesday! Today I am linking up with  Shay  and  Sheaffer  for another "What's Up Wednesday" Let's do this! What we're eating this week... So far this week we have made: Wings on the Pit Boss Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Chops You can't get any easier than wings and chops! Especially when they are on the grill and slow cooker!! What I'm Reminiscing About... Septembers past: September is Trey's birth month. It is also the month that my grandpa died four years ago. This is the year that Papa gave Trey a gun for his birthday. He was so proud to give it to Trey and you can tell by the look on Trey's face how happy he was. Such a sweet moment to remember. Our county fair is also in September. My kids used to love it when they were younger. They still love rides, just not the traveling kind :) This was Wrenley's school picture last year. She has grown so much in one year :) What I'm Loving... Makena and my mom have started mak...

Monday Morning Chit-Chat

  Happy Monday, friends! Well, here we are again. Another Monday morning, another fresh week, and another cup of coffee that I'm hoping will magically give me the energy to accomplish all the things on my to-do list. Spoiler alert: It probably won't. But I'm going to drink it anyway. I thought we would start this week with a little old-fashioned chit-chat. Nothing too serious, nothing life changing. Just a little catching up on life lately, a few random thoughts, and whatever else happens to pop into my head. you know, the kind of conversation we'd have if you stopped by my house, pulled up a chair, and stayed a while. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you going in the morning), and let's visit. First things first...it's October! This year is absolutely flying by. I love this time of year. The cozy evenings, the fall decorations, the soups and comfort foods, and the excuse to stay home in my pajamas a little longer. Now if Arkansas could just get the memo t...

Be Her: When Our Ideal Self Becomes an Idol

 Ella Langley's "Be Her" got me thinking about something I think a lot of women struggle with- the woman we think we should be.  You know her. She's more disciplined. More confident. More put together. She exercises, keeps the house clean, reads her Bible every morning, never loses her patience, and somehow always has good hair. We tell ourselves, If I could just be her..... And there's nothing wrong with wanting to grow. But what happens when the woman we want to become turns into an idol? Sometimes we become so focused on our ideal self that we forget to ask God who He wants us to become. There's a subtle difference between praying, "Lord, make me more like Christ," and saying, "Lord, help me to become the woman I've decided I need to be." One is surrender. The other can easily become control.  Philippians 1:6 reminds us that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. God isn't waiting fo...
