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:

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!

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...
