Saturday at Home

Finally we got to stay home on a weekend!  This is the first in about 3 and on top of all the running around Christmas shopping that we've been doing, I needed the break.  But to start my morning off I had to make a trip into town to go to the clinic :(  Thankfully it was nothing bad, I just needed some medicine for my cold sores.  So when I got back home I had to finish laundry, make the kids clean their rooms, and all that fun stuff!  Carl and Trey went outside and grated the driveway and burned a few leaves.  It was so cold and windy out there, I don't know how they stayed out in it! 
Carl, working hard

Trey is a big helper

Meanwhile, Carlie and Makena were playing Monopoly inside where it was a little warmer.

While the girls went for a make-up piano lesson this afternoon, Trey and I played trains, trucks, cars, tractors, and whatever else he wanted to play :)  It reminded me of last year when he wasn't in school yet, so I said, "Trey, this reminds me of when you didn't go to school.  I miss spending time with you like we used to.  Do you miss me?"  And without skipping a beat he said, "not really." :(  But then he said he did a little!  Carl is still hunting, but not seeing a lot.  He said he saw 8 does this evening but they were running and he couldn't get a shot at them.  Oh, well, he can't have a season, every season like last years.  There is still time though. 
That pretty much wraps up our Saturday spent at home.  I just realized that I hardly ever post anything unless we are doing "something somewhere", and since this is our scrapbook, I wanted to keep it real with our boring stuff too :)

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...

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...

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...
