Back To School....Ugh

I seem to have a love/hate relationship with breaks during the school year.  It's great to have a break, but equally as awful to have to go back!  It wasn't so bad last year when I only had to worry about the girls, but now I have me and T drag out of the bed!  All the kids at school seemed to be pretty low-key on Monday and on Tuesday I had to substitute in T's room (LONG DAY!) then finally Wednesday came.  I have a new found love for Wednesdays; for most it's just Hump Day but for me it's FRIDAY :)  This Wednesday was special because we celebrated Uncle Dean's retirement from Entergy.  He had been there for 41 years!
He got this really cool lamp with a meter on it.


Shane and Uncle Dean with the kids.  I checked them out and left around 2:45 so we could make it there by 3.  It was nice and they had made lots of good food for us.  Some of the other linemen told different funny stories about working with him. 

The kids have an abbreviated week both this Friday (Parent Teacher Conference) and next Friday (Good Friday)!  Easter is just around the corner and I'm pleased to say that all the kids have their Easter outfits (thanks Nanny & Pop)!  We branched out and did a completely new color (for us anyway)...coral.  T's shirt has royal blue and coral stripes and the girls have coral dresses that don't match (we are too old for that) but will look good together and they all three came from three different stores.  I've still gotta get Makena some shoes, but everybody else it set!  I know in the midst of all these "Come as You Are" churches it might not be the "thing" to have an Easter dress/outfit, but I'm just old school that way :)

In with Carlie's report card, her teacher put this penmanship paper that she had written in February.  I cried, because we all know that Carlie isn't over emotional and would probably never have told this to me.  Every now and then I think every mother needs some assurance that they are doing a good job.

This is completely random, but I want some of this!! Dr. Pepper homemade ice cream....a mixture of two of my favorite things :)  Maybe Carl will make me some for Mother's Day!


Happy Weekend!
Beth

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...
