We Made It!

Oh, Yeah, we made it through our first week of school!!!  I am very pleased to report that all the kiddos are loving their classes :)
 Carlie seems to like being in with the older kids and is adjusting very well to being in with different kids.  She has already had a few quizzes this week and made 100's on all of them except History.  What is it with her and History?!  She made a new/old friend, Camryn.  Camryn has been to VBS at our church in the past and actually lives out here by us, but we don't really run in the same circles, so we hardly see her and her family.
Makena is doing great too!  She has made a new friend, Oriah.  Oriah moved here with her family from Texas about three years ago and has previously attended the Catholic School here in town and her brother Meshach has attended our school, but this is her first year here at our school.  She is in the 4th grade and Makena is in the 5th, but they are in the same room, so they get to see each other all day.  Makena had two quizzes on Friday, but doesn't know what she made on them yet.  I'm not worried :)
Trey has had a pretty good week too!  He isn't wanting to wear his glasses during the video like he is supposed to (he said that his headphones hit them and hurt his head), so we've had a little talk and told him he HAS to wear them during video.  He did very well in class until yesterday.  He was still behaving well, he just got caught talking in class, so he got a stick pulled.  One for the whole week isn't that bad (I guess.).  Mrs. Odom still considers him one of her best students.  He's just a boy :)  Next week homework starts for everybody, so the madness will begin.  I sure hope I can help them study like I have in the past....now I'll just have to make room for one more!

Makena was being silly....dressed up like a witch!

Carlie's turn to drive!  They all love it when she drives because she is a little crazy with her driving.  I have to tell her a lot to slow down and not turn so sharp!

Look Out!  Now T's driving.  Don't worry, I'm never far....

I guess that's about all for now.  Carl has been working late all week, but I just keep reminding myself that every late night is getting us closer to being done! 
Tomorrow is church and Carlie is going to Hot Springs with my dad afterwards.  She's been begging him to take her on one of his trips all summer long, so here it is at the end and she's finally going :)  I guess they'll have a little bonding time! 
 
Happy Weekend!!

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...
