Happy Halloween and More!

As the kids get older Halloween becomes less of a big deal.  For example, it used to be all about the cutest costume, however now it's about getting the most candy.  Needless to say, this will be Carlie's last year to trick-or-treat.  If it were up to me she wouldn't have done it this year, but Carl (yes, Carl) thought she should do it one more year!!  So, here we are; half sick (all three kids on antibiotics) and thrown together costumes:
Two witches and Jase from Duck Dynasty
Trey the Duck Man
At Aunt Becky and Uncle Deano's
Every time I see a picture of him I want to start singing the theme music: Sharp Dressed Man :)
 
I am well aware that I might not have been "fair" with my picture taking.  Yes, I did take more of T, but get over it.  He's the only one that's technically the right age for this ridiculous holiday! 
 
On a totally different note, Carlie is finally on the mend.  After taking her to the doctor and missing three days of school, she is finally back...not 100%, but back.  Her ears are still stopped up and she can't hear, but I insisted that she try and stay at school today.  I hate for her to get behind and she has a huge project due tomorrow that she hasn't even started on!  I foresee a late-niter!  Makena and Trey are sill coughing but seem to be doing better :)
 
Carl is finally done with bean harvest and finished planting the last bit of wheat today!  He is so excited to take the kids on the youth hunt this weekend.  Maybe even more excited than them.  Now he has to figure out how to take 3 kids hunting in 1day!!  I'm saying to take my Dad with them and let him take one, then Carl can take two in a pop-up stand, but he's leaning towards ME taking two and him taking one....we'll see who wins this one!    Hunting pretty much comes up in EVERY single conversation we have.  I should be used to it after almost 17 years but it still irritates me!  Seriously, I do hope he has a good season and kills lots of deer.  The only problem is that our freezer went out and we don't have anywhere to put the meat at this time.  December can't come fast enough.

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

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

Wednesday Loves

Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday again!  Here are a few things I'm loving this week: I absolutely love this cute little cupcakes. I want to try and make them soon :) I'm loving this idea that came from Merideth .  Trey and I are going to make it for his first day of school.  I know his teacher very well, since both of the girls had her :) I love this Razorback plate from the Magnolia Lane Collection that I got me for my birthday! WOO PIG SOOIE!! And finally, I'm loving my grandmother, or as my kids call her, Grammy. She will be turning 76 on Friday, and I am so blessed to have her be an active part of my life, and my kids lives.  We love you Grammy! What are you loving this week? Beth
