Halloween 2013

My little vampire

He was really into posing!!

Makena dressed up as Cleopatra

Her pose :)
 
This was Carlie's last minute costume. 
I had told her she was too old, but she really wanted to,
so I caved!

All three
 
Hadlee and Makena

The kids thought it was cool because Aunt Becky had scary make-up on!
 
This was definitely a Halloween like no other.  As I got out of the shower this morning (at 6:40) our electricity went out...no blinking, just poof it was gone!  So thankfully Carl was still here and helped me get them ready really fast (in the dark) so we could go eat breakfast in town.  Everything I had here at the house had to either be cooked in the microwave, stove, or toaster!  It was pouring down rain as we drove to school but we made it fun by listening to "Thriller Thursdays" on the radio while we ate our breakfast at Sonic :)  After I finally dropped them off at school I ran and bought groceries then had to go back and get Carlie out of school for her knee appointment at OrthoArkansas.  We had been waiting on committing to basketball this season until we saw the doctor, but he said that he wasn't going to tell her not to play.  It's kind of one of those things where they tell you to listen to your body!  She has Osgood-Shlettlers disease.  It has to do with the growth plate at the bottom of her knee and it is causing her pain.  She has to wear a brace to practice and the games.  Honestly, I wish she just wouldn't play but all she can think about is getting her Letterman's jacket!
I finally got back home around 11:00 but thankfully Carl was able to pick them up from school, so I didn't have to go back into town :)
They had a lot of fun trick-or-treating and got WAY too much candy! 
 
Another successful Halloween in the books!

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...
