Big T's Big Day

I wanted to share some pictures from Big T's birthday on Friday. He was able to start his day off with chocolate pancakes topped with peanut butter, syrup, and dinosaur sprinkles. Oh..and don't forget the BIG glass of milk. :-)


Then he got a haircut and his new shirt...complete with #6. :-)

I then, tried in vain, to get a decent birthday picture. He was too distracted by his siblings and my camera...let's just say that it only works half of the time now. So I am just happy if the thing even turns on! This is the best picture I got. I hope to try again this week.

Right after we took this picture my parents showed up to spend the afternoon with Big T and the other children as well. I didn't realize until after I took this picture that Little E had placed a snake on Papaw's leg. LOL

My parents gave Big T a ladder golf (or whatever it is called) game. We have had so much fun with it too!
My parents even took us out to eat at Jake's. What a treat! Yummioso (as the children would say LOL) Then when my parents left I had about an hour and a half before the next set of grandparents showed up. It was a very busy day! (But wonderful too) In this picture you can see Big T enjoying another gift (gotta love Leg*'s and knights) and wearing a costume that my parents brought. We told him he looks like Davy Crockett.


But the big hit of the evening was the cake! I got a big hug for this one. Waiting patiently while we sing.


Getting ready....


And here he goes!


He really got into it. LOL :-)


I can tell you that I definitely feel like I could sleep for a day solid. I am so tired, but the Lord gives me the strength where I need it most. And right now...I need to get my shopping list in order to do my Once a Month shopping trip this evening for groceries. So much for resting. :-)

What a great cake! And I love the new shirt. Is that going to be the color for the year?

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

I did it!

Yes, I did get up at 5am this morning. Two days in a row, that is a HUGE deal for me. Let's see if I can keep this up (but probably not on Sundays). Tomorrow will be the test. I am not the type of person that can sleep in two days in a row and then get up on time through the week. I am going to try to only allow myself (at first) to sleep in one day a week. We will see how that goes. ;) But, my quiet time the past two mornings has been wonderful! It's amazing how it totally changes my day. Today I was thinking about smiling. Do you know that people are drawn to a smile? It's true. Think about it. When you are out in a store or just out on a walk...there is something about a smile from someone. I guess it gives me "hope" that there are actually people out there with joy in their heart. Gotta wonderful sometimes with all the scowls I see. Make sure you have a smile on your face today. :) Oh...the other night when we went to the store Sweet E was so happy. When we w
