Insta Friday



Happy Friday!! This is just a small window into this busy week.  Homecoming will be it's own post all together.  This is what I did post on IG this week:


Our family decided to skip the football game since it was away and built a fire instead. It was the perfect night for it and there was a lot of giggling, singing along to the itunes playlist, and the girl's having to listen to Doug and I reminisce about our Homecoming Glory Days since homecoming week was coming up.



Sneaking a pic of Madi in her basketball huddle, she was not impressed :)


I finally did some real grocery shopping....I am now broke.



Madi refuses to dress up for School Spirit Week (she is adorable and very junior highish).



Lucy on the other hand was all about Spirit Week.  This was Elderly Day.


October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  I made this pumpkin last year (it is paper mache). My momma died 14 years ago from this horrible disease, my dear friend's mom passed last year, and I have several other friends and family who have battled it as well.  Get your mammograms ladies!!



I used to hate long drive up lines.  Now a days, I enjoy the quiet of my car for the few extra minutes :)

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
