Day 20

Alabama sang at church on Sunday night with the Little Lights Choir. You can see the video by clicking here! She is on the left in the blue/green dress.

Day 19

This picture is from Friday night before we left to take the kids to Adam's parents and go on a date. We went to the new T-Bonz in Evans. It was okay, but it WAS really great to eat and talk and not be a jungle gym during the meal! :)

I'm 29 weeks here. Sweet Pea and I are doing great!

 

Saturday, Adam went hunting with Michael,  so I took Alabama to Sparklers, ran some errands (like getting an iced coffee!), picked her up, went to Wal-mart for a gift, then home really quick, then to our friend Henry's birthday party. It was a fun tractor theme party at a park. Pate's favorite! There were some older boys throwing a football and he thought that he was just as big. He went right out to where they were and wanted to play, too. They were really nice to him and let him get it a few times. He also loved playing in the "sand box" and digging for the toys. That boy loves some dirt!

When we got home, Adam and had starting moving our bedroom around to make a space for the baby. (Amazing what a little hunting gets you! ha!) We aren't finished, but we got pretty far on the room. We ate leftovers and got the kids in bed early! We watched FNL and had a relaxing evening at home.

Oh, while we were in the car at Wal-Mart, a man walks by in a orange tee-shirt and he had a while beard. I couldn't see him from where I was, but Pate spotted him and said, "Ho, ho ho" in his deep Santa voice! Too funny!

Day 18-Pumpkin Patch fun

We've had a fun day today!!! We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, went to see Granny and to the bank, then went to the pumpkin patch! They had a good time looking at all the different shapes and sizes and textures! We selected our pumpkins and took them home to take some pictures and paint them! Here are the best pictures from our "fall photo shoot." Pate was so excited to pull and ride in the wagon around our yard. He didn't want to come inside to paint but liked it once he started! He kept saying "more!" Alabama was so excited about painting the pumpkins. Her's has a jack-o-lantern girl, a bat, a butterfly, and a candy corn! ha!

 

Day 17

Today was spirit day at school! Here is Alabama and Pate in their outfits. My little cheerleader and football player! Love them!

Alabama said this morning. "Mama, I know Clara really does love the Georgia Bulldogs even though Taylor makes her say that stuff about the Gators!" ha!

Day 16

They mystery of the whining baby was solved today. I knew something was just not right with him. I took him to the Dr. this morning and he has a double ear infection. Whew! Thankful for discernment, good doctors, and anti-biotics! I hate to think of how long he has had it, though. :(  Hopeful that he will be feeling better soon!

Day 15

This is the day that I was glad to see come to an end. Pretty much non stop fussing and whining around here on our second day of fall break. I thought the day was getting a little better when we all went outside for a while. They played while I sat on the porch and read my Bible study. It was about Jesus temptation in the wilderness and how God not allow you to be tested more than you can bear. I was thinking maybe it applied to whining, too. You won't be given more whining than you can bear! ha! We came back in and had lunch and I tried to put Pate down for a nap (and Bama, too!) but they weren't having it. He cried the whole time while I took a shower. So, I thought we should get out of the house for a while and we needed some black shirts to make a gift and I had store credit at Hobby Lobby....so a trip to HL it was! Well, not much is worse than a whining day at home...except a whining day in public! ha!! Pate didn't want to sit in the seat, then he didn't want me to hold him, then he just wanted to fuss. So we got our shirts and we looked at the Christmas stuff for a few seconds and we left....with a bag of chex mix for the road. (Pate sees pictures of Santa and says Ho, Ho, Ho now. :)) Adam said he would pick up supper, but we didn't really have the money for that and we had food to eat, so I scrounged something together for supper. We had a quick supper, baths, and bed! Then we watched our favorite...Friday Night Lights. We started watching when we got rid of our satellite and switched to Amazon/Netflix for TV. We only have a few episodes left of the series. boo. We'll have to find another show then...maybe back to Matlock! ha! I worked on the shirts and made a cute pumpkin shirt for Pate and two for friends' birthdays. They turned out super cute!

Day 14

Monday and Tuesday are Fall Break for schools around here, so we didn't have school today. Pate and I both got our hair cut (he was not a fan!) and then Mimi took us to lunch with our Chick-fil-A coupons. Alabama went to run some errands with Mimi and Alicia while I took Pate home and delivered Daddy's guitar.

 Alabama came home later and had gotten pedicures with them. She had pink toenails with white polka dots! She is so proud and keeps saying it won't come off, even when I take a bath!

 

While Adam was cooking supper, Alabama and Pate helped me make apple dumplings for dessert! They were so delish! Even Adam said they were good and he doesn't usually eat cooked fruit desserts. They Pioneer Woman made them here!  You should definitely try them!
