Our Busy Week

My hunter is home! No deer, but he had a great time. We are glad he is back home with us.

Tuesday night was girls night at Kelly's house. We always have such a wonderful time. I love getting to know people better. We had some great food, my favorite being Chili's chips and salsa! Thank you Jessica!!!!
At the end of the day, I never want to go anywhere. I just want to be home and relax. I always want to back out of going to girls night. But, when I go, I LOVE it. It is always so refreshing to me.


I went to Emily's Thanksgiving feast at school this week. We had some wonderful food and I loved seeing the children in Emily's class.
This is Emily's teacher, Ms Beth. She is a great teacher and has been so good for Emily.
Sarah Kate's favorite baby, Lena Kate. I hosted playgroup at my house today. I did not get a picture of everyone, but here are a few I got.
Kids always like dressing up at our house. We don't have any boy dress up clothes and so one of the boys just settled for a dress. He became a prince.
Sweet Avery
Amber with Drew hiding from the camera.
Bethany and Luke.
Tracy and Emily


I don't know about you , but I am ready for Thanksgiving BREAK.
I am just soooooooooooo tired and so are the girls. We are looking forward to a week of relaxation.

This is the first post I have seen from anyone in the South that wore a tshirt to a playgroup, so THANK YOU, it makes me feel more normal. You all look so beautiful all the time, but it takes all I have not to run out the door in my pajamas most days! SO THANK YOU TO THE MOM IN THE GREY T-SHIRT!!!!!

Glad your hubby is back-I hate being alone!

I giggled at the first ladies' comment, but it's so true! It's hard to get yourself ready let alone kiddos! I am uber jealous of the friendships with all the different ladies. I know to join a playgroup or better yet, church! p.s. made your roast - YUM!!!

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST....

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
