So, contrary to what I thought, I do have a lot of pictures on my phone to blog about. After all, I haven't filled y'all in on my life in a whopping 8 days. Stuff happens.
Last Friday, Trey tells me we are going to The Crystal Ball. Okay, you say. This is a black tie affair. I panic a tad bit more than mildly for reasons such as: I have NOTHING to wear, I should have dieted for this, I am white as mayonnaise, and my feet look like I have been roaming through the jungle barefoot for years (fingers look bad too). So I did what anyone would do and deposited the kids with Trey so I could get someone to improve my appearance. My toenails and fingernails improved much. I rubbed sunless tanner on for the mayonnaise factor, I slipped on some Spanx for instant weight loss, and drum roll please.... found a bridesmaids dress from 2007 and WORE IT!!!!!!!
The coat belonged to my mother!
Sela Ward was being honored at the 2018 Crystal Ball.
Swanky events aren't my thing. I am much happier at home in my smoochy clothes (t-shirt and sweat pants). But I went and plan to buy something more 2019ish if I am attending next year!
Praise YE the Lord, the inclement weather is G-O-N-E and I was able to take back over my house. I spent 3 days cleaning and doing laundry. It was great to get outside too!
And eat a "spockable". That's a popsicle to Annie.
Me: "Annie if you will be sweet in Dollar Tree I will buy you some stickers!"
Bit wanted a side shot...
These two love each other dearly. I keep wondering when the day will come that Ford decides she is annoying and doesn't want her around. It hasn't happened yet!
My boys are obsessed with poster boards and drawing. I'll buy a pack if it'll bring out their creative side. Ford was drawing his future house plans.
My cousin, Maria, was at the capitol one day and found Trey.
Bit and a poster board...
He didn't want anyone to see...
We were drawing our old house....
Ta-Da!
Stinky, aka Otis, went to the vet for a bath, teeth cleaning, and toenail cutting. God gave me this dog for some reason, maybe to teach me more patience. He's trying my patience real hard. Real hard!
Cardboard heart....
Wrapped in yarn= 20 minutes of entertainment for Bitty.
Momma, push me to the blue house. (There's a blue house near ours and they want to swing really high that direction).
I want my kids to never act like me in many aspects. I want them to be smarter and better than me at life in general. I hate to read. My parents totally dropped the ball with me in this area of my life. However, I promote reading BIG time at this house. We do AR (accelerated reader) all year long. I tell Ford, "The more you read the more you know, the more you know the further you go."
Rarity
To postpone bedtime she will try to con me into book reading after we've read our Bible story. On this night I let Daddy read....
Sometimes a bath bomb is super entertaining....
This is my second year to coach basketball. I wouldn't really say I know what I am doing. I am usually hollering to get your arms up, don't touch the other players, find your man, get he rebound, etc. Those are my key phrases. But I will say our little team has come a long way! We've won every game and they're all growing as players.
My #13
Stinka is going to try gymnastics class tomorrow. Should be interesting!
The last time I went hunting I was 7 months pregnant with Annie. Today the boys begged so I went.
Bitty and Ford were so loud! I asked if they were always this loud or was the special entertainment (me) the reason for such racket.
Within 5 minutes of being in the stand, Ford shot what we "thought" was a doe. Turns out he got a buck that had lost his horns. We were super excited about the deer, but a bit confused as to what to do with your first buck that has no horns!!!!!
