Snow Days

Ain't nobody got time for snow!  Chesterfield shut down for three days due to snow--we had snow on the ground two of the three days.  Trey and I didn't get to take the days off -- the joys of being self employed.  Everyone kept asking me if the boys enjoyed playing in the snow--and they were shocked by my response of "No".  Drew put on his pajamas Tuesday evening--and didn't get back out of them until Friday morning when it was time to get ready for school.  Jac just goes with the flow.

Here's a throw back to Drew's opinion of the snow:

Jac won't slow down long enough for me to get a decent picture.  His attitude of the snow mimics Drew's!

Winner Winner Venison Dinner

While we were in Crockett for Thanksgiving I agreed to go hunting with Trey.  BIG MISTAKE.  I was hooked!  There was no way I was going to shoot anything that I couldn't mount in my office…says the girl who has never hunted a day in her life.  Well, it didn't happen over Thanksgiving--but I did see the big one that got away!

Since hunting season is over the last week of December, I did what any normal competitive individual would do.  I agreed to drive the 16 hours to go to Crockett the day after Christmas.  (Christmas post will come in July the rate I'm going)

We drove straight through on the 26th.  We got there and went hunting the evening of the 27th--and I got one!  This is my face like three seconds after it happened.

My trophy!

If you're going to kill Bambi's father you got to do it up big!

Now to round out his end of the bargain Trey has to run a half marathon.  He doesn't even know where his running shoes are!

Meat is on the Ground

Trey and Drew we're successful on their hunt!

In other news Paige and I braved Thursday evening shopping at Wal-Mart. We went, we saw, we ain't ever going back!  We didn't spend a dime-who has time for those lines unless you got one of everything on sale- and we didn't get there in time for any sale!

Thanksgiving

I have so much to be thankful for!  My faith, family, friends to name a few.

We made the road trip out to Crockett Texas to spend Thanksgiving with the Cockrells.  The rainy weather at the beginning has been replaced with gorgeous weather.  The stomach bugs we had last week are behind us.  A couple more days of rest and relaxation before the 1049 mile road trip home.

My two favorite turkeys!

A little Halloween before Thanksgiving

Life is busy in the small little town of Chesterfield!  As Trey says "this is the new normal".  In an attempt to be prepared I made 400 treat bags for Halloween and had another 300+ pieces of candy for trick or treaters.  EPIC FAIL!

400 bags were gone in less than an HOUR!!!  Caleb was sent for backup...when the last piece if candy was handed out we turned off the lights and hid- half an hour before Trick or Treating was scheduled to end!

The church three doors down counted in excess if 900 kids.  Ain't nobody got time for that-I'm debating turning the sprinklers on next year and leaving town!

Meanwhile Peter Pan and Captain Hook had a blast.

Tea PARTY

Drew and Jac were invited to celebrate Scarlett's second birthday.  They had a blast.  Pink sand is quite the hit with boys--as well as play houses!

The dessert table was made by Sharon Dutton who also made Drew's pirate cake.  There were tea cups--they are in the back corner of the photo.  I could have eaten the entire table--but I only ate one oreo ball. YUM!

Handsome blue eyed boy!

Pink sand!

BYE!
