It's A Keeper!

Have you ever been fishing......

and caught.....

.....yourself?

Well, not really fishing....

....just playing around with Big Brother Rocky's stuff.

Nacho was "caught" up in the fun for awhile, but was soon ready to be released.

Happy Baptismal Birthday to our Buttercup!!!!

You are such an example of being a "fisher of men." We can see God's love in you and in the love you show to those around you!

God's Blessings to you today and always!

May we all be "fisher's of men" today!!

Mud Pie Fun

Here is a copy of a great recipe we tried out on Friday.

You will need 3 simple ingredients.....

A container full of water, dirt.......

....and a little bit of imagination.

And wa laaaa......Brownie Cake Pie......

......and Chef's Delight Mud Soup.

When I wasn't looking, little sister decided she wanted to bake some bread....

....kneading the dough seemed to be her favorite part.

For this recipe, clean up is actually fun, too, but needs to be done PROMPTLY as soon as pies, breads and soups are served!!!

The dough and batter can be spread throughout the house if not cleaned up ASAP.

Hope your Monday has the recipe to be great day!!

Hand-Me-Downs

As the seasons change, it's fun to go shopping....

to our favorite store....

........"Rubbermaid in the Basement."

There we find clothes that bring back memories of when Big Sister wore them.....
clothes for church.......

and clothes for a fall Sunday afternoon......

Buttercup is having fun seeing the cute outfits she used to wear....now these clothes will be able to dress new memories!!! Having a sister is so much fun!

Blessings on your Sunday!!

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo -no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, visit Soulemama and leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

GOT CHOCOLATE?

On Sunday, we found out we won the 3rd place prize for a drawing our church had at the week-end Fall Festival..........what did we win?

A basket with 10 pounds of chocolate in it!!

Add that to the chocolate we received with 5 children going trick-or-treating....
and then add that to the 6 bags of chocolate that we DIDN'T give out on Halloween night....
(my estimate was slightly off this year being it was our first time here)

and you might say that, yes, WE GOT CHOCOLATE!!

November Visit

We enjoyed our visit with Grandpa and Grandma.

Not only did we celebrate a belated birthday...

but we celebrated an early birthday, too.
Coco will be 1 next week and she had fun opening her present to see......

what was inside.

She was delighted with her new, pink stuffed bunny......

and looked bright and fun in her new outfit!!

One night, we had a Yahtzee show-down.....a night that went by all too fast......as they all tend to do when were are spending time with those that are dear to us.

Grandpa and Grandma left for home yesterday......Dad gave them last minute directions ......which must have been pretty good because they called last night and they made it home safely.

We miss them and there are subtle reminders of their visit spread throughout the house....

a pink bunny sitting lop-sided on the couch...

South Dakota potatoes on the menu for supper tonight....

deck door windows that sparkle as we walk by them....

Reminders that fill us with thankfulness...

Thankful for the gift of grandparents!!!

We love you!

Have fun playing "Hand and Foot" today!!

That'll be the next game-night.......we look forward to you teaching the kids at Christmas!!
