Duped. Twice. But more importantly!
I heard the faint cry last night around 10:30 pm.
"mommy"
I bolted upstairs.
I knew.
She slightly resembled Linda Blair.
Only no head spinning.
Cleaning and rearranging for the night ensued.
This morning.
No warning.
He was just a pathetic little man sitting in a mess.
I almost joined the club as I cleaned up that time.
Safe now.
On a pallet of well-covered furniture and a trash can near by.
Cartoons.
The whirring and tumbling sounds float from under the door of my laundry room.
I need a nap!
**********************************************************
Today, my friend Andrea is having surgery to remove lymph nodes and have them tested for cancer. On October 29th, she will have a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery for a cancer that is currently contained. She is a mom of young kids. She is not giving "chance" an opportunity.
She is brave. She is strong. She is faithful. She has a strong and supportive network where she lives, including her family.
As you find a moment during your prayers or quiet time, please remember her. Today and in the next few weeks.

Rodeo
Saturday afternoon, we took the kids to the local junior college rodeo competition.
They had free tickets.
And it had been awhile since they had experienced something new and different.
It was interesting, to say the least.
I had no idea how much bling would show up at a small town rodeo arena.
There were boots for sure.
But the bling! A little over the top!
And what is it about people that have to bring their little smooch-smooch dogs?
You know those little dogs that people treat like humans. And then spend all their time smooching them and letting them "smooch" them. Plus, all the smoochy dog talking.
Personally speaking-Yuck! But that is just me!
It was pretty breezy and nice for most of the competition. It held the kids attention most of the time.
Pre-competition. The kids watched the "cowboys" and "cowgirls" warm up on the grass behind us.
Bull riding
The escape cow!
Lots of bronco riding.
My little cowgirl!

In the kitchen
My grandmother spent the past week with us.
On Saturday, she needed to bake a cake for the family reunion on Sunday.
She got some little helpers to join her in the kitchen.
Here is a little cake baking between generation 1 and generation 4!

Along the way
On our way to visit family and friends two weeks ago, we stopped along the way and enjoyed some time with friends. We stopped at a yummy & kid-friendly place half-way between our homes.
The boys getting in some pre-dinner fun!
Can you tell that they all enjoyed their after-dinner ice cream?!!
This girl is serious about cleaning!
Our best attempts at a group shot before we said our good-byes!
It was refreshing to see our dear friends and have some time to catch up while the kids played.

New
Three weeks ago today, this sweet little girl joined my sister's family!
We enjoyed loving on her a lot while we were there!
Although many times, you could barely pry her out of my dtr's arms!

Tap, Tap, Tap
Anybody still out there?
If you are, then check back on Monday when I return.
Three sentences is about all I can muster for this week!
