Mike's Farm


90 min drive to Back Swamp, NC
$8 hay ride
1 hour standing in line

Seeing the look on my daughters face as she pointed at each of the light up displays noting each color, amazement @ the 'snow shower' from above, and watching her Aunt/Uncle/Cousins seeking her attention....PRICELESS. I think we

have definitely established a holiday ritual :)

**Yes, after the hayride we had a short wait for dinner...ALL YOU CAN EAT..which apparently i have a gift :)

Operation Christmas Child



All packed! Wonder where they'll end up? Praying for the 6 children who receive these this Christmas.
In a few months they'll send an update letting us know where the boxes went- we'll let you know!
Last year they went to Peru & we had no clue Seth would end up there last summer at the time!

A Night at Marbles






We enjoyed a great night at the Marbles Tailgate. We previewed the new Power to Play exhibit & enjoyed a great dinner. Lots of fun! Colin can't wait till he is big enough to play at Marbles too! He was a good sport & cheered on his big sis.

Lowes or Lowes???

My dear sweet husband was scanning the credit card bill today & he got a little upset & confused with the purchases at "Lowes". He interupted my shower to ask how we (meaning me) spent a good amount of $ at Lowes Food 4 days in a row. I was very confused. 1 of the totals would have been a big grocery trip, but I only do those every 2-3 weeks, so 4 days in a row made no sense, we could never eat that much food at 1 time.

I pulled up the calendar on the computer & thought really hard as to what I could have bought to make these charges. He said they were at 2 different Lowes...1 purchase at Lowes on Timber, & 3 at the Lowes at 42/50. I thought & thought....& those of you who really know Seth can only imagine what he was thinking & how nervous he was at this time! It just made no sense... I was trying to figure out what we even did that weekend to have gone to the grocery store 4 days in a row- how much could you forget to have to keep going back???!

Then I figured out that was the weekend Seth built the swing set & it hit me, that Saturday I didn't go anywhere at all- I had the kids in the house all day while they worked outside & then Sarah & Rachel came over for dinner. I didn't leave at all that day so how could this be?
The light came on....the 3 trips to Lowes at 42/50 wheren't the grocery store at all....Lowes home improvement! I looked at the print out carefully "Lowes Foods #227 Raleigh NC on 10/23" the other 3 said "Lowes #00677 Garner NC on 10/20, 21, & 22".......SETH you bought WOOD for a swing set!! & he thought I had totally blown the grocery budget or was about to blame Lowes food for credit card fraud! Oh Seth, I do love you & you do make me laugh!!!
