Fall Fun at the Woolly Worm Festival

Choosing the perfect Woolly Worm(Fuzzy Catepillar). I hope we get a fast one.

No Joke, there is an actual festival in Banner Elk, North Carolina in honor of this furry little creature. Everyone races their "wooly worm" up staged ropes for a grand prize of $1,000. Quite a sum for such a little guy.

Corn Chex and Ketchup?

Maycie's unusual snack request of corn chex and ketchup. She must get her delicate palate from her dad.

My Favorite Sound

I'm listening to my favorite sound, which is my three children playing harmoniously together. How blessed I am.

Not-so-good Mom Moment

Today I'd been a bit grumpy and I'm afraid I took it out on the kids a bit. My patience level was nearly non existent. However, Maycie quickly humbled me. Tonight as I was putting her to bed, with big blue puppy dog eyes and in her sweetest voice she said, "Mom, tomorrow will you please not be so mad?" OUCH!! Right to the heart. I promise I'll be better tomorrow. Thank goodness kids are so darn forgiving.

Good Mom Moment

I love my kids. They can be so sweet to each other. The other day Alex showed affection to his sisters by bringing them their special blankets- their favorite comfort item. It was so cute how he handed them each their own blanket and how he ate up the affection his sisters gave him for his good deed. That was definitely a good mom moment.

Safety Boy!

It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's safety boy, or techno boy!!!
