Here is a look back at our past week here in our country home...
Last week was all about Candy Corn in our schoolroom.
We read about it, watched a video on how it was made, did our favorite art project, and even did a few science experiments with it. We did everything but eat it!
Before Mass pictures were fun on Saturday...
And watching the Steeler game on Sunday was too.
This bunch plus Uncle Chris went and had a blast.
Flynn and I had just as much fun during our special "Just You and Me" day at home.
We watched tv, snuggled, baked, and took the puppies for a long walk. : )
Tuesday mornings are McDonald's days...
And lately, I am enjoying a hot cup of French Vanilla Latte.
Sooo good.
And if you don't have it already, get the McDonald's app.
They have the best coupons!
I usually get my coffee free!
My girl has decided she needs glasses.
Good thing Madison had a pair of fake ones leftover from an old Halloween costume. : )
I got Peyton a ghost cake mold for her birthday, and this week our friend and pastor came over and we made this awesome cake! I am only showing you the front for a reason!!!
Still so much beauty in our part of the world.
So cozy outside during the day...
And inside during the evenings too.
Have a wonderful weekend, my friends.
And could I ask a favor...would you please send up a prayer for Steve's beautiful mother?
Mum is nearing the end of her time here with us.
She is so ready for her Heavenly Reward.
And I know it will be amazing.
Steve went to visit her this week, and as he sat beside her, she reached out to put her hand on her baby's knee.
I think about life coming full circle again...
Those same hands once held this man as a new born baby.
Now...they reach out to say goodbye.
Thank you, my friends.
Have a cozy weekend.
Meredith spotted the Minnie bow on Flynn's shirt from across the room. Lol! Have a wonderful cozy Halloween weekend and time with Marian! I love Peyton's ghost cake!

Prayers for Steve's mom! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I can't wait to hear all of the fun activities you do over the weekend for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteBillie Jo, I will add your MIL to my prayer list. May God grant her peace and comfort. Love all your decor. That Halloween book looks adorable. I bet my grandchildren would enjoy it. xo
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post. I love your ghost cake!!! I will keep Steve's mother in my prayers. She will soon know happiness beyond our earthly comprehension. I will pray for you and your dear husband as well. Warm hugs my friend. Juli
ReplyDeleteI love your cozy days and your even cozier nights. My days are not spent inside my home as they used to. I miss these walls but I'm okay too. It must be God's grace because I love making my classroom a warm and welcoming place for those 18 sweet 4th graders.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Marion is visiting for the weekend to make it extra special for you.
Have the best Halloween ever! xoxo tara
How wonderful to have your longtime friend coming to share this special weekend with you. Prayers are been said for your sweet Mother in Law.
ReplyDeletePrayers for your mother in law!
ReplyDeleteLove all the pretty decor...and especially that glowing candle!
Also...after reading this post, I made my way to McDonald's to try a latte. Delicious!! Thanks for sharing. =)
All I can think to say is a beautiful post. Prayers for your mother in law too.
ReplyDeleteToday's post hit too close to home. I just lost my Dad the last week of September and that's what he wanted to do too, just keep his hand on my knee. I also took pictures and will treasure them forever. So hard, I'm such a Daddy's girl!!! I know he's with Jesus and no longer suffering, but it doesn't make it any easier.
ReplyDeletePrayers for peace and comfort for your family through this difficult time!
Blessings from the OH/PA Border........🌻🌻🌻
