Today… my cup runneth over.

 I am blessed beyond measure..

just plain thankful!

*****

..and all the little turkeys at Harris house wish Y'all

HAPPY 

THANKSGIVING!

{Grinch 2013}

Well… we survived the Festival of Trees, tech week, Choir performances, and THE GRINCH!  But barely…  I am tired!  I hate to even admit the defeat that entails.. but y'all I am.  

*****

My little Who was precious!

*****

I stayed back stage {through it all but wouldn't have it ANY other way}.  Cooner got her a rainbow loom instead of flowers… She has been wanting one for a month!  We got her a bouquet of rainbow bands for her loom and an organizer :)

*****

She danced around all day everyday for weeks now… Her daddy obliges her when she desires a lift.. or 10.

*****

.. and what you do for one!  Although I do not see dance in his immediate future.  He said rather pitifully "he hoped his pretty little wife doesn't like ballet!"  I died laughing. I always refer to his future wife as his "pretty little wife" in terms of him trying new foods and appreciating cleaned floors.  I tell him that one day "his pretty little wife" might make him beans and he must LOVE it and appreciate ALL that she does to make his house a home.

*****

All the whos in whoville were tired afterwards…  

But it was an amazing show!  

Great job CPAC!!!!!!!!!

girls girls GIRLS!!!

My girl's weekend was wonderful!  I spent it with these precious souls…

*****

I'm blessed to have women like these in my life!  They are the ones that sit up til wee hours of the morning catching up.  It's like a good 'ole episode of "Days of our Lives" where you haven't watching in a year but can get right back into kind.  I adore those kind!  

*****

Cooner is here :)  We haven't had a minute to catch up or relax since she got here.  But… our tree is completed for the Festival of Trees - Amen and thine the glory!  Somehow I knew it was gonna be okay with her here :)  And it was!   Our tree was a labor of love but turned out beautiful!! Now… we are getting geared up for the Grinch.  My sweet Prissy has a week ahead that makes my craziness seem like small potatoes.  More to come….  

happy birthday..

to the best: friend, husband, daddy, teacher, back massager, heating pad turner oner, Lego builder, dolly player, cheese cake maker, fun gift buyer, razor changer outer, chandelier hanger, kid teeth brusher, gasoline filler upper, video maker, trash taker outer, grass mower, air filter changer outer, pine straw raker upper, basketball/soccer/baseball coacher, picture hanger upper, joke teller, coffee maker, eye doctor-er, furniture re-painter, bargain seeker outer, & humble server that I know.  I adore you!  The kiddos and I thank God for you everyday and wonder why we were the lucky ones to get to call you ours.  I hope that today and everyday you know how much you are loved!!

XXOX,

"I like big busts and I can not lie.."

so… for like 2 years now I have been wanting a bust.  I have no discrimination- man/woman smile/grimace big/small… just a bust.  Cooner and Aunt Betty have scoured the greater Indiana area in search of one.  

*****

Finally in August- I found one. 

 I {heart} him.

*****

Then last week I found grumpy gils here.

  I {heart} him too. 

 I told y'all NO discrimination!

*****

Then yesterday, while on the lookout for Festival of Tree things {more on that very soon}.  I spied with my little eye this beauty.  Yes! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder cause I squealed when I saw him.  He loves his new home.  I {heart} him too!

*****

Today I'm off with the girls to our annual girls weekend at the beach.  I am SO excited that I can't stand myself.  We are doing our "favorite things" party again- can't wait to see what they love this year.  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to my sweet hubby who is manning the homestead in my absence.  I'm a lucky gal!!! A lucky gal who is gonna miss these 2 little clowns…

*****

But… these came in the mail!  And how could Disney World get any more fun I ask you?  Well offer  fancy schmancy brackets with your name and you get to choose the color… that's how. 

 GENIUS!!!
