Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. ~ Isaiah 41:10
The week has been what I guess is normal for my crew. The small Roosters are still enjoying school. Nick got selected to be on the morning news this past week. He had to read a little spill about being responsible. Ironic since he is the least responsible child I have. Ha! Blake had a by week in terms of football games which gave us a break from running Friday evening.
Wednesday night I started my Fall Bible study on Gideon. It's a large crowd but my friend Elizabeth is going with me so it will be great to spend some time with her.
Yesterday I got Sister and we ran errands and picked up some things she needed. (I haven't shared this, but Heidi is bi-polar and doesn't drive due to the medications she has to take. I pick her up on the weekends so she can get out and I have more time to run errands with her.) Sister and I cooked supper and watched the Gamecocks play. It wasn't a very interesting game. The Alabama/A & M game was much better. I heard the gentlemen behind me in church today talking about it.
The weekends just roll by so quickly. I don't feel like I ever get to rest. Maybe things will slow down before the holidays are upon us. Anyway, here are a few pictures from the week.
I must say that the dress I decided to wear to church today is one that looks a LOT better on the hanger. It was really comfortable, but not one of my best on-line purchases. I probably should have paid the shipping cost to return it. Ha!
Our infamous after church pictures...My boys are getting tired of our photo shoots...Nicholas was sharing his opinion in this photo...
I'm still getting a few tomatoes off two bushes that haven't died yet. They are little but still really good.
Saturday night football...Opening kick-off for the Gamecocks yesterday...
Sister decided on supper last night. That ugly, orange rectangle is a Shake-n-Bake pork chop. Blah. I think I'll stick with frying them.
The Roosters wanted cookies, so I tried these turtle chocolate chip pop and bake ones. They were too salty for me. I think it was the caramel.
I think it is just the crisp in the air lately but for whatever reason I have been craving pumpkin. I baked a pumpkin pie last weekend, and yesterday I made pumpkin bars. My grandmother is probably in heaven shaking her head because when I was a child I wouldn't touch anything made with pumpkin.
Okay, so you know everything tastes better with a little sweet added to it. I decided to cover my bars with cream cheese frosting. Yummy!
And this is what my house smells like right now! I don't care for the summer fragrances, but I stock up when the Fall candles hit the shelves.
So, I am off to buy groceries since I wasn't in the mood to get that done yesterday. I should probably eat a little something first, as going to the grocery store on a half empty stomach is not a wise decision.
