These sweet sugars are some good helpers when it comes to baking cupcakes!



I think this one has had all she can take!

Hope y'all have a safe night from the storms. We will be stuffing ourselves with cupcakes all night!

1950's Housewife?

I was looking at the blogs this morning and came across Tara's blog and saw where she had heard on a radio program about the duties of a 1950's housewife. I was interested to see what those "duties" were so I searched the topic and came up with this...

HOW TO BE A GOOD WIFE
Home Economics High School Text Book, 1954


*Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal, on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.

*Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so that you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.

*Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the home just before your husband arrives, gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift, too.

*Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair, and if necessary change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.

*Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer, dishwasher, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad he is home.

*Some don'ts: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he is late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.

*Listen to him. You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.

*Make the evening his. Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, his need to be home and relax.

*The Goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.


While I love all things home, I am feeling a little inadequate! I don't think I have mastered all these just yet! How about y'all?!?!


**Then...this shocked me even more! As I was searching for the above article, this link came up. Check out some of the topics that are listed here! The condition of this world is scary y'all!!!

Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Trick-or-Treat & More...

This year I thought we would have lots more fun trick-or-treating, but I think I was wrong. I have had John Luke's costume for ages, and every time he would see it hanging in his closet, he wanted to wear it. He would run around the house squealing "MICKMICK!" But when it came time to actually wear it to go trick-or-treating, he was so mellow! WHO KNOWS?! Sometimes he can be hard to figure out!!













The other day, John Luke kept telling me Baby Wrench was sleepy. I couldn't figure out what he meant so I told him to show me. So he brought his wrench into the living room wrapped up in a blanket and started "putting him to sleep"...
1st he fed him...

Then he burped him...

Next he layed him in the swing and covered him up...

Then he turned on the swing...

And there you have it...a sleeping, sleepy Baby Wrench! And we don't think they pay us any attention!!!

AND LASTLY...
Mamy got a RING!

Dance!

Okay, so I don't condone the lifestyle of Ellen DeGeneres, but I couldn't help but watch this clip from her show today. These are the back-up dancers for what was going to be Michael Jackson's last tour "This is it". No matter the opinion on Michael Jackson, I must admit he was the most talented dancer God ever created! And these people are pretty darn good themselves. Oh, How I would love to be able to move like this!!! It just makes me want to jump up and DANCE! How much fun would that be?!?!

The eyebrows...straight from her daddy. My mother says I frowned just like this, I'm not sure about that, but I do know her daddy sure does!!!


John Luke's new favorite seat...perched right on top of the coffee table, right on top of our wedding album. Makes no difference to him what he is eating or drinking. For instance here it is a melting popsicle. Will I ever not care about the mess????


And finally, thank you to Grammie Sue and Papa Wayland for the sweet Halloween cards!

He was reading his to me...

Have a great weekend! Hope everyone has a wonderful time with their little trick-or-treaters!!

Mickey, Ghosts, Painting, & Sweet Babies...

It has been a busy place around here... but fun kind of busy. I have been trying to be a little more crafty. I love to see all the fun crafts others do, but I never get around to making things myself. (And I'm NOT crafty in the least bit!) I just like to wish I could be! We did get around to making some very cute little ghosts (with lots of help from Grammie Sue). And we painted some pictures along with other things. (You will see in the pics below).

So we made it to the Mickey show. (Or MickMick as John Luke calls him). After a slight delay (I thought all along the show was at the Shakespeare Festival. I was wrong! We get there and we are the only humans in sight except 3 others who were sunning on blankets, and feeding the 10,000 geese that were roaming around. So we go up to the building, all the doors are locked, the lights are off, and we finally see the sign on the front door says CLOSED SUNDAYS. So John goes into official panic mode! (He does NOT handle sudden change or any kinds of bumps in the road very well at all!!!) It is now 1:15, the show starts at 1:30 and we have no idea where to go or how to get there. John grabs the tickets and finds that it is being held at the Montgomery Performing Arts Center. (Don't know why I haven't checked this out already! I guess I just had it so dead-set in my mind it was at the Shakespeare Festival that I had never even read the tickets!) So we go running back to the car, and on the way we stop and ask 2 of the 3 other people where and how to get to the Performing Arts Center. Well ofcourse all they know is that it is downtown! Wow! That helps a lot! Anyway, to keep from typing from now until next week, let's just say we made it. 10 minutes late, but we made it and John Luke seemed to enjoy himself and that's all that matters!

Most of the show he looked like this with his hands in his mouth. Can't imagine why we can't get well around here!!!






Our cutsie little ghosts...


I love the FALL!

John Luke's pretty picture...

Sweet babies...



Precious sleeping babies...I LOVE this picture! I wanted to kiss and love them to pieces!

3 Months Old

Our sweet baby girl is now 3 months old! She is feeling much, much better! *(Thank you Julie and others for the advice on goat milk. I now think much more highly of goats!) I call her our little goat, because she sometimes actually smells like one! Not the most pleasant smell, but hey, it's worth it!!!) She has slept through the night 3 nights in a row! Hallelujah! She smiles a lot, talks a lot, and loves to be held! She is still just a tiny thing, with long arms and legs. Maybe she will be tall and skinny! She is very aware of her big brother and loves for him to talk to her and love her. When she hears him talking she will turn her head and try to find him. I have a feeling in the next little while they will be best buddies! She has decided that she does not like her carseat, so that makes for some very long rides. But overall she is becoming a pleasant little baby and we are enjoying her! Thankfully!

Tomorrow we are going to the Shakespeare Festival to see Playhouse Disney Live. We are all very excited!

Also, we created some extremely cute little ghosts with lots of help from Grammie Sue. They are totally the sweetest/cutest things ever! I had so much fun! Pictures to come...

But for now... Our sweet baby girl...
