The Call

Last night about 7:30, I got a text that I've always feared...."I'm lost in the woods and can't seem to get my bearings on where I am."
I didn't panic; just decided to wait until I heard from him again. 45 min later, I tried to call him but no answer. he finally called me about 8:30 to say I'm lost, call my dad, tell him I parked where we always park. So, the phone calls began! While we were all talking and trying to decide who to call, Peet decided to call Eric (j's brother) and send him out there to honk and flash his lights. In the meantime, a stranger saw his truck still there and was concerned and called 911. The dispatcher called me and wanted Jason's cell #, filled me in on how they knew, etc
Jason could see lights and thought it was Eric but they were talking on the phone and he wasn't that close to the woods. They were afraid it was someone spotlighting deer and Jason would be shot. Finally, he made it out of the woods and went straight to get something to EAT!!!
We were really afraid he would be spending the night in the woods! It was a long night!

Fall Festival

 Mamie and "Buzz Lightyear" passing out candy

 My friend, Amy Mayes, the Hippie! Her husband and son were also, but they had already changed when I took her picture.

Putting a "pie" in Pastor Pete's face-he's our student minister

We had a very fun day. I worked the registration area, standing at the enterance to our parking lot, and passed out information cards. Mamie passed out candy at my van and Landyn and Peet walked around, bounced, trick or treated at the cars, Kordyn worked at the youth snack shack helping sell jamblaya, frito pie, nachos, cokes, chips, and other goodies. I tried to win several neat things in the silent auction but was outbid by someone else. It was a great day, but my head and ears hurt so much from the wind! Landyn had soccer this morning also and it was cold and windy out there. We are camped out at home tonight and ready to just relax!

Guess who came to visit us? Our cousins Maggie, Kaleb, Aunt Amy, Uncle Jeff and Nana! Uncle Jeff and Aunt Amy were attending the Arkansas Baptist State Convention which was at Central Baptist. We enjoyed visiting with them, playing and watching Kordyn play football. Sad night though-MacArthur lost to Annie Camp-first game they've lost so far:(

Pumpkin bowling

Landyn has a friend at school, who's name is also Landon. He had a halloween party last Saturday and Landyn went to it as a soccer player. He's saving his real costume for the festival at church and trick-or-treating. It was a really fun party with a castle bouncy thing, bobbing for apples, doughnut eating with no hands, pumpkin bowling, pinata. Great party with great friends!

Fall Pictures

Last weekend, the boys and I took fall pictures at the Montessori School. They turned out so good!!! Landyn got really into the posing; Kordyn really didn't:) but at least I got a few good ones (and some that I can use for blackmail later in life:)

The weekend is finally here!

So glad it's finally the weekend. We did a little shopping tonight, love a good bargain at Kohl's! Finally found some new rugs for the kitchen floor-with the perfect combination of brown, creme and green! And, bought a baby present for a shower next week-really needing a baby fix!!! I know so many people who have had boys lately!!!Good thing my niece and new baby nephew will be here on Monday! And, Kord got some jeans-wasn't sure if he and Landyn were going to make it out of there alive but they did:) While Jason checked out, I took the "screamer" to the car-he was sad because he couldn't have the huge remote controlled truck!

Tomorrow: a photo shoot at school. I am helping 2 teachers with their babies and taking pics of Landyn,too. Made a deal with Kord that he wouldn't have to go tomorrow but he has to on Sunday morning really quick on the way to church.
Then, it's a Halloween party for one of Landyn's friends. So glad soccer got cancelled:) After all this excitement, I will start the cleaning of this cluttered house:)
Can't wait to see my family on Monday!

Fall Decorating

 Painted pumpkin from Taylor's Greenhouse in Hoxie, Ar

 Loved this painted pumpkin-reminds me of Landyn!

 Some of my favorite things: Lamp, cookbook, caramel candle and pumpkin plate

 Another favorite cookbook and Landyn's haunted house he made with Mammie and Emma (ignore all of the junk around it:)

 Chalkboard stand and tray-not sure what Landyn wrote on there tho

 This pumpkin lights up but Landyn doesn't like it very much. Trying to find something to hang on that black stand

Fall plate, candle, painted pumpkin and fall girl-a gift from a co-worker

My favorite: Harvest China. Love these plates! And the bargain I got on them at TJ Maxx!

And that is my fall decoration tour for the year! Didn't do much outside since it's been 90 degrees up until last week-just didn't feel like fall to me!
