{A fun place to be}

I am just full of pictures tonight, but I keep finding ones I really like. This picture just reminds me of how sweet and fun kids are!

{Cute print}

I love this cute vintage Halloween print.

{Crazy 8}

Found these sweet little outfits on another blog. They are from Crazy 8, an inexpensive Gymboree. Kind-of like Old Navy to Gap. Good to know. . . I love cute that's inexpensive.

{Immediate Attention}

I am going to stay home today, and give my house the care it needs!! I am in a bad laundry situation. . . so its time to get it done. I've got the summer ready for totes and the winter ready for hangers. I will not be posting a picture of this embarrassing situation.
By the way, I am doing all of this with Target on my mind.
Love,
Tonia

{On the beat}

{Last swim of the summer}

Clayton & Connor
Little Miss Lily
Connor & Buddy
This is the picture that I planned on putting in the Greenwood Democrat for my August Birthday Boys. . . but it didnt make it.
We had a good summer. Kind of rough at first with Buddys finger, but he FINALLY got to swim after months of therapy. Now he has a special little finger. Thank you Lord and Chris Honeker (an awesome OT)!

{First Day of School}

Lily has Mrs Mickle. She is loving her class!
Carson has Mrs. Alford. He wants to go everyday! His best friend is Addison. He is the only boy in the class, so he "takes care of the girls"!

Clayton and Mrs. Krogstead. She is such a blessing to our family.
This little girl doesnt like to get up in the mornings!!!

By the way, I am not crazy but Stephanie (FBC secretary) helped me figure out how to ad pictures today. Bless her little heart!

{Fun Fall Weekend}

Fun Family & Freinds Weekend!!

{Good~Bye Sweet Old Yellow}

Tree my kiddos used to climb!

We closed last week but I wanted to share photos of my "Sweet Old Yellow" with you. I hope and pray that this home will be full of blessings for Dave and Betty (Harriett Hickeys sister) as it was for Mr. Hobbs and I. We met with Rocky yesterday and he said he'll get started in a couple of weeks. I am very thankful for this time.

{Project for Mr. Hobbs Mom}

Now girls, Lets not kid ourselves. . . we can do this for our sweet little chicks for Halloween. . . so here we go lets get our sewing machines fired up! This picture is from Peanutbearys, but hey with a little creative juice we can do it ourselves. . .with a little help from Grandma.

{Cute}

Arent these little pom-poms cute?

I love these on pillows and clothes.

{Happy Birthday, Mom}

Well, you know how I shared with you I had LOTS of kids this weekend so I thought I would share the love with Mom on her special day! Her and Kenny headed out early to Queen Willamina to have lunch at the Lodge, and when she got home we were All waiting on her! 7 kids with 7 huge pumpkins!! We had a ball! We carved, carved, and carved some more. I have pictures , of course, and I will share them with you as soon as I can.
I found Mom a fall arrangement at Lisa B's. She has beautiful fall things.

Happy Birthday Mom! I think this is the second year we've done this sort of thing on your birthday. . . sounds like a new tradition to me. Aren't you the lucky one?

Love,
Tonia

{Fun Fall Day}

{The 3 S's}

I am looking forward to reading your updates!! Sharon, Shannon, and Sherry! Have a good day!
I'll let you know what I have decided to do for Moms Birthday later. Pretty Funny Stuff!
Love,
Tonia

{Hours at the Park}

I took the kids ( +2 , I am babysitting) and met Angie with her 3 ( + 1, Dan), so let's see - I am doing the math in my mind, 9 total to the park today. We had the best time! Had the new E Fort Smith, great weather, and good conversation! It went so well I was tempted to stay until dark and all I would have to do is baths and bed (at 3:00 I was having those thoughts)!!!

They have added some "Porta' Pottys" so no more hiding behind trees. Perfect.

Tomorrow is my Moms birthday, what will I get her?

Talk Later.
Love,
Tonia

{0 fabric}

I finally made it to the fabric store today. This Hancocks didn't have Sandi Henderson fabric as her website suggested. . of course. I couldn't find one thing. . . I would like to go to the Fabric Gallery in Springdale sometime. Maybe that will happen before my kids are in middle school.

Love,
Tonia

{Little Miss Doodle}

Meeting with Mrs. Mickle went great also. She said Lily gets really tired and still falls fast asleep during nap time. Ahhhh, poor baby. Not a word about the little sweet extras all over her papers either. . .
Everyone needs a little "doodle" in their life, right?

Love,
Tonia

{1 down, 1 to go. . . }

I met with Clayton's teacher, and all is well. I mentioned this whole Bonkugon (who knows how to spell it, and I really don't care) situation. . . My thing is I have NEVER bought Clayton one but he continues to come home with them by the loads. . . and I am thinking, Me and Mr. Hobbs have always had a "no toy to school" rule so what happened to that? I am also thinking some kids mom has bought these things and I really don't want there to be any questions about Clayton having something that doesn't belong to him. To avoid this silly story from getting any longer, we have officially decided NO MORE TOYS AT SCHOOL. . . our original plan. But this started almost immediately after school started and I apparently wasn't at the top of my game.

We will meet with Lily's teacher at 7:10. I am anxious to see what she thinks of Lily's extra "mumbo jumbo" or "flair" she ads to her papers. Hopefully she will think it is totally necessary.

We'll talk later. Tonia

{Slow Cooker Day}

I love that saying! Of course, those of you I have confided in about this whole "Blogging World" (that sucks you in like a kid sucking helium from a balloon) know where I got that line!!
AHHHH'!! Regardless of my copycattin' that is so how I feel sometimes. Where is the motivation to get this housework done? I will be sorta' busy tomorrow tying up some loose ends at church, but by tomorrow afternoon I should be able to get my house fresh and squeaky clean.

• Mr. Hobbs has drill this weekend.
• Kids are healthy, again. For now. . . thank you, Lord.
• Closed on Little Yellow House today.
• I am looking forward to no school on Friday.
• Still haven't made it to the fabric store!
• Wondering what Clayton and Lily's teacher will say at PTC tomorrow night.
• Wonder what Carson will wear for his MDO pictures?
• Wonder if Shannon would notice if I brought my whole family? LOL!

Well, those are all the highlights on my mind right now. . .

Talk Later.

Love,

Tonia
