Tuesday With Amber!

It's Tuesday! Traditionally that means a movie, Goodwill and art!
I did two out of three - I totally forgot about Goodwill!!!

I drove over to Dallas to meet up with Amber and take in a movie together.


Look how cute the Pumpkin Family is!!
Amber and Mike took the kids to a pumpkin carving party Sunday afternoon.
How cool is that?
I tried carving one once and it was a lot harder than I realized.
I was impressed with these.
I think Kailey's is on the left,  then Logan's, Trystan's and Harrison's!


They had the Pumpkins and Cat they painted back when they were little displayed on the front porch!
I remember they were still in the quad table and I gave them sponge brushes.
They base painted the pieces and I put it together and added details.


They still have the fence post scarecrows we made a few years ago and they are as cute as they ever were.


I love spending some quality time with my daughter.
For the last six years now most of our time together has revolved around and with the children.
Now that they are in school, we are slowly getting back to where we used to be.
I am so blessed that both Summer and Amber want to spend time with me.
I hope they always will.



This was our movie choice.
It was good. Slow. Kind of odd. Lots of  close ups of Robert Redford and Sissy Spacek.
My favorite scene was with Casey Affleck when he touched his nose the same way Robert Redford and Paul Newman did in The Sting. Priceless!


This is more Amber's type of movie!!

I went with her to pick the kids up at school and we went to Sonic for milkshakes before I headed home. I totally forgot to stop at Goodwill. It never even entered my mind.
I guess I was preoccupied with getting ready for my trip to Arizona.


I got my bags out last night and I packed them tonight.
All that I have to do tomorrow is some baking before I drive over to Fort Worth and visit Mother and the ladies at the nursing home. Then I'll spend the night at Nita and Mike's.
We will be meeting Deanie, Lonnie, Trish and Andie at 4:00 Thursday morning and begin our caravan drive to Arizona. I will be getting up early for five straight days.
So I guess I better go to bed now!

  1. The Quads did the best job on the pumpkins!!! I never would have believed that kids their age could do this. I could not myself. It is a lot harder than you would think. I KNOW how much fun you were having, because you never forget Goodwill!!! I hope you have a fantastic trip!

  2. So glad you had a wonderful day with your daughter... and perhaps there would have been nothing at Goodwill for you anyway, this week? That's the attitude we can always have, isn't it. :) Have a lovely visit at the nursing home and a safe & fun trip to Arizona. We'll all be here when you get back. Much love, Andrea xoxo

  13. All the pumpkins are so cute. They did good jobs.
    Have fun on your trip....and, yes, time with our kids is sooo important. I met my girl for lunch yesterday and neither of us was in a hurry...so we had a good visit.
    I don;t like seeing Redford close up...he's not aged well at all....
