Pumpkin Poop

Between Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, the holiday season has officially started. This is a time of year busy with baking, shopping, and cute crafts. Here's one of my favorite Halloween crafts: Pumpkin Poop.

The poem goes like this:

I started to carve a pumpkin
with my carving knife and scoop,
But the pumpkin got so scared
He took a little poop!

It looked so cute and funny
just like a candy treat
So I’m sharing it with you now
because you are so sweet!

They make great handouts for Trunk-or-Treat or just for friends. Just print out the poem and then staple it to a cellophane bag of candy corn. They're so cute and super easy.

The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways

Written by Freckles
"Pray Always, Be believing, and all things shall work together for thy good." The Lord has given us a guide to a successful life, but sometimes life just does not seem fair. I know that I cannot see the bigger picture, but sometimes I wonder why some things happen. Over the past two weeks, I have been through so many trials that I can barley cope.
Just last Tuesday, my beautiful blue Lexus ES300 was parked in my driveway, when an elderly woman jumped a barrier wall and totaled it. Afterwards, I felt such an overwhelming gratitude for life. If the accident had been five minutes earlier, I would probably no longer be on this earth.
Today, however, I am once again questioning life's hardships. The five of us -- Mom, Feisty, Tender Heart, and Sassy -- were in the car coming back from cross-country, when our rental car was wrecked. Rear ended by another car, we were in total shock. Why has the Lord put these trails into our life? After a quick prayer, we regained composure. I know that the Lord has a reason for all things. Though our eyes are blinded by the temporal, he has a bigger picture. With faith, we must press forward reguardless of what lies ahead.

Me and My Good Eggs

Hi! Hello! Aloha! Hola! Howdy! Or as we like to say down here in Tennessee, Hey y'all. My name is Melody and I'm blog crazy. The truth is I really just like to read them, but my daughter insisted that I make my own. So she controls the widgets and the html; my only job is to write the entries. Easier said than done. : ) I don't do much besides take care of my five beautiful girls - one of which just got married.

Here they are!
