Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Christmas
I'm tooting about all the things I "haven't" done! I'm tooting because I'm stress free!
I've had the most wonderful few weeks leading up to Christmas. I have managed to put all the chaos of baking, shopping, card writing and such aside. It's just not necessary! Don't get me wrong though, I've definitely done my share of cooking and shopping, but I decided to make it simple. The food still taste good and my children will be getting a nice array of presents. We even hosted a beautiful party at my house.

I have learned that it doesn't all have to be perfect to be "perfect!"
I have allowed my children to believe in Santa Claus for the first half of their childhood. Does this make me a liar? Does God look down on the parents who buy presents for their children and place a tag on the gift that says "From Santa Claus?"I got into a friendly debate this past week with a good friend of mine. She feels very strongly against Christians allowing Santa into their Christmas celebration. I understand her feelings, but I feel that it is a harmless fantasy which creates excitement and creativity in a child's mind. I believe Christ followers can find a balance that allows for all the "magic" of Christmas. What is your opinion? Look at these next two pictures. Glynis has distorted the story of Jesus' birth just a bit. She wants to be Mary. She insists that Jesus is a girl and that Daddy play Joseph! Talk about magical!!

Toasty Tuesday
I much prefer the weather we had on Thanksgiving Day. 65ish! Actually, that was the temp in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We drove down there to have turkey with my Dad.
After turkey, the kids and I drove over to Jockey's Ridge State Park and ran around on the sand dunes...One of my favorite places ever!

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Fall-ing
Anyway, Glynis and I have spent plenty of time jumping in the leaves this past week. Isn't she a beauty? I wish she always looked (acted) so sweet. (see picture 3)


Lovely pumpkins aren't they? I opted to paint rather then carve.
My husband and sons carved a couple
and they turned out wonderful,
but they are long gone having dried up within a couple days.

Toot HIS Horn!
I use to be such a good blogger. Well... at least I was consistent! If you have time, go back to some of my older posts and take a peek.
I've just needed some inspiration!

Last weekend I went on a retreat with the ladies of my church to Watermarks Camp in Scottsville, VA. What a memorable event!
We worshiped together and played together in one of God's most beautiful settings.
We watched video and studied Priscilla Shirer's book "He Speaks to Me."
What a great speaker she is. It was as if she were right there with us at camp. She made me laugh, but mostly she made me think about the obstacles in my life that keep me from hearing when God really wants me to listen. I am so ready to slow myself down! Life these days can be stressful and busy, can't they? Are you taking time to listen to what God has to tell you? Open your heart and He is there!!
If you're familiar with my blog then you know how much I love taking pictures...Talk about a great photo-op! Look at all I did in those 2 1/2 days! (almost killed myself on the high ropes course!)

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Halloween
Well, something I CAN'T toot about is my consistent blogging! I've been so bad!! I'll get better though.
Halloween is approaching and yes I enjoy playing along with the dress up and trick or treating. We're having a party this weekend too. Here's a couple of cool photos of friends and family I've edited for the occasion. Enjoy your Tooting!!
