It's been around a month since we moved to Arkansas. And I'm thankful we aren't back to a month ago when we were hauling our stuff across two states! Whew! That was a whole lot of work.
We seem to be getting into some sort of routine. Justin and Jaxson head off to school. Julie and I have lots of bonding time during the day.
Usually when Jaxson gets home from school, they both play dress up.
Or draw pictures. Or play outside when it's nice.
Grocery shopping is always an adventure down here. Remember when I found the smoked turkey necks by the collard greens? Well, I've had other fun food finds too.
Pickled Pigs feet. Huh.
Can I tempt you with hog jowl or hock? What is hock?!
Larry the Cable Guy has his own line of chips.
But with every weird (to me!) food that I find, I can name off many foods that I love. Shrimp Po'boys, crawdads, and Golden Flake Dill Pickle chips are just a few.
Jaxson is doing real good in school. He struggled with math when we first got here but he just brought home this test.
Yay! I was very proud of his A+. He worked hard for it.
And the weather here is crazy too. It's gone from 80 degrees to in the low 20's in just one week. Tonight we may get some snow fall, but it won't stick. And then by Thanksgiving it will warm back up again.
Which is good. These leaves are not going to rake themselves up!
I've been working hard in my yard to get the leaves picked up just so another windstorm can blown more back in!
