Crew Martin: Halloween in the Sand

For Halloween weekend we went to the dunes. It was beautiful. Aside from the great weather, we were with great friends, my parents, and had a GREAT time. It was a really wonderful group to go with. Tyler, Adam, and Eric and Julia. The kids had a great time playing with Adams kids, Colby and Shelby. For the first time we really saw how much the kids LOVE going on rides in the sand buggy. We were so excited to see them truly enjoy the ride, with no fear, and no reservations.

We carved pumpkins headed up by Tyler and Katie. They put all the pumpkin seeds in the ground into a hole they had dug. It was so cute to watch them work together. It was quite the project Tyler and Katie took on. The kids loved it.

It was a quick weekend and we headed home, in which Halloween was on Monday. So we went to Walmart and bought 2 new movies to watch with the kids and some Candy to consume. They were completely satisfied and we were excited to avoid the Halloween chaos.

I sure love those little, crazy, sand loving munchkins!

Quotes About Motherhood

A Prayer for Womanhood God, give each true good woman Her own small house to keep, No heart should ache with longing, No hurt should go too deep..... Grant her age-old desire: A house to love and sweep. Give her a man beside her, A kind man, and a true, And let them work together And love, a lifetime through, And let her mother children As gentle women do. Give her a shelf for dishes, And a shining box for bread, A white cloth for her table, And a white spread for her bed, A shaded lamp at nightfall, And a row of books much read. God, let her work with laughter, And let her rest with sleep. No life can truly offer A peace more sure and deep.... God, give each true woman Her own small house to keep ~Grace Noll Crowell~ ~~~~~~1934~~~~~~

And that is our privilege as mothers – to rear Godly men and women to influence the world for God. I Timothy 2 and 3 discuss qualifications and roles of men in the church, but in the middle of it all, there is an intriguing little verse, I Timothy 2:15: “But women will be saved through childbearing – if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.” -Paula Wilson

"I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life." Abraham Lincoln

"The joys of motherhood are rare and beautiful treasures that can be easily missed if we don't seize the opportunity to grab them." Ginger Plowman

"My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of mw; and I felt that I had someone to live for; someone I must not disappoint." Thomas Edison
