Broken Teeth

See the big space between his front teeth......well.....THAT WAS NOT THERE 5 MINUITES AGO!!! He broke it on a cup. YES, a cup! Well off to the dentist! This boy has been a little accident prone this week. Hopefully this will be it for the rest of the week! This first pic is his "daddy mad face", and with the black eye, it's pretty hysterical.
OK, off subject. I made this dress for Molly last night. It's a "rub off" of her favorite night gown . She loves it! I will probably make Maddie one tonight. I know.......it's matchy.......shu-up! hehe.

Kim, if Grace needs one of these just let me know. My house is dirty.

Just in case you all are wondering, Kim is one of my best friends. She is a wonderful cook and housekeeper. And when I say wonderful I mean she enjoys it! She loves it! She is amazing at it. So, we have this little agreement. I sew and she cooks and helps me stay organized. Sometimes I think this deal is a little one sided. I mean I love to sew it is not really work, but she says she loves the arrangement. So we are a happy pair!

Am I on a roll this week or what! I have posted almost every day. My car has not left the driveway. Maddie has been sick with a summer cold and now I am coming down with it too. Ben has been either out of town or at the fire station for two weeks. I posted today so he could see Tim's teeth. I do realize that is weird.... Hey what can I say, I'm a firefighters wife! haha.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
