I'm sorry! Please forgive me.

I have been trying to upload your 2nd crochet tutorial everyday for the last four days! I finally realized last night that the video file was a little too big; so I will have to redo the whole stinkin thing! Well....your worth it.
I couldn't leave you with no pictures, and my sweet friend Sheila has asked for a funny kid story, so here ya go. The other day I peeked outside to check on the kids and this is what I saw. They were canoeing. In the yard. I wasn't allowed in the boat.....cause it might sink. They later rode the canoe down the hill in our front yard. Crazy kids! Later that day Tim told me, while patting my belly, "mama yoow fat, yoow eat too much". Well he's honest I'll give him that! LOL!

Well if I'm fat it's from giving birth to these three little angels, so I think it's well worth it. Just look what I get to see when I wake up in the morning. She sleeps in her own bed at night, but after daddy leaves in the mornings, she sneaks in. I absolutely love it. I wouldn't trade this for a flat belly any day!

Isn't she lovely!

Adorable-thanks for brightening my morning today! I love that your kids play outside and have imagination.
Kids tell it like it is don't they? I had a friend's little girl pat my tummy and ask me if there was a baby in there (and I wasn't pregnant). I agree Samantha, we women have to accept that childbirth may take away our tight flat bellies, but look what you get-there is no comparison.

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
