Computer crash, and coming cuteness.

My laptop went bonkers last week! I do have a desktop, but I usually do most of my work on my laptop so that I can be wherever the kids are.....so I've been super slow about answering email. I'm sorry! My whole routine is off, we have been gone for like five days straight swimming and soaking in the summer. Also my mother-in-law hasn't been able to get email from me, and that makes me wonder how many other people haven't got email from me.  I sat on the phone with her one day and sent one email after another to her correct email address and she just never got them. So....what I'm trying to say is I promise to get caught up on email today, but if you need a response from me and don't get it today please email me back or give me a call tomorrow at (205) 433-9040 (that way I know that everyone gets taken care of).

On another note, Lily and Iris are coming to spend the night tonight!!!! I plan on having my camera ready in the morning so that I can get some sleepy happy pictures when they first wake up. Being an aunt ROCKS! But I do miss that I only get the sleepy morning cuddles every now and then, so tomorrow I'm going to get it all in pictures. Get ready for a serious cuteness overload people! xo, Sam

That sounds like fun, well except for the broken computer/email part. Looking forward to the cuteness. :)

Oh, when a computer crashes it can upset everything - we've all become soooo reliable on our computers, especially laptops that allow us to take our work with us wherever we might be. Glad you are back in business tho!

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
