The Beach


We had a wonderful time on vacation! In those eight days we did a lot of this....laying around in pajamas with no make-up on....


...watching and listening to the waves roll in...



..lovin up on chubby little people...


...boat watching...

 

....playing in the water...


...LOTS of playing in the water...


...and playing volleyball.

But I just watched...


...they played until dark...


...and then there was lots more laughing, playing, snuggling, and giggling until we finally went to bed and got up to do it all over again. It was such a good, long, relaxing, break. Just what we needed!


I'm having to slow down a bit now with this growing little one... and before too long I will have to spend most of my days laying around on bed rest. I have been doing all I can since I've been home to get everything in order. I still can't believe I'm nearly half way through this pregnancy! In the days since I've been home I've been cleaning out closets, drawers, kids rooms, and doing all I can to make it easy on my family for when they have to do it all on their own. The office will be done in a few more days too! It's going to feel so good to have all of that in order too! I can't wait to show you! I'm pretty happy about getting my sewing loft back too.

I'm so glad to be back! So has anything new been going on with you? What are you guys up to?
xo, Sam

You look so relaxed. We had that kind of vacation early this summer and we definitely want to go back to the same spot. We did about the same things you did.

Hmmm... what have I been doing?
My daughters and I are preparing for a craft show (I can't wait) and a wedding. We're pretty busy.

Enjoy,
Pamela

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 ...

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 ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
