Sick, sick, sick

We have been battling one thing or another for almost a week now. Tim started us off last week with an infected tooth and our first round of antibiotics, then Molly got a bad (bad bad!) sinus infection and the second round of antibiotics......yesterday (after a somewhat well weekend) Tim, Molly, and I all started feeling bad. The flu has been moving through our area like crazy in the last couple of weeks and I have a feeling it may have caught us. I have lots to show and tell from the past week, but it will have to wait until this old body feels better. The one thing that makes me feel better is that I have talked to our family and we all agreed that if we are all sick for Christmas we will just move it back a week. I hope it doesn't come to that, but it's nice to not have to stress over my kids missing something like Christmas, and to just be able to rest and feel better. If I don't see you all again before then, I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas! The non-sick kind! xo, Sam

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
