Daddy Date Day


Today it was Maddie's turn to go on a special Date Day with Daddy. She was so excited! For her special day she chose to go to lunch and take Daddy shopping (his favorite:). She got to pick out her own outfit -and I let her wear it no matter how bad I wanted to dress her myself, though when it was all said and done I think she did a pretty good job, it was very "Maddie"...


I curled her hair and put it in "a side bun with a pink headband" just like she (very specifically) asked....


I helped her hunt her purse that she "wears across". I painted her nails and helped her remember to stay still while they dried all the way...


Then she stepped out and let Daddy see her! Daddy went on and on about how beautiful she was and she felt pretty and loved and special, and that kind of thing is important in a family. This little person is so very special to us, she is our resident stylist :), our funny girl, our BIG personality, and our compassionate little Maddie.


And she had a good time on her Daddy Date Day. :) By the way, I think Daddy is pretty special too for seeing the importance of these things. Maybe it has something to do with being the oldest of twelve children? Ya think? xo, Sam

Adorable! I love good daddy dates. Hope everything is going well in the Caffee household. God bless!
I have two beautiful girls that would love to have a special outing with their Dad...their big brother tends to grab a lot of Dad's attention, so this is a fabulous idea...cos girls need Dad's special time too.......

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
