Man Night

‎Tuesday and Wednesday were a little busy around here. That night I wrote "10 boys, 48 canned cokes, 5 pizzas, 30 hot dogs, 4 packs of chips ahoy cookies, watchin' Wipe-out....this is good stuff!!!" Tim had a man night with all of his little friends and Claire and I were the only girls allowed.
 

This was Ben's system for keeping up with who's drink was who's. I thought it was smart, and hilarious!


I also wrote that night "My living room resembles a kicked ant bed, smells like a locker room, and sounds like a boy scout camp-out. These ten boys are rockin' my face off!" Boy did we have fun! Bedtime was at 3 AM and they were all up by 8 AM. Ben took them swimming in the creek, they scooted, skated, and rode things with wheels down "the big hill going to the chicken pen". My little man was so happy to be in "boy world" for a couple of days, but when I asked him "Do you miss your girls?" He said "Yeah, I bet they miss me too since I miss them." *melt* I guess when you are a little boy who has to live in "girl world" a man night is good every now and then, but I was so glad that he missed his girls! An old saying comes to mind "Bloom where you're planted." ....yeah, my sweet little guy is good at that. :) ~xo, Sam

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 ...
