The anticipation!


I LOVE THIS!!! We have been having the best time the last few days! It's so much fun! Last night we went window shopping at the mall and ate Cindy's Cinnamon Rolls. I've been able to get out of the house almost everyday. Friday night we went grocery shopping, who knew that could be so much fun?! But more fun even than getting out of the house is the anticipation! The knowing that any day we could get our BIG surprise! It's not a worried anticipation, like I'm used to, it's the blissed out, we are finally here kind. I've never felt this way before! It's so much fun! We have about one million conversations a day about when the baby will come, what the baby will be, who will be the most surprised. I've done some nesting on my own and that has been fun too. :) 

We went to Target the other night to get Claire some long sleeved t-shirts and she begged for this skirt! She just held it up to her and said over and over "My! My! My!" I forgot how much fun that kind of thing is. I posted yesterday as a little update on our Facebook page "Having an extra week to hold Claire like it may be her last day to be the only baby = priceless! I'm cherishing every little moment and every little kiss. :)"  So, no baby at the Caffee house yet, but I sure am having a good time in the waiting. Maybe tonight will be the night! Or maybe I will get one more day of enjoying all of this....who knows? Either way it's fine with me. Every day is just such a huge blessing! Praise the Lord! 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
