We are Home



Boy it's hard to come back to reality after a trip like that! We walked back in to the craziness that is a family wedding. Ben's baby brother, my "first" baby (just a sweet 6 year old boy when we started dating) David, got married to one of the sweetest girls on the planet this past weekend. We arrived home just in time to help decorate, be in the wedding, send them on their way to Mexico, and clean up. It was a beautiful wedding! 


Then we had to clean up at home. WOW! Outside we had a mess from the crazy last few minutes of finishing the camper before we left, the inside was fine, until we unpacked! Oh my goodness! It took me until today to get it all back in order, but just now my house is clean, the clothes are washed and put away, school has resumed, and I feel like its a home again. 


Today we did school on the porch and had an easy day. We have a few stuffy noses and scratchy throats so an easy day was just what we needed. I'm already thinking about all of the pictures and journal quotes that are coming soon. My goodness it was such a wonderful trip! I can't wait to tell, but for now home again feels good. xo, Sam

PS. I've got a new app for blogging! (Look HERE to see the app.) It solves all of my problems that I've had with blogging apps before. I can upload pictures in the size I want, add links, format the post how I like, so far I feel like its as good as being at the computer! I thought you may like to know. :)

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
