My Week in Pictures

This lady now sits like a little monkey to eat, I call her Mowgli, this child is a HOT MESS!

I take a lot of morning pictures, the kids and babies are all just so cuddly then that it makes me want those memories forever, I bet I have thousands of them.....and I still want thousands more.

Summer breakfast just went into effect. I am a creature of habit, it's coffee, two eggs and turkey bacon all winter. In the summer I make what I call backyard breakfast I cram all of the veggies I can into my two eggs (they are hardly ever the same veggies, though tomatoes are always there). I'm happy for the change, I've been waiting on these veggies!

While I worked one afternoon around nap time Penny just helped herself to the floor. Poor baby! You see how hard she has to work?!

One morning with all five piled in....love.

I documented a "family Heirloom" before it gets passed along to cousins. My Aunt Rita made this for my sister before she died, even though the kids never knew her its special to them too.

Youch! I had to put Penny in disposables when this yeast rash popped up on her little fat roll. We don't want yeast in our cloth diapers. My plan of action was some oregano tincture that had been brewing for a month. It worked! Woot woot!!

My iPhone took one for the team. Bye bye spider.

I caught this moment yesterday morning, she was just entranced by what he was reading! She hung on his every word, oh please let this last! You stay little Penny pie.

We were determined to get out of the house yesterday! I met a friend and we talked while the kids played, and then the dreaded scream....of my 4 children with teeth, 3 of them have done this to their baby teeth. I need a break. And a dentist appointment. HOT MESS I tell you!!!

This was Tim at that age,before this picture there had been no gap. He was a hot mess too.

Today we are off to the pool to cool off, hopefully it won't be too hot. I hope you all have a wonderful day! 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
