Today...

I was going to write a long post today about what's going on here right now, but I can't. The words aren't there yet.

So I'm going to tell you this:

I miss you all desperately! And I miss being here. Baby Caffee is still hanging in there, I'm trying to cook this little one for 5 more weeks (that will get me to 37 weeks). I'm doing bedrest the best I can with these precious littles underfoot and God is pouring out lots of grace!!

My little Lyric will be with us a while longer, we have custody of her until May. She is so sweet and learning and growing fast! She is my first baby to sit up in the first week of her 5th month. Little stinker! She fits in perfectly with these little girls, Penny and Claire adore her and I can tell already these three are going to be a hot mess in a few more months! Claire has taken to the roll of "big sis" perfectly and can boss the life out of them! Ha! My big kids are so much help, I couldn't do it without them.

Homeschool is going really good right now. I've actually added a daily assignment sheet/checklist to our routine (and to my regular homeschool planner workbook) and it is working great for my older kids. It keeps them on task and helps me a lot too. If any of you are interested in seeing that let me know. (My homeschool planner is a free download HERE).

I haven't done anything creative in ages but I plan to start something small this week. We will see about that! I've been looking around on Ravelry for something and I have some nice yarn to use, and plenty of littles to knit for...

God is working on me and stretching me out of my box in ways I never expected. It's messy at times, but at times it's absolutely beautiful! I wouldn't survive without His grace! I'll be back soon! 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
