Long Weekends

Ben and I have enjoyed a weekend alone while the kids have been camping with my Mom and Dad, and I just miss'em so bad I can't stand it! I even woke up early thinking about how bad I just wanted to kiss their little faces and smell their dirty little heads! EARLY people, like 5am early...you know there is something wrong if mama is out of bed doing laundry before eight o'clock! But you see I have this plan! The kids will be at church this morning and Ben just left for the firehouse, so I'm cleaning up, packing my bags, going to go to church to kiss my kids until they are sick of me, and then follow them back down to camp and crash the party! I've shared their little kisses and smells all I'm willing. Nana and Papa will just have to keep me too :) Then I guess I will have to come back home Monday evening with them and be in a flurry of sewing and preparing for market....but I'll not think of that now. Nope. I'll just think about how sweet those dirty little kisses are gunna be!

I'll see you guys next week! I hope your long weekend is wonderful! Oh and be ready, there is going to be a little surprise popping up here soon....xo, Sam

I know it's always bittersweet when the kids are gone. I never liked being away from my kids when they were little, and I'm not too far away now. LOL

I hope you had a fun time!
It's strange how much we miss our kids when they are away even though we try & tell ourselves this is our freetime!
Have a great rest of your week

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
