Thanks, Jennifer!

 What in the world?!  It is a Christmas layout in March!  What can I say?  I am so behind.  I had the lofty goals of doing a page a day book in December. Then we got the yuck bug, and the whole thing was shelved.  The book was already done, but the pictures needed to be added.  Bring in Jennifer...she is doing a scrap simple challenge.  Jennifer, I may actually get this book done one Friday at a time!  Thanks for all you do!  Hope your challenge is a big success!  

Happy Spring

Please Pray for this Family

I was reading a friend's blog tonight, and she posted a link to this family and asked that we pray for them.  Thanks for praying.  

The Brady Effect

Our kids love to watch The Brady Bunch.   The other day we were watching the episode with the pay phone.  Henry goes, "Mom, can we get a phone with a string?" 

Then last week we were watching it and Cindy Brady had bows in her hair tied from super thick yarn.  I said to Kathryn, "See that yarn in Cindy's hair?  When Mommy was little, Grandma Coil tied that in my hair." 

She didn't even pause and said, "And then they invented ribbon."  Nice.

New Room

We waited until Friday night to show the boys their new room.  We knew they would be excited, and it was nice to let them just have fun without worrying about school the next day.  It was so fun to hear their excitement and watch their faces.  They had seen their new beadspreads and knew they were getting bunk beds, but that was it.  

They played in their room all weekend.  Jack gets the "upbed" as Henry calls it.

I still have a few things to put on the wall, but they are enjoying sleeping in their new room.  It isn't very photo worthy, but the thing I love most about putting the boys in this room is they each have their own closet now.  All of their clothes are in their room.  We haven't had that since Henry was born.  I've been going through all of the kids' clothes and trying to really get rid of as much as possible.  It seems they basically live in the same ten outfits.  Bridget will get a new room next.  It is so strange to think that we will be putting the crib Jerry made in storage soon.  We've had it up for eight years!
