Spring Cleaning

At one room a day I think it will take me eight days to spring clean the house.
Mary and I are going to start tomorrow and I will be updating here every day with before and afters.
Wish us luck!

New Pj's

It was time for new pajamas. Mary had two inches of ankle showing, and Ruth's were pieces of this and that. Mary did not think Ruth would like these pj's, for once I was right!!


This is Ruth's crazy hair "before" picture. No worries, we make sure it is brushed before she goes to bed.
Mary has been putting her hair into pony tails lately. It is super cute, and how grown up does she look in these new pajamas?

Third Grade Update

Just got word today that Ruth's teacher is having a baby in August.
We are so excited for her but I think this means that she will not be teaching again next year.
Please pray for Ruth's teacher Ms Jennifer that everything goes well and she will be able to make it through the rest of the year.
Please also pray for a good choice in teacher to be made for Ruth's class next year.
We have been so blessed this year with her amazing teacher, I am somewhat struggling over what the future holds for my amazing daughter who is so smart and loves school.
Thanks, Amber

Barbie Cash Register

Mary saw this cash register in a Barbie magazine and fell in love.
The listed price was $49.99, too much money.
We went to Amazon.com and found one for $24.99 and she has been saving for it ever since.
It finally came today, and boy is it fun.

Back living room

Before: we used bed sheets for curtains. They have been up longer than I wanted, I got busy and didn't take the time to find replacements.
$4.99 for each panel plus 20% off made these a great deal. The color is the same as the one's in the rest of the house but the material is different which I think makes it nice.

Pictures of Mary

Not the best, but we have pictures of Mary!!
