Nine and half months...

I survived the highest of highs

& lowest of lows,

sometimes all in one day and today is my last day.

Today I will be done watching these three

boys that have become apart of our family.

Through this experience I have:

learned more patience,

relaxed about my house being messy,

become the Queen of pooh & pee,

learned how to choose when to listen

& when not too,

to really enjoy time to myself when I have it.

But mostly through this experience

I have felt my heart grow...

But I know this for sure,

three kids is a perfect number for me!

Have you ever had a dream you forgot your pants?

Easter Bunny

When Avery was around two,

I remember having to avoid the Easter Bunny

at the mall at all cost.

She was so terrified of the Easter Bunny

she would start to shake & cry just to see him.

She has since gotten over her fear.

But to be honest, I never really blamed her.

Don't you think the Easter Bunny is a little creepy looking?

Another persons trash...

Has become my treasures.

Two weeks ago while driving through neighborhoods

in Chesterfield, Missouri,

we drove past a house that caught my eye.

Well, their trash caught my eye.

I noticed an old suitcase, childrens rocking chair,

& two old window panes.

I made Spence turn around and I put them in our car.

I was shocked when I cleaned up the rocking chair

and nothing was even wrong with it.

The suitcase I decided to leave at my brother's house

until we move out there.

I couldn't wait to get home

& work on the two window panes.

I haven't done any projects for a looong time

& this one was really fun.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

I painted a tree on the back side of the glass, covered it with material,

& then just screwed in some hooks.

The whole project cost me less then 10 bucks.

And it looks so cute in my girls room.

Now I just have to finish the second one.
