The last few weeks have been total losers, so we were excited to find several fabulous things. I got 6 boy shirts, 2 boy jeans, and 2 Nike tennis shoes for $6.00! We also got a few toys, a brand new B&W television for M. to take apart and these fabulous ornaments!

Huge Christmas Ornaments

 

Are these the biggest ornaments you have ever seen? We couldn’t wait to show them to John. When we walked in the house we all started singing, “We wish you a Merry Christmas. . .” He loved them. We immediately took them outside to see how they’d look hanging from our bird feeder tree! How fun.

I love yard sales, and we go every week during the season. Today I also found 4 brand new coloring books that I’m going to stick in the boy’s stockings, a new backpack for N. to store his medical equipment in, and a whole brand new set of astronaut guys. Does anyone else like yard sales?  Diane

I always assumed that bad hair was only for girls but apparently not. Here’s the smallest one.

This is why girls rarely go to sleep with damp hair. The morning result isn’t pretty.

This is also what happens when you tell little guys to smile! It’s not always a pretty picture is it? Just now our nine year old can smile without looking totally strange.  Diane

Every holiday our family celebrates has a theme attached to it. Mother’s Day this year was no different. John, and the girls came up with the theme of “Cafe’ la Mere”, which means Mom’s Cafe. They decorated the room like a french coffee shop, with lights and candles. It was beautiful. I got lots of great gifts, but as usual, the best gift of all was just being their Mom!
