Blessings,
Today is my birthday!
Happy Birthday to ME! lol
The kids gave me their gift last night since today is going to be a busy one. They gave me Wow Worship and Wow Hits 2008. Now I'll have something to listen to while in the car all day.LOL These are my favorites and I sure am excited about hearing them today! Thanks kids!
Today is sooo busy. I don't like having more than one thing outside the home each day!lol We found an engineering class for Jon and it starts at 10am and ends at 12. Then, Evie has gymnastics at 5 and Allison has bible study at 6. We have to eat dinner at 4, so I'll be starting it around 2. Pretty much fills out my day.lol I just found out that there is going to be starting up a theater class in February but I need to decide if it's something that I can commit to. I know that Allison would love it but I'm already overwhelmed with activities. Luckily, I have a week or two to decide.
I guess that all the news for now. We lead such exciting lives.LOL

Decorating Through the Year 2008
So, I've been pretty silent about this challenge but I've still been hard at work.lol We ended up not painting this go around, it's just been too wet or cold to do so. Maybe next time we hit this bathroom or maybe when I paint the kitchen, I'll hit this room also. We'll see.
Here's the before photo...
Here's the after...
Here's the price breakdown so you can see that I really did stay in budget.
Shower Curtain $10 at Target
Shower Hooks $1.19 at Target
One large Bathtowel on Clearance at Target $4.18
One Handtowel at Target $2.49
One washcloth at Target $1.99
One very cute Froggy handsoap pump at where else? Target...$10.49
Total: $30.34
I like how it's turned out so far! I just need to paint at some point, but that can wait until my knee and hip have recovered.LOL
How is everyone else's challenge going?
My next room will be the kitchen. I will be painting in there and decluttering/organizing. It's a true mess but I've decided to no longer mess around with an easy room.LOL May as well jump in with both feet. Wish me luck!

My Daily Ramblings...
Well, I'm not sure that I can call this good but we made it through.LOL Last weekend I fell and hurt my knees. I hit one of our gates at full speed thinking it was open but found that it had locked on the bottom causing me to break it in half and land on top of it. I'm still limping but feeling better. I think once I go to my next dr's appt for an adjustment I'll feel better.
Jon took a vacation last weekend and went with his grandma to Ohio. He had a GREAT time! He got to play in the snow and visit with his great grandparents. What a blessing for him to spend this time with them!
Meanwhile, the littles all have the crud. Nothing serious, just runny noses, coughs, and the like. Makes me not have much time for blogging and other things since everyone feels that I should be holding them.LOL
On Thursday, Jon broke his arm. (Yes, I'm just trying to insert this nonchalantly in the middle of this post.) Not a little bone either. He was doing some sort of fancy move on his roller skates and broke the right arm bone between the elbow and shoulder. He has a temp cast until sometime this next week when we can get him an appt for that. He's fine though. That boy has the highest pain tolerance I've ever seen. In fact he was sure it was just sprained.LOL I'm glad we decided to get it checked out anyway.
Sophia keeps standing up in the middle of the room. We think she'll be walking any day now. What a blessing this little baby is! She's so sweet and keeps us laughing at all her antics.
Allison is fine.LOL At least SHE'S healthy and doing well. Of course, she's off skating right now, so I'll just say a silent prayer that she stays that way.LOL
I've been trimming our food budget. Not sure if I can, I mean, we keep GROWING and that makes food costs increase but since that's the income that we can most control, I'm doing my best, with God's help, to lower it as much as possible. I've spent $114 so far this week and hope to only add $50 more for the whole week. Our usual budget is $250.
Well, I guess that's it.LOL Rough week but we're hanging in there. I even managed to keep up with photos.lol
