The Big Day!

Today was our ultrasound! We found out that we are having a girl! We are excited, yet still wondering what we will do with a girl. I felt the same way with Owen. :) I figured it out. :) I'm looking forward to buying some pink and purple things.

Wonderful Fall Day

Today we had fun playing outside. The weather could not have been better. Owen joined in on the fun with the neighbors and played in the leaves. I remember having so much fun doing that as a kid. It was fun until one year I discovered that there were bugs in the leaves, that was the end of my leafy fun.

Sliding into a pile of leaves for the first time.

Score! I give it a 10!

He loved the leaves falling on his head.

Baby D has no idea what's about to hit him.

I've learned to say "Cheese" for pictures.

I thought I should include this. It's a tile with vinyl lettering.
I made it at the last Enrichment Day.
I've had so many friends make similar projects that
I just had to make one to. It was very simple.

My Painted Kitchen

So when we moved into this house in June the kitchen was a deep dark red, almost maroon. Nice, but not my style. I prefer lighter colors. So here we are in November and finally have painted the kitchen. We chose green and I really like it. Here are the before and after shots.

I couldn't find the picture I took so this is the one from the listing.

Here it is after the missionaries came over and helped me prime the walls. Notice the stains on the floor. I've tried everything I can think of and they will not come up. I think I will just have to buy bigger mats to cover them.

Here it is freshly painted. I still have touch ups and some decorating to do. I really like the green it will look great with the color we have chosen for the living and dinning room. That will happen sometime next year. :)

Take a Guess

Next Tuesday is the big day. We are having our ultrasound! I'm so excited to find out the gender of the little person growing inside of me. So we would like to hear your guesses.
Boy? or Girl?
The odds are good that you will guess right.

Shopping Success!

So I have been trying to tighten up our food budget by better menu planning and the use of coupons. I've been seeing the savings grow each week and I'm telling you it is worth the investment of time and planning. Today I went to Publix and bought $66.15 of food, after BOGO and coupons some doubled some not, I saved 32.28 leaving me with a bill of 33.87. I know there are others who have done much better than that but I still feel good about my savings :) I wish Walmart would double coupons. Anyone know of a store that will triple coupons?
