The Fort

My cousins, Billy and Josh, were out at the land helping Scot with the shed. Somehow the kids talked them into helping them do some building in their forts.

They built these cool look outs.

They are still having so much fun planning ways to make their forts even better! They are looking forward to another Saturday when their cousins can come back out and help them put some more cool ideas into reality!

Taking Shape

The shed/garage is really starting to take shape! It is very exciting to see the trusses go up!

Scot and some friends and family have been working out at the land last night and today. We are so greatful for their help!

Hopefully, the weather will hold out and they will be able to get a lot more trusses put up!

Cowboy Bathroom

I am having so much fun buying things on the cheap and storing them away for the new house!

Take a look at what I found at our local kids consignment sale.

Isn't this great fabric? The kids want to do a cowboy bathroom at the new house, so when I found this custom made curtains for $5 I had to have it.

You can read more about what I have found for this bathroom over at our home blog.

Joy of Homeschooling

The beauty of homeschooling is that we are not confined to the classroom. Who says we cannot do school at the patio table in the back yard?



Yes, that is a dirty face..she was digging in the dirt during one of her breaks!

Ideas

Over at our home blog, I have posted some pictures of what our new house will look like..well, what I am hoping it looks similar too. Check it out and leave me a comment telling me what you think!!!

Bargains!

I wanted to show you a couple of the many things that I got at our local kids consignment sale this past week. I was excited about some of the awesome deals I got this year! Here are just a couple of them.


I LOVE this dress for M. It is from Gy*b*ree. It was only $3.00! The picture does not do it justice...trust me.

I got these dress shirts for B..they were $2.00 each. I was so excited because he really needed some new button downs for church. He wore the blue one yesterday and looked so handsome! I think I will save the green one for Easter.

$5.00 skates for S.

E got these cute flip flops for $1.50 - never been worn! I saw them last summer at Ta*g*t for $12.99!!!

Maybe I will do a fashion show one day so you can see all the other cute little summer outfits that I got because I really did get a lot of great things for next to nothing!

Snow in the Deep South

Living in the deep south, we do not get experience snow. However, this morning a few flurries fell and the kids were SOOOO excited.

It melted as soon as it hit the ground, but they had fun watching the little flurries fall.

They tried to catch them with their tongue.

Maybe one day soon, we will get to see and play in several inches of snow. But for these southern born and raised children, these few flurries were good enough..at least for now.
