Early Birds

I feel totally spoiled. My father and mother-in-law, together with the Moore family are having a garage sale at our house tomorrow morning. All the proceeds are going to The Sunflower Orphanage Foundation. So today as they were setting up, I got a sneak peek at all the things for sale. I found some really great stuff. The kids were able to use their own money to buy a couple of things for themselves. And we love the fact that the money - all of it - is going to such an amazing cause. Debra and her husband Gerry are actually going down to an orphanage in Mexico for deaf children in the next couple of weeks to do some volunteer work. Such inspiring people!

I even found an adorable skirt for Emma.

I don't know where everything is going to go yet, 

but when I find homes for my new/old things I will post some pictures.

 Little details make such a big difference - like fresh flowers in the guest bathroom 

(or really good fake ones)!

These ones are real hydrangeas from our garden, but I will be on the look out for some artificial ones for when the weather turns cold and they are not in bloom.

This boy...

This boy drives me crazy,

this boy listens to nothing I say,

this boy goes outside every second I am not watching him, 

this boy tells me no,

this boy is dirty all the time,

this boy yells and screams,

this boy teases his little sister,

 this boy thinks he always knows better, 

this boy gives me kisses every morning, 

this boy gives me hugs every night,

this boy tells me he loves me,

this boy fills me with joy.

Thank goodness for bedtime.
