Got rid if the boring brown. Now it's a fun green!

We've been working on our bathroom for a long time. New tub, new sink. And now new paint. I decided to be daring and went green! It's so fun!

Do any of you know what I do when I get home each day from work?  One of the first things I do is come in and get on the computer.  I check email.  Then I check blogs.  It's one of the only ways I have to keep in touch with everyone.  I don't do Facebook much, but I do look at the blogs.  I have even got to know about YOUR friends and families by following some of your links to other blogs.  I have found some favorite recipes, got great coupons, and read about people and places I've never met and never been.  All through your blogs.  I am sometimes so excited to see a new post from my family--most often with pictures or videos!  So THANK YOU for doing this!  And for those who don't--I really miss you and the kids!  If you can post on Facebook, why not put a picture or two on your blog? Please??

Liz and I are the masters and we are challenging anyone and everyone to join us!! Last week Liz got 55 stick-on Christmas embellishments and paid $1.75. They could go on posters or clothing I guess. So today I joined the competition and got all this Christmas wrap for 79 cents. Let's see what you all can come up with for our frugal (er....cheap) competition!!

I didn't post many pictures from Tennessee.  It seems you do forget how busy a little family can be!  So here are just a couple--and if you look closely at the Christmas tree, you'll notice that all the ornaments on it were origami, made by Cedar.  Even the star on top!  And the bottom one?  The kids hadn't seen the mentos in the coke trick, so there's the geyser!

NOOOOOOO!!

Yes, that is a minus sign!
