 Lily checking herself out in the mirror before church



 Ella was pretty excited to switch out her earrings for the first time!

 43 more Sundays of breaking up fights between these crazy kids :)
 Upgraded my coupon holder to a bigger one!
 On the show extreme couponing they always show the persons HUGE stock pile..well i'm not that extreme, lol! Here is some of our mini stockpile. And I took this picture awhile ago so it doesn't include one of my best coupon deals! I got 12 bags of trail mix that they paid me a penny each to take! (the boxes on the right are MREs, good food storage) I was laughing with Joe that to most people this is just what their pantry looks like all the time, but in the past we never had more then just what we needed at the time :)

 I found this picture on one of the fort hood facebook pages, Ella finishing the 5k

 The girls had a friend over yesterday and I guess things got a little crazy! (I was outside spray paining, lol!) the door got slammed open and now there is a hole the shape of the door knob, nice
 I got a call from my friend this morning saying her husband was helping a soldier clear out their house. She had a lot of stuff she didn't want and they were just going to take it to goodwill so he asked if we wanted some of the kid furniture. He had a truck load when he came and the kid stuff was at the bottom so I told him he could just leave what he was taking to goodwill and I would give it away. It had this awesome Ikea toy storage unit. Jacks toy storage was about to collapse so this was perfect! Eventually we will replace the one pink bin :)
 There were also 3 kitchen chairs, which is awesome since we were down to 4! There was a table too, but mine is bigger. I am pretty excited to sand it down and use it for a test table to stain. I've been wanting to stain my ugly table and chairs but we've never done it before, so now we will be able to try it out first.
 This set of living room tables. I kept the two end tables to use as night stands and gave the coffee table away
 The kids were happy with some new movies! And a ton of craft supplies. It kept the kids busy all morning so I was able to rearrange and clean jacks room
 Ella liked these light up glasses
 She wanted to keep it for a desk
 I want to get diamond plate or something that looks like it for the white/checkered section of jacks dresser but I haven't gotten that far yet. We are going to hang the checkered flags on his wall, I just put them in to see how they look
