$138.05

That's how much I sold at my yard sale today. It's a wonderful thing to get rid of things you don't need in exchange for money. $103.75 of that is my money. :) I'm hoping tomorrow will go even better. It was pretty slow today for a Friday. I think everyone was apprehensive about the weather. I am planning on a bright sunshiny day tomorrow...so it better deliver! ;-)

A Facelift for my Blog...

I hope you all enjoy the new things I have done to my blog. It's all very aesthetically pleasing now! I also have tickers for my kid's birthdays and our trips and anniversary, and even for how long I've been breastfeeding! (Some of you may not care, but it's a big accomplishment for me since only something like 7% of women get this far anymore!)

Tomorrow and Saturday is my BIG ANNUAL YARD SALE! I am super excited. I have to call around and double check with people about bringing things. It may be smaller this year than it has been, but it's always fun for me to do. Don't ask why, I can't explain it. I am a yard sale junkie! I hope to sell all my stuff so I have money to spend at yard sales. Haha!

We got pictures taken for Mother's Day to give to all the Moms and Grandmas. :) Here they are:

Dedicated to my kids...

Today is Mother's Day. I got a book from Deric and the girls.

Something cute River said the other day:

I gave her some of my homemade applesauce and she asked for more saying, "Mommy, can I have some more apple sugar?" :)

We went into her bedroom the other night and Moss had murdered a robin in there. It was a major mess...blood and feathers EVERYWHERE. The bad thing was I didn't notice until we were both fully in the room. Then I told River to come with me quickly, she was freaking out a little. Poor thing. We evacuated and went up the stairs. Deric, hearing all the commotion asked us, "Is it really that bad?" River said as concerned as can be, "Yes Daddy, it's really that bad!" It took us half an hour to clean everything up. Yuck.

Molly is adoring "running around" on the couch. She climbs all over it and goes head-first off the side onto the pillows on the floor. (that we put there for safety purposes) She could just do that for hours! It's too cute!

I had an impression the other day that Molly might just have a special purpose in this life. Like a mission. I don't know what exactly, but I just distinctly felt that when I looked at her the other day being so sweet and loving. She is a true sweetheart.

I love my kids, they are the greatest joy I could have ever been given. I hope to always love them as deeply as I do now, and deeper. I bore my testimony today that though Mothers tend to be down on themselves and never feel like they are doing enough they shouldn't worry. Because I know one thing is for sure, Christ loves us, and he would never be so cruel as to expect us to be perfect. I know that. If that's all I ever know, it is enough.

Happy Mother's Day all!
