Lots of things

What a crazy life. We had a garage sale last weekend and did very well. I was so excited to see things go and actually make some profit. We wanted to buy the girls bunk beds with the money and we were able to do that and more. I found some bunk beds that I fell in love with on Craigslist. I love that site.

On a different note do any of you know anything about getting your own health insurance. Mechanics health insurance premiums are extremely high and the coverage isn't very great. We just found out that our insurance is going up another 100.00 a month starting end of this month. It went up 70.00 a month 6 months ago. This is just ridiculous. We will now be paying 750.00 a month for our family of 4. I really don't know a lot about trying to get on our own but if anyone does please let me know.

This Sunday we decided to take the girls into the cities and do something fun since we had been doing a garage sale all week.

Here is Emily on the carousel. She loved it. She cried for 10 min. when she had to get off. Then there is Abby who cried because she was afraid to go on them.


a sneak peak at our new bunk beds--- I love them
You can have them be single beds too so that is what the girls will have someday when they are older. I will update soon with the finished look-- bedding and mattresses!

Me and Emily riding the carousel






Joel and Abby



sitting on a turtle. The girls were pretty amazed at the real tortoises.





Abby found a friend.











Emily was riding her blue car up the sidewalk and hit the curb at the wrong spot and hit face first on the pavement. She had a fat lip and her nose is pretty beat up. I am supposed to get their pictures done this week so that should look great!

You'll have to call to get quotes. I'd look closely at what each plan covers before making a decision.

Good luck!
