It's my favorite you've ever done - I love the soft colors.<BR/><BR/>How great that the school is right there, so close you can see it from your front yard. What a huge help that you don't have to get up and get dressed and drive her.<BR/><BR/>I agree about the uniforms. I don't care for them much when kids get up into high school, but they're great for younger kids.<BR/><BR/>It's nice to hear that you're settling in. It's so hot there, I don't know how you stand it, but boy you're going to love your winters! :-)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078572615133867629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-28764680326867849582007-07-20T06:02:00.000-05:002007-07-20T06:02:00.000-05:00Oh, by the way, those storage ideas are GREAT!!! ...Oh, by the way, those storage ideas are GREAT!!!

I think the beds with the drawers under them are wonderful. My youngest daughter has a bed with them and I love all the extra room it gives her to store "stuff". I can't believe you go back to school August 13. I was complaining because mine have to go back the week before Labor Day. I think uniforms would be great too.

I just relocated from Georgia to Illinois, so can relate to all of your moving and getting settled in angst. I was glad to find there were so many GOOD things to get used to along with the unfamiliar stuff. Makes it much easier to make lemonade with the lemons of having to leave family, etc. behind.

I'm so glad things are settling down a bit. It's so hard to move and it just takes time to find your way again. <BR/><BR/>Those beds and storage units for the kids are really nice. I hope you find what you're looking for. Maybe if you had a yard sale and told the kids they could have the money from the sale of their own stuff, they'd narrow down the favorites a bit. A lot of work though, those yard sales.someone elsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524255841655400982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-49982653436070501962007-07-16T21:48:00.000-05:002007-07-16T21:48:00.000-05:00I love seeing the pictures of your town and I thin...I love seeing the pictures of your town and I thinks I could spend some time (and money) there too!
