New Bunk Beds and Comforters, Sort Of

Two Christmases ago, my Boss got the girls a bedspread set for their queen size bed.  Since then, this past weekend actually, we got the girls new bunk beds and a trundle for Maddie (it's not pictured, it's on backorder and will be delivered later).  I took the queen sized comforter and made twin sized bedspreads out of them.  It looks great!!  Here's what I did.


Here is the comforter all laid out.


I cut down the center making two twin sized bedspreads...


I then sewed the seam together.

Bella is very comfy now.

Dear Bella,

At three years of age, you are fascinated with fury creatures.  You enjoy "reading" books about all kinds of animals, you are always telling me that you want to go to the zoo. Curious George is your favorite cartoon.  You have  some how picked up some of his bad habits when I caught you crossing your arms and giving a pouty face like him....we'll have to watch out for that cartoon!!

Dogs in particular are your favorite. You like to crawl around the house on all fours, barking and licking.  You tell me, "Momma say, doggie don't bark," or to give you some such command.  You have an English Setter stuffed animal that you like to sleep with.  You tie belts and ribbons around his neck and make your own collars for him.  This morning,  you were sitting at the breakfast counter and I noticed that with the help of your hand, you had your your leg up at your face with your foot and toe rubbing your cheek.  I asked you what you were doing and you told me, " Momma, this is how doggies scratch..."

My crazy, wonderful, little Bella! You bring smiles to this momma's face. I love you!

Love,
Mom

The Bell Rings


The halls echo with voices.  Excited, nervous; anticipating what will come.  The smell of new carpet fills the air.  "Welcome Students" written on chalkboards greets the children as they enter the classroom.  See her cheery smile, she directs tiny feet to short desks decorated with their name.  The doors are open once again for another year.  Life is again abundant in this small corner the world.  
The bell rings.  
Class begins.

The Lord's School...we'll keep going as long as He lets us. Thank you Lord-for letting my child have a place to learn about You.
