My Bigger Arrived Today!

Post by granolamom6 » Wed Mar 19, 2008 3:09 pm

I am thrilled to say that all my kids will now be doing HOD! I can't wait to get my older two going on Bigger with the Extension Pack.

Look! I laid out everything on my bed after I opened the boxes....

I let you know how it is going once we get rolling.

Thank you Mike and Carrie!

Sooo happy for you!

And I LOVE your bedspread too. I dream of having a white bedspread someday. My boys are monsters. Monsters always covered in dirt. LOL

You ladies are WAY too sweet! :D

Thanks for the kind remarks about my bedspread! It is a chenille spread that is really an off-white. I bought it from K-Mart about 3 years ago. It's Martha Stewart. :wink:

Do you know, that in all the years we've been friends..., and all the times I've been to your house, I don't think I've been in your bedroom? I loved your bedspread too! Oh and I'm excited that you got your BIGGER!

Mary, my bedroom is like our storage room! :lol: In our very small, but wonderfully God-provided home, it is the room I throw everything into and then shut the door when people come over! :lol:

That said, you are more than welcome to look in my room any time you are over! :D

YEAH! How exciting! You are going to love it! :D

Melanie- It's a good jealous though. :lol: For us we get to do two new programs a year. So in a year from now I'll have them all covered and then I get to be jealous of whatever the Ancients program is. :lol:

You've got me laughing here! Just today both my boys came in totally covered with dirt. What's the quote? A boy = a noise with dirt on it. Only boys can look totally cute covered in dirt though!

Melanie - you've got me hungry now, and I'm supposed to be working on this weight thing! Can't it be something besides strawberry cake? Pretty please!

I loved the picture of all of the awesome things you got - it looks like a lot for the money, doesn't it?!? Can't wait to hear about your first week!

Ok I'll admit it I was coveting the bedspread too. :lol: Whew! That feels better now.

my3sons it is a ton of stuff for the money. It's memories of sweet years we can only have once. That's what I see. 8)

Thank you, Ladies, for joining in my excitement!

I spent a couple hours (almost) this evening going through things and getting everything ready for TOMORROW!! :shock:

You bet! We're jumping in tomorrow! Yay!

My poor Olive children who do not like change are having their world's rocked! :lol:

Pray for me as I learn how to fit three programs into my days!
