I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

just because.

Aunt Joy gave the girls Hannah Montana posters for Christmas
I FINALLY got them up!
The girls LOVE her.
Thanks Aunt Joy!
After a nightmare of a night.
(cleaning up Ashlynn's puck from the bunkbeds and the floor.)
We decided to have the girls sleep on the floor.
Just in case.
To make it fun,
I made them a blanket tent.
They LOVED it.
We'll deffinatly have to do it again.

Alyssa wanted to sleep in there so bad...
