Please excuse the cell phone pics… as you can imagine it only looked this pristine for a short while and I didn’t snag any better pictures with my big dslr. We finished! We used this plan from Ana White, only slightly modified to remove a step and add a ladder rung so it would fit …

And a Merry Christmas to all.
We did it! And they loved it. More pictures later. The holidays continue for us with another celebration this weekend… and then I need to start thinking about Tuesday’s fifth birthday! Hope this time of year finds you with family and friends! Much love from the Garrison’s!
Can we pull this off?
Blogging from the phone as things really get down to crunch time. Attempting to surprise Bennie and Tuesday with a new room tomorrow. Hoping to have it done in the afternoon before we leave for a family dinner… The dresser is painted. I found one handle I was missing since this photo, the other one …
Christmas crafty
Oh dear, my last post was a bit of downer… and I put my blog address on our holiday cards this year so I really must update! We still have been sorely lacking in the sleep department. But our super secret room re-do for the girls (from a Tuesday only bed on the floor room …
1:51 AM, as good a time as any
I found this photo of Bennie on my phone. She took it of herself while Bj was holding her. I was reading Big Susan to Tuesday. Bennet has a been up for hours. Luckily this the first time in a week that Bj has been able to help in the middle of the night. He’s …
This and that – happy things

So I bought those flushable wipes. People they are not flushable. We had a water in the basement situation as a result. Ugh. …
Halloween
Oh these silly girls. And silly mama; I just can’t help myself sometimes. Halloween is one of those times! I decided at the last minute (10 o’clock the night before) that Bennet needed a coat to complete her gnome costume (and make it a bit different from my god daughter’s, since I was recycling most …
Fall at the Oregon Coast
My dad lives in the desert in the winter, and before he left this year he decided he wanted to go to the coast. Lucky for the girls and I he decided we should come on his impromptu day trip… OK! First we went to a fantastic restaurant, on the “banks” of the world’s shortest …
Wait, was that an electric car?
So this weekend I got an electric car. But that’s not what this story is about. This evening as I was all set to do my last big batch of canning (really, truly, I mean it this time!) Bj was being helpful and took a basket of rags down to the basement to put with …
