Thanks Secret Sister

I have been remiss! This past week with everything going on my mail began piling up. In cleaning up today I found an envelope that I assume is from my Secret Sister. I guess she knows my passion for chickens (since they are the only farm animals we are allowed to have in the city). In the envelope were some very cute wallpaper cutouts, or "Wallies." There were a couple of tractors and a bunch of chickens. Not just any chickens, but very country-looking chickens!

Since Mark now has a job again, I need to contact our loan officer and see if buying a house is still an option. We have already decided that if it is not, we will be happy to stay where we are. If we stay we will paint all the rooms and frugally redecorate.

Either way, these chickens will be going in my kitchen! If we move they will go in the new kitchen, and if we stay they will go in the one we have now (but with different paint!). Thank you, Secret Sister!

P.S. As I was laying the Wallies out to take a photo, Adam became very interested. I let him play for a minute. I loved the tractor and chicken sounds he was making! He only got to play for a couple of minutes, though, because I didn't want them ruined!

Yep, they are from me. The plastic packaging they came in kept tearing the envelope so I took them all out and put them in a new envelope. Guess in the transition, I forgot to put the card on the new envelope, sorry!
Your Secret Sister
