YUP! You heard me. I bought my girls dresses at the ANTIQUE store. What's more , all three were slated to play for a recital in 1 hour. I went into the antique store - (to find an old, 4 paned window frame, by the way ) and I came out with 3 dresses and a beautiful blouse! I should have known long cotton dresses with a little battenburg lace is considered an antique!! My, but I guess I am old fashioned!!!! Anyway, I went in the store and came out with 4 outfits. The girls quickly put them on - they were a perfect fit! We drove to the recital and they played Sheep May Safely Graze perfectly on the flute, violin and piano.
Recently I gave the girl's little oak beds to my brother for his little children all the way over in Tanzania. So, for the last month or so my girls have been sleeping on the floor or on the squeaky bunk beds. I am determined not to spend too much money on new beds so it is taking me awhile to replace them. Brianna and I stopped at the Goodwill the other day and we found an nice full size bed frame. It was scuffed and a little rough, but nothing a little paint can't fix. I still need to find a good matress for it, but I am sure we will. The Lord is always good. Thus far we have spent $28 on her bed.

How wonderful that you found the perfect dresses (that fit perfectly), so the girls could wear to the recital. It was truly a God thing!
I love the new bed frame!!!
God's Blessings,

I love the bed frame, its very elegant. I have experienced God's impeccable timing as well, I needed new sandals this year and just couldn't find the right ones for under $40. Well I decided to give up and resign myself to wearing little sneakers when my Mum told me she had some that had been handed to her. The were exactly what I was looking for and fit perfectly and were in brand new shape. God has perfect timing!
Regarding your earwig problem you can make a spray (for the victim plants) of hotpeppers, dish soap, and tap water. I'm not sure of the proportions though. I'll see if I can figure it out and I'll let you know.
