Help!

I need help finding a tray or trays to organize this messy drawer thats in my kitchen. I've looked at Walmart, Target, the dollar store but all they have are expensive ones. I need something cheap! I've looked online at different sites but I don't want to use a credit card. I don't understand why its so hard to find something so simple! Help!

Samantha's Preschool

This week it was my turn to teach preschool. We have preschool on Mondays and Wednesdays for 3 hours each, it seems like a long time but when you plan lots of activities it goes by fast. They learned about the letter "P" and my theme was about painting and pigs. I decided it would be fun to have the girls put on a play for their mothers of The 3 Little Pigs. So I incorporated painting and pigs by having the girls paint the houses on cardboard boxes. They also made their own snouts, ears and tails. They did other types of painting like finger painting and water coloring.

These girls are the most dramatic and emotional 4 yr olds I've ever dealt with! One minute they love each other then the next minute their fighting like they hate each other! Its so frustrating! When we were practicing the play outside, one by one they started arguing and crying saying they didn't want to do the play anymore. Ahhh! But after we all calmed down, we tried again but this time inside the house and everything was fine. It was a really warm day so maybe that was the problem, I don't know. When the mothers came, we did the play and it turned out really cute!
I have a video of the play, but its too long to post because the camera was set up recording after the play was over. Is there anyone who knows how to make videos shorter?

New addition to our home/Valentines Day

I know its been awhile since I blogged but life just keeps me so busy that its so hard for me to find the time. Or there were times where I just didn't feel in the mood. I'm probably just making excuses. I want to blog more, really I do, so its my goal to find time everyday or almost everyday to blog about my kids, husband or anything else that happens in our lives.

Just this past Saturday we made a big purchase, which is something we hardly ever do! But we just couldn't pass up this great deal. We've been wanting to get a big screen tv for the longest time but never could afford over a thousand dollars to buy one. Jake found out last week from a friend at work that Costco had a 42" tv on sale for 700 dollars! So we went to check it out, when we got there we said we have to get this or we will never get one. When we talked to the sales clerk we found out that there was a coupon for 100 dollars off on this tv! So we ended up paying just a little over 600 dollars for a Vizio 42" tv! We just love it! Although it sticks out on the sides a little but thats ok, maybe next year we can buy a new entertainment center to fit it in.

Before...

After!

These are the roses Jake got me for Valentines Day, aren't they beautiful! We got a babysitter from our ward to watch the girls and then we went to a Valentines party that was hosted by someone in our ward. There was lots of good food, cute decorations and lots of fun people to visit with. After about a hour we left and went to see a movie. We had no plan as to what movie we were going to watch, we just hoped there was a good one available starting soon. We agreed to seeing "Push" with Dakota Fanning, it wasn't too bad. Then we headed back home. It was really nice to go out with my honey which we don't get to do very often.
