I never graduated beyond cutting the leg quarters off and cutting them up. I mean, I plucked chickens all the time, but as far as the cutting goes that's as far as I went. And I have personal experience with the phrase "running around like a chicken with its head off..." I wonder if my bloggy readers could handle reminisces in detail? Things that make you go "hmmmmm...." ;)Kathleen Basihttp://www.kathleenbasi.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-69721514362322370792013-07-12T19:53:05.429-04:002013-07-12T19:53:05.429-04:00That's where ours are from!

Cheaper than them destroying something that is nice and can't be washed, at least. If I get crazy we could even do another color! It was so exciting to finally replace our garage sale furniture :)Mary @ Better Than Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409924891343767874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-14396136053071866092013-07-12T16:29:21.262-04:002013-07-12T16:29:21.262-04:00My boys have their trophies in their rooms, thrown...My boys have their trophies in their rooms, thrown on their dressers next to their derby cars! I WISH they would keep their trophies neatly displayed, but is just does not happen. We have a small house and only have one real living area and there is NO WAY, I would put them there. Just not happening. And, you house is BEAUTIFUL!! I just saw your last post and LOVE that room. So pretty. I would love to go white and i have read of other familes who have done it and said it is actually the cheapest way to go because you can bleach the slip covers AND they are not that expensive at IKEA, but with the three boys, it just makes me nervous!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571439982499787798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-405983192736730542013-07-12T13:52:57.434-04:002013-07-12T13:52:57.434-04:00didn't comment on the last post: envy is so no...didn't comment on the last post: envy is so not pretty in the comments! BUT! could the trophy go on the top shelf in the 'white room'? Some place for John Paul to see it and have something there - could move them out as you get more (just sayin you will get more!)<br /><br />blessings<br />KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116744968777228314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-5760643791817075762013-07-12T11:31:49.639-04:002013-07-12T11:31:49.639-04:00i agree with 90% of it, which is better than usual...i agree with 90% of it, which is better than usual!Mary Wilkersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895931413075965922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-51668128480675863982013-07-12T11:31:01.992-04:002013-07-12T11:31:01.992-04:00SCreen time link...awesome.SCreen time link...awesome.Mary Wilkersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895931413075965922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-8821862433742874942013-07-12T11:19:38.089-04:002013-07-12T11:19:38.089-04:00I really appreciated when the kids got medals on r...I really appreciated when the kids got medals on ribbons rather than trophies. They are so much easier to store and display! That wonderful big garage where you have the wall of all of the sports equipment could be officially called the athletic center and your crafty husband could create shelves to display the trophies like they do in the athletic wings in schools. You would see them proudly displayed every time you pull in and out of the garage but not every moment of every day. wouldn't that location be inspiring to the boys as they get out sports equipment to practice/play. Did I do a good enough sell on the location? <br /><br />Your messy house is the level I want to bring my cluttered house up to. Clean is in the eye of the beholder - Your clean standards are far above what most people achieve. I always love your home.<br /><br />Grandma & GrumpyL's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05926894595572254481noreply@blogger.com
