We met up with a few family members at the Scottish Festival on Saturday. It was fun to see everyone and get a feel for what it is like. We are already looking forward to next years event!

A Day in the Life–Dinner with the Cousins
Fun to have the little ones over for a visit! Clarisse is missing because she is on a motorcycle ride with Minsan for CMA. I am glad that a simple meal of macaroni and cheese, burger and beans makes them all smile!

Living Room Redesigns
I had a wonderful lady at our church do a Redesign of our space. She did that instead of a Decorating because I didn’t want to spend any additional money past her time expense (which is SUPER affordable!). She is amazing! I had never quite known what to do to finish up my space with the little bit of decoration I have. I just was to the point where I didn’t want to spend more money on decorations if I wasn’t sure what it would end up like. She took what I had and made a great collection of things to warm up my space and make it fab. On top of it she extended my curtains and opened it up so that my window looks as big as it is . The room looks so bright! AWESOME! Oh, I still have to replace the pics in some of the frames, but that should be doable since I have plenty to choose from in my repertoire.
Here is the before of our upstairs:

So, lots of thoughts and what not, but totally happy. I love seeing what someone would do with our restrictions, such as having a drum set or keyboard in the space, etc. We have a ton of ideas now to keep things going forward with things that we need to still do, but at our own pace. I like that the space will be fine now while we head that direction though. No hurries!
What a blessing for me to have order and a welcoming place. YAY, best day ever!

A Day in the Life
Noah came over and hung out with Will as a peace offering for a misunderstanding they had. It turned out to be a great time for Will to have quality time with an older kid. He was pretty happy. Hopefully Noah had a good time too !

The quiet before the storm of play. Pretend sleeping in the hotel before we dashed off to the waterpark.

Christmas Time Tradition–Making a Gingerbread House
I love that we have been doing this traditionally for a whole year and here we are on to our second one. Gotta start somewhere. The kids love it. I have been using a kit that we can buy at Sam’s Club. It appears to be one of the rare ones that isn’t made in a facility that processes nuts. Win! The kids had fun this year as usual!

Raising Money for Missions
The Sauers kids would like to share some of their skills with the rest of the world in exchange for a donation to Missions 299. Between all of them they are hoping to raise $100.
To help, please click the donate button to Paypal and you will be able to make a donation to BGMC mission for of any amount you desire (we will be sure to get the money to the missions fund from there) and in turn we will provide you with a link to a website, with the username and pw.
On the site, you will find videos, photos, and music created by the kids. Feel free to download the content, but please do not share the login information with others, as only those that have donated are given the password after the money has been received. If you are not familiar with Paypal, you are welcome to use a cash or check donation.
Not only do you get to see what is out there this time, but as an ongoing treat the children will continue to share music, photos and videos that are created along the way. We will announce it on Facebook or via email if you aren't on Facebook when you should go and check out more of their work.
In addition to doing the site, Clarisse is selling some pillows she sewed. They are for sale at $2.00 a peice, so if you are interested, please let me know.
For more information about why the kids are raising money for missions, please head out to this site: missions299 .
Thanks everyone!
