Today i stopped into Wal-Mart. My main mission was to get wipes with my coupons that made them $.64 but also to pick up some straws which Anabel is going to need for her schooling in a week or so. They didn’t have the right straws (so i ordered them on Amazon)

But while shopping i saw clearance clothes down to $1. Those it when i find those!

For $20 i got: 10 wipes, 4 summer girl outfits, 3 girl shirts, 1 summer boys outfit and something i wanted for our woman’s retreat project.

Then i stopped at a garage sale across the street from my house.

For $4 i got: 2 girl dresses, 1 girl skirt, 1 states puzzle and 16 books.

14 of which where A Beka Easy Readers. Anabel is suppose to be able to read ‘easy readers’ by mid or end of the kindergarten.

The other books where one about birds and one about bugs.

Love spending money smartly!

Such a relief!!! Only thing i done had done are the holiday magnets because Bobby didn’t cut me enough tiles but that is no biggie. Now it’s done and 100% usable.

I’m known to have vivid elaborate dream. Most of the time they are rather dark and scary and leave me with a terrible feeling. I have died in dreams, been shot in several of them. Shot in the head and had this gushing, warm feeling as the blood ran down the back of my head and neck and saw everything blew and start to turn black. The thoughts of what lies ahead and how i’m about to find out any second as i die. Usually if death is in my dreams so is thoughts of being with God in the after life. I remember this dreams and how it felt as if i had it last night.

Some of my best dreams have been about the Lords return. When i was a teen i dreamt of Jesus coming down and me running outside my house, worried that he would leave me. Asking him to please take me and him saying back to me ‘You have a choice’ and i knew this meant i could repent and choose to go with him or turn my back on him. I remember running towards him and yelling ‘I want to go with you!’.

Then this last year i’ve had one of the rapture starting to take place. The nights sky being filled with waves of beautiful colors…. colors that then turned to fire. I was sitting, watching in awe and excitement, holding the hand of my husband, waiting for when it would be time to go up to heaven. I woke up before that happened though.

Then last night i’ve had one of the best dreams to this day:

I was walking in a hospital, in a hall lined with floor to ceiling windows. I stopped and turned to look out the window just as a loud bang sounded. Suddenly huge mounds of hail filled the street that lay outside the window, i mean like 2-3 feet of hail, huge balls of it.

Within a split second all the hail turned into a massive flock of beautiful white doves.

And within a second more the doves took off leaving a dense layer of flying white feathers whirling about.

I focused my eyes and peered into the fog like feathers to see a figure walking through them. I knew who it was! I couldn’t make him out well but i said aloud ‘Take me with you!’

Jesus reached out his hands and all of a sudden i started flying towards him as though being sucked through the window at a very fast speed. I came towards him and then was being propelled up into the sky.

Just then it started to rain and i was traveling against the rain at an incredibly fast speed.

I remember just saying Jesus' name over and over and thanking him and praising him. I was so excited and my heart was beating a million miles and hour. I remember thinking ‘This is it!’ With such excitement and joy.

Then…. for a split second i wondered if i was dreaming or was i really going to see heaven?

Then i woke up.

But when i woke up my WHOLE body was on pins and needles… like every inch of you had fallen asleep. It was the weirdest feeling.

It makes me want to cry thinking about the dream. Oh how i want to go to heaven and be with Jesus and all my loved ones!

Not sure why i have dreams like these. Usually my dreams come from things i’ve watched recently or thought about…. but honestly i haven’t thought about the rapture lately. Oh well. I will remember this one forever :)

Me and Matthew went out to the garden while the girls and Daddy napped.
It rained this morning... always love days I don't have to water the garden!

Now we have enough cucumbers to make some more pickles and enough zucchini for zucchini bread muffins.... maybe I will make just a loaf instead of muffins? I do hate washing the muffin tins and filling those annoying little cups but muffins are way more convenient especially to thaw when frozen.... hmmmm

So today i finished up the kits by doing a tad bit of sewing on the doctors shirt and printing off her ID badge.

I sewed the color back because Dad said that is how doctors shirts are and then i sewed the organizer on there. I admit i was expecting the shirt to be made out of the regular button down short material but the shirt actually it more like a t-shirt type material, so the organizer stands out more then i thought it would. Uber picky Bob said he thought it looked fine so I'm relieved. Bob wasn’t so hip on the homemade kit idea because he thought the doctors shirt would look stupid so with him actually approving this, it make me happy. Now I'm the one not so hip on the organizer since it stands out as a different white. But after all it is just play right?

I threw a sweater on Abby and took a quick picture of her for her ID picture. Yes she is wearing a princess outfit under the sweater hehe. Look how long her hair is? She is just to cute!

 

So here is the kit:

    

It will end up being a 28 piece once the reflex hammer and the nurses watch for the doctor shirt. But looks like she will have to wait on those things.

So this morning i made a run over to the Salvation Army in hopes of finding some sort of bag or container that would work for a doctors bag for Abby’s doctors kit. It was so nice because i got to go all by myself, no kiddos in toe. Haaaaa

I got really stressed out because i could find a bag that would work and i was trying to brain storm about how i could take one of the bags with a good basic shape and then recover it. I knew i didn’t want to try and make a bag from scratch because me and sewing bags don’t have a very good history together.

Then when i gave up i saw out of the corner of my eye, a black lunch box for $4.50.

I thought it was the perfect thing! I got so excited and soooo relieved! I didn’t know what i was going to do if i didn’t find something.

While i was at the Salvation Army i looked through the scrubs section. All red tags were 50% off today and i found a scrub with a red tag! Ended up costing $1.25 for it.

So i bought it and after getting home i went to work on it to make it smaller.

So it here is it originally:

Then cut down:

And finally sewn:

It actually was really easy and fast to do. So far this project has been easy.

Anabel trying it on for me:

So now i have a soon to be doctors outfit and a nurses outfit :)

Also i took our ACE bandages and cuts them and added some more velcro so she actually has 4 bandages.

I got the syringes put through the dishwasher. Also found and empty pill bottle.

 

Can’t wait for the stuff i ordered to come in the mail tomorrow so i can get to work on them and finish this sucker!

I haven’t figured a permanent home for these yet but it will be something like this. I will have the magnets sorted in jars for easy finding and putting them up. I’m hoping to do something to get the ticket rolls hung on the wall but i’m not sure. The girls were so excited today to get a few tickets from things they have done the last few days. The tickets were here yet then so i told them as soon as they come that they would be able to put their earned tickets into their jars.

Also one of the caddy’s came today (Anabel’s). Abby’s should come tomorrow i think. This is just a few of the things i have for each caddy. I need to get a couple more items.

Today i was able to whip these suckers out. It was easy and went quick. I tested them on Anabel and they fit her, so hopefully they will fit Abby just as well. I made two so both girls could play if they wanted. Maybe one a doctor and the other the nurse :)

THEN yesterday i had this idea about x-rays. I looked online to see if they sold any but they didn’t. I mentioned to Bob my idea and how i was bummed they didn’t have any and that i was thinking of just printing some on regular paper since it was play.

Then he said '”I have a ton of that kind of paper at school, you get me the pictures and i could print a few off'”

And i was like ”OMGosh!!! And we could use them on the light table i made!!!!”

So i found some and he brought them home this morning:

 

I’m so excited about these LOL

Pretty cool ha?
