We've had a lot of stress about Christmas at our house lately. The only gift we intended on buying for the girls (or for ourselves) was a bunk bed and dresser set, but we just can't afford to buy what we had been hoping for. So far, we haven't come up with a good back-up plan, and we have stumbled on any helpful deals either. It's hard for me to know that my girls are not going to have anything other than a small gift from us at Christmas time because we haven't been able to figure this bedroom set out and can't afford to be out the money on other gifts.
Anyway, we decided as a family this morning that we want to give half of what we have set aside for that bedroom set that we can't afford anyway and give it to the Africa Water Project. In the mean time, we'll get prayin' about where our kids are going to sleep once this baby comes!

Craigslist, Salvation Army, Goodwill for the dressers (and maybe a bunk bed - just leave them your name and they'll keep a lookout)! A little paint sure does go a long way!!!
