Five Things Friday

Five Things Friday on this Family Fun Friday:

1.  Kaki and Georgie came for a visit! We enjoyed the zoo, the strawberry farm, and THEM!



2. I recently painted our bedroom. It's grey and I love it! I don't have pictures yet, but they are soon to come.
3. Thanks to my dear friends Courtney and Corey, I steamed our carpets! FYI: Corey played football for UT. GO VOLS!!! (sorry, Kaki) The Campbells let me borrow their steam vacuum and it was amazing. I am thinking about getting one. We have an enormous amount of carpet (grrr...) and cleaning it costs a small fortune.
How do you like my tiny little vacuum? 
 Check out how dirty we are!

Yes, that is the dirty water just from Aevyn's room. Seriously?? That being said,  I feel like a new woman now!

4. Tyler and I use Dave Ramsey's envelope system for budgeting.  I really don't like carrying around all that cash. Every time I go to buy something I have to pull out my BULGING wallet. I'm sure that people are thinking, "What is the easiest way that I could rob her?"  Anywho, I had been using this  coupon file that I got at the dollar section of Target: 


MUCH too big for my purse, and SO totally unfashionable;) So I decided to make my own:


After sewing what looked like a small pillow, I folded the fabric in thirds. Then I made seams up the sides of the bottom fold. Next, I cut out the accordion part of the coupon file, and I put it down into the wallet. Lastly, I topped it off  with some easy-to-make, cute, little felt flowers and Tada!
 Much better!
Look at that sweet little family;)


5. Well, I can't think of a fifth "thing." I asked Tyler to contribute, and he said that he can't think of anything. He told me that that is why he quit blogging and started micro-blogging (ie. twittering). What a dork.

Happy Family Fun Friday!!!
