Spring Blooms

I have spring fever super bad.  The older I get and the more children I have, the more I LOVE spring and summer.  Gone with the coats and snotty noses, and out with the flip flops and dripping popsicles.  I can't really complain, we have had such a mild winter; I mean my yard is still green with lots of weeds.  Amazing the weeds can still grow in the scorching temps and freezing temps...they are just relentless.
The last several years I have done most of the kids' clothes shopping at Rhea Lana's consignment, but this last one for the winter just did me in.  I really hate to shop anymore.  It just isn't fun anymore, I mean I have to spend my own money and the clothes just either get stained or worn a few times because the kiddos grow three inches over night.  So, my solution for this season has been eBay and online clearance sales.  AWESOME!!  I have tried this before and just wasn't as successful at finding all of the deals.  It has taken me some time, but I am figuring it out.  By the way, shoes for kids are the not the best deals on eBay.  Just finished up Olivia's spring clothes and Leia's last week.  Now the boys have been a bit harder to find those deals.
All that said I have saved a bundle.  I mean we are averaging $1.5 per item that I have purchased and over 50% of them still have the tags.  Mom and I are going to complete the girls' little wardrobe with some cutsy boutique style outfits that we already have all the supplies for.  I can't wait to start and finish our little "Spring Blooms" ideas and see some spring blooms in my yard.
Let's see what blooms are in store in the near future.......
Now....I would prefer to see the blooms somewhere else, you know a SOLD sign in the yard or Rented would be GREAT.  We are praying and wish you would say a prayer for us to and the Lord's will.  This minute just isn't the minute he has chosen, maybe tomorrow, next week, next year...only He knows.  I do know one thing though, during the last 2 years since we started this journey and reevaluated our lives and the journey we should be on, there have been so many thoughts we have had that we rethought and saw a clearer picture.  Oh I how believe that this Spring we will see new blooms, whether it be blooms of change somewhere else or blooms of change in what we think is the path the Lord is directing us.
