Going GREEN...

I know. I know. I know. I always give in to fads... eventually. Have you watched HGTV lately? They're all about "going green" and saving the planet. At first, I was thinking, "Oh brother! Give me a break! How is it saving the planet to throw out your refrigerator and replace it with a stainless steel one?" When I realized there was something in it for me, besides the warm fuzzies, I thought, "Why not? Why not go green for green?" I mean, who isn't going green? We've gone extremely green :)

The lights stay off. Kinda dumb that I never did this before. Usually, these three lights were on pretty much all day...

the kitchen...

the dining room...

and the living room (the fan was on high when I took this picture. Funny, huh?).

Growing up, we always turned the lights off when we left a room, but lately, we never turn them on. We have so many windows in the house, and every day is sunny, so we haven't needed lights.

My dryer is empty because

we put in a clothesline :)

You don't see that on HGTV!

We've gone so far as to pulling teeth! Olivia and Travis are bringing in the dough! They're total cash cows. If they have a tooth that is the tiniest bit loose...

that baby's comin' out!

That's two out for Olivia, in less than a week!

Travis lost one of his front teeth. It won't be long and we'll be pulling the other one out.

Less teeth = less $ in toothpaste = :)

Yep, we'll have their college paid for pretty soon.
