Burning Daylight

The sun has returned to the north! Usually this is cause for celebration. Unless you're a mom. Bedtimes all over the state are getting debated now. How can it be bedtime if it's still light outside? My kids are hellions when it comes to bedtime anyway, so you can imagine the fun we've been having lately.
Part of my problem (and solution) is all these wonderful windows in our house. I truely love them, and love looking into the calming green of the woods behind our place. But, in an effort to preserve the blinds in this unit (the other unit's blinds started trashed and the boys further mangled them) we've decided not to use them at all. So, now I need to find alot of curtain material!
As you can imagine, with no Walmart to offset costs, buying material in large amounts (like over a yard) is a cringe-worthy purchase. Oh for a JoAnn's. >sigh<
So, I have a favor to ask of you all. If, on your rambles through all the wonderful stores down there, you notice any great material for cheap-o, or even actual pre-made curtains for cheap-o, snap a picture and/or give me a call. We'd pay you back and pay shipping as well if it's something that works. Thank you!
