Who would have thought?


So this is my washer, which is in the laundry room, which is by the back door, which is where everyone comes in. Since it is by the back door it seems to be a catch-all for anything, and when doing the "whirlwind" cleaning it sometimes turns into the closet where you don't want to open the door because everything will fall out. The fact that you can walk through makes it really convenient to leave stuff in there, so sometimes i wish i could seal off one of the doors. Well one day in passing I set a book on the washer. Bad idea. Who would of thought that this could be bad? Well according to Mike everybody knows you don't put a book on the washing machine. So i went to put the book away and to my suprise it didn't budge. This book was so stuck i had to get a metal spatula with a point so i could wedge it in there and pry the book off. It took some serious elbow grease to work that thing off of there without completely destroying it. I couldn't believe how hard it was to get it off. I wouldn't have felt so bad if it wasn't a christmas gift from Mike. I was trying to get it off with out him knowing, but he just happened to be home at this very moment and he saw the book and went to pick it up...and it wouldn't come off. Now there is a lovely reminder on my washing machine of my poor book. So here is a friendly reminder to never put a book on your washing machine...but of course everybody else already knows that!

Simple Pleasures

























I love how my children remind me to smile at the simple things in life. Savanah was so fascinated by this squirrel, and I think the squirrel was just as fascinated with her, he sat on the porch for a long time just starring at her. He was probably wondering why she hadn't given him any food yet!





I did what?

I'm not pointing any fingers but this kid looks a little guilty.

So this is where Ben turned off our freezer. I didn't find out about it until about two days later...and everything was thawed. Lovely!


Well at least my freezer is cleaned and organized...not hard to do when it's empty!! Kids, you gotta love em!

Let's go fly a kite!

We are loving this nice spring weather and thought we would take advantage of the windy days we have been having. I haven't flown a kite in so long, it was so much fun!
