Career Day

This week Jacob is student of the week and his teacher likes to make it family of the week so Brian went in yesterday and explained his job and showed some tools that he uses.
Mrs. Winger loved how he told the kids; "I read and use math everyday so make sure you pay extra close attention to your teacher!"
We ate lunch with the boys then went to Jacob's class. After the presentation Brian explained some things about Jacob and how one of his qualities is sharing.. we then passed out candy bars to the whole class.
That morning Jacob asked me if I could get the full size candy bars, not the small ones. About an hour later I was talking to Brian and he asked me to get the full size candy bars, not the miniature, like father like son!!! LOL ;)
It was a fun time for Jacob and Brian!!

Sweet Sounds!!

Can you hear that? It's the sound of my washer actually washing!! Oh, I'm a happy girl!!
This is what the guy found when he pulled the pump out of my machine.. lol he thought they were worms at first!! Ha Ha there are probably 30 hair ties!!!
I went to Home Depot and got some "fresh" tablets and I'm running the sanitary cycle to clean that puppy out... Did I mention I'm a happy girl?!?!?!

Jam

I know you were wondering why I had jars by my strawberries right? Yes, I made jam, and it is YUMMO!! You know you want some ;)

Carb Heaven

This is my most recent coupon run... hello carb heaven!! Haylee walked in and said "Holy junk food! Mom, we should just have one a day and then go run right?"
That's my girl!!!

Laundry

So I know I'm a little freaky but I actually enjoy doing laundry. I do at least two loads a day and I can't stand a full basket.
Wednesday night I was finishing up a load when my washer stopped and gave an error code. After looking up the owners manual online because I don't have one, I tried to find the model number which happens to be inside the door that was now locked and would not open.. we had to tip the washer forward and finally got the door to unlock. It was reporting a clogged/pinched drain so my wonderful hubby the handyman took the hose off, rinsed it out and we tried to start the wash again. The drum filled then stopped, same code then the control panel froze!
Long story short I had four days of clothes for six people so I headed to the laundry mat yesterday. Well, let me tell you.. one was closed because it was Sunday and the other had half of Washington County in it!! I did three tiny loads (for $1.50 each) and got out of there as fast as I could.
I called to have it looked and and my great news for today?? ;) They can't come until WEDNESDAY! ughh I feel like throwing a temper tantrum and kicking and crying on the floor! Well, not that bad but I hate not being able to wash stuff!!!
whaaaa whaaa whaaa

Best Kids Ever!!!

I absolutely love being a mom! When we got home last night the kids went right to work unloading the van without being asked! Not only did they unload it, they vacuumed it and got rags and pine sol and cleaned it inside and out!! They said since we were so nice to take them on vacation this was the least they could do..aaawwwww... and we know how you hate stuff being dirty so everyday we will do this for you.
WOW, I love these guys!!

Museum

On the way home we stopped by an Air Field. I have no idea the name of it but the kids loved it!!
