The Washer Saga has finally ended

Finally after a week of not having a washer we got a new washer on Sunday. We have been so busy the past three days. Its good though! I got all the laundry caught up and we ended up getting a totally different brand and type of washer. I had a top loading energy efficient one and ended up getting a front loader. Long story short is it ended up being a huge mess and our Local Lowes store came through wonderfully for us and helped so much!! So here is my new washer............................

We are going to have to do something different about the way it sits in our laundry room but that is ok. Right now it works great. I was going to be getting a base for it but after the few times of bending over to get clothes I have decided to hold off as it has been a great workout. Now if I were pregnant you can forget it! We would have one but since I am not I will enjoy the workout. Also Eli can get clothes in and out perfect. Its pretty cute to watch. He just comes in and helps. The only problem is I had not switched out batteries on my camera and so I don't have a picture but I am sure I will eventually. He is such a big helper.

We had some great thunderstorms come through yesterday. I was in doing laundry and saw lightening and as I saw it heard a bang. It scared me so bad. It ended up blowing a tree out a couple blocks away I think. I have yet to go see but Anthony said he thought it did. He saw the lightening go across the sky. I was able to get a few pictures. I have not done anything to them as I just don't have the time right now so they are right off my camera. I also am shooting complete manual now for everything. I am pretty proud of myself!! Its amazing how it has all clicked. The wind and rain picked up right as I was taking these and you could just feel the clouds about ready to dump everything.............

Today I took the kids to the store to pick up some things we need for this week and I also got my wedding ring resized. I think my bones have grown from pregnancy because I just can't get it on. I will use that excuse for now! I know I need to lose weight but I am only 8 pounds from where I was before Lilliana and in the jeans I wore before her  and could wear my ring so I don't think it is that. It does feel good to be wearing it again.

Sadly, I did not take my camera but I should have today. I missed so many great and fun things to capture with the kids but I would have never gotten anything done and hauling 20 pound Lilliana around all the while making sure Eli was not getting into anything just was not going to work with a camera. Carrying that girl everywhere is a workout in itself. I will be glad when she walks. Eli was walking at her size so we never had to carry him. She is just a big girl but we love her so much!

I told Eli before we even went into the jewelry store to not touch a thing. They have a lot of glass teacups and stuff. He was really great until we were leaving and I was not even paying attention but as we were walking out of the store he was running his hand along the top of the counter and hit a teacup. I wanted to die!! Thankfully nothing was hurt but he immediately looked at me and said, "I'm Sorry!!" All in all it was a great day!!
