Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
Big thanks to B and Rachel for letting us borrow their washer for a few loads of laundry this evening. We will begin the search for a new washer (and possibly dryer) tomorrow because ours will cost roughly $500 to fix. A new washer costs about $650. Given that our current washer is nine years old, it doesn’t make sense to fix it. So, on to a new washer search!
Next time I order from pizza from Gumby’s, I’m using the coupon. Too funny! Priceless!
Even when it’s been a rough night and the kids had to be punished for bad behavior, there is still nothing better than a family dinner spent together talking about our days.
You have been so flawless for nine years *to the day* now and I realize you might be a bit tired, but I wish that you would have decided to break down during the week when I was just running one load of laundry instead of on Laundry Sunday. At least you let me wash a few loads of clothes before you quit. Hopefully, we will get you all repaired on Tuesday and make you all happy again. (BTW, special thanks to the Lowerys for letting me wash a load of laundry at your house!)
Laura attended a Girl Scout event today called American Girl: Social Butterfly. The girls earned the “Social Butterfly” Junior-level badge that included lessons on manners, etiquette, social skills, and friendship skills along with solving an American Girl mystery. Laura had a great time and was so excited to get to attend a Girl Scout event with one of her American Girl dolls. She made sure that she and Lauren both wore their American Girl shirts and their Brownie vests. It was a fun morning with her troop mates. I am so glad that Laura is a Girl Scout. She loves it and all the new experiences!
Gumby’s Pizza, the Olympics, and relaxing with the family on Friday night!
…registration. It is the time of year when everything must be done at once – Girl Scout cookie delivery, yearbooks, Ridgeway t-shirt orders, Camp MUDD registration, taxes, Ridgeway FunDay preparation… Well, you get the picture. Check another one off my list! Camp MUDD registration for both kids is in the mail. We even gave in to Laura and decided to forego Summer School this year. She and John will be attending Camp MUDD for eight of the nine available weeks. At first, I thought that Summer School would be the better option because it would keep them in the school routine and save us a little money, but, really, they are kids. Let them have fun in the summers while they still can.
