Out with the Old




It has been too long since my last post, but life has been CRAZY! My business, swim lessons, Jazzercise, Grace, Ella, house, planning for the inevitable! (The list could go on forever!!!)

Anyhow, a few fun things have been going on lately. Grace took two weeks of Mom and Tot swim lessons and finished them yesterday. She is pretty good about being in the pool for a bit, then she wants to get out and run around. Scares me to death. We spent a lot of time in the 1 ft pool. Of course, I had to be in the pool with her, so that meant an 8 month pregnant woman in a bathing suit...not one of my best looks :)I avoided the camera and took pictures with her swim instructor helping her instead.

I was able to dunk her under and she didn't cry...she will kick her legs ferociously and she loves to try and blow bubbles. We'll be working on that in the bathtub from now on until the skill is mastered. She loves to splash. Though, like every kid her age, she refused to put her head back in the water. She won't even do it in the tub, so I knew it was going to happen. But, overall she loves the water and she can't wait to show Daddy all her new big girl skills.

As for the title of the blog... My friends in Texas already know that we purchased all new appliances, but I thought I would post the pics! I was Lowe's on Memorial Day and saw the insane sale they were having on Energy Star rated appliances and then they were giving a MILITARY DISCOUNT on top of it! Talk about crazy good prices. We saved over $500 on our appliances and they installed them for free! (Even the dishwasher!) I used my dishwasher for the first time tonight and could not believe that it actually washed AND dried the entire load and it didn't sound like it was going to catch fire like the last one. The fridge has 2 cubic feet more space and an ice maker...going to do wonders for me this summer! The stove heats so fast and I can't wait to bake cookies and make yummy Sunday dinner casseroles when Matty comes home.
