DUMPSTER DIVIN'

We all enjoyed a lovely day at the community center yesterday with free food, free jump house fun, free crafts, free bike helmets, free concerts, etc. It really was a lot of fun, until 9 pm last night when I asked Aaron where his retainer was...Do I need to say anything more?
NO, he had not seen it since lunch.
Yes, he had worn it there.
NO, he did not put it back in his mouth.
Yes, he remembers putting it in MY pocket.
NO, it wasn't there.
YES, we adorned ourselves with gloves and flashlights, and set off to look for it at 10:20 p.m. YES, we actually looked through approximately 30 bags of icky, slimy, half-eaten food.
YES, we did find it!! I was so relieved to find this $800 mouth restructuring appliance. I was a little mad, too, but mostly happy to have such a supportive husband.(Not every man would help their wives dig through garbage)
You may ask, WHY would the dentist give a retainer to a 10 year old boy?
I must say: I dunno'!!!!

All for the sake of a nicer smile!

I decided to do a little spring cleaning today. I had done quite a bit on Saturday, but decided under my bed was TOO dusty for my liking. So, I decided to move the bed and do a little vacuuming. As I moved the bed, I noticed some red marks on the floor. The more I moved the bed, the more marks showed up. I stopped moving it and decided to take the mattresses off and get a better look at the wheels of the bed. Upon doing this, I found that the three wheels toward the headboard end were covered in a red powder. This was very bizarre because it must have been there since the bed was installed back in 2007 because we had not moved the bed since then.

This is the clothe after cleaning two of the wheels.

Here are some of the better shots I got of the rug. It doesn't appear as bad in the photos as it does in person. The lighting and the camera causes it to look much lighter than it is.


here is a different view of some of the spots.


Yet another view.


In this video, I cleaned the wheels. In the other video, I tried to clean the spots a little. It didn't clean up very well, so I stopped.

More fun videos

Here are two of my monkeys at the park



Here's a video of Grandaddy pushing the little guys on the swings. We had so much fun while mom and dad were here. Miss you guys!

My little lamb

I came across this video of Sarah singing Mary Had a Little Lamb.
She is MY little lamb! Of course, she became indignant as soon as I
told her the next phrase in the song.
