Laundry, anyone?

I have an excess of laundry, so anyone who wants some is welcome to it. I think about a week plus of dirty clothes have created a mountain in my room. And anyone who know me knows I hate laundry and often have a decent pile to deal with, but this is a different story. This is a MOUNTAIN! Our washer broke a couple of weeks ago. We braved it and went to the laundry mat the first week, but that cost $40 and before we did it again we decided it would be better spent being put toward an actualy washer. So today we purchased a new (used) washer - and never in my life have I been so greatful to be able to do laundry! mmmmm - the smell of clean clothes fresh from the dryer. So nice.
We initially thought fixing our washer would be cheaper, but after a little research into the problem, just the peice needed to fix it would cost at LEAST $175, not to mention getting someone to get their butt to our house to fix it - so...new washer, which ended up being $75 from a nice old man who repairs and resells washers and dryers . Thanks.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!

bribe

We had a fun weekend - we went to the zoo which was having family fun day, and then we went to the dog show (both of which were free). Then on Sunday we went to Greg & Robin's to see their new puppies, and they are stinkin' cute! And Greg BBQ'ed for us - yummy! At one point, while we were hanging out at their house, Robin sat down on the couch and asked M if she was gonna come sit by her, and M said: "I will sit by you if you get me a drink of water." (as she was climbing up on the couch next to her). And this would be the first time I have heard her use a bribe (and certainly not the last) - I told her maybe she should ask instead and she got embarassed.
