Still a Busy Bee

I was still quite a busy bee today. The house didn't get bug bombed today. Hopefully tomorow before we go, but I don't know. We have to be out of the house for four hours after we put it going, and I have to pack for our long weekend up north in the morning as we're leaving after Aaron gets off of work.

What I did today though was run errands and make a few phone calls. All things that I have been putting off for too long and I needed to clear the clutter out of my mind. Here is what I did if your interested:
- I sorted through all of my baby boy clothes that were just sitting in rubbermaid boxes in my room that needed to be sorted. Some of the lcothes aren't going to fit Logan in the right season that Travis wore, so I needed to figure out what else I need to garage sale for this summer.
- tried to stop at our little " tire shop" where we have gotten a few cheap tires in the past to try and see if they have tires for my dad. They weren't open, so I have to call tomorrow.
- Checked the mail to find a free sample of Dunkin Donuts coffee, and three free Huggies Diapers for Logan, for sure those will get used. :)
- I went to the hospital and brought my doctor the papers to fill out and fax to Target head quarters so I can go back to work next month.
- Travis and I went to Target to pick up dish soap and bug bombs and some more Shout. I'm using lots of that these days. Summer clothes are so much more complicated to wash than winter clothes. Many more stains to scrub out.
-buzz to Jenna's eye dr's so they could fill out her pre school screening form saying her eyes are fine. We walked around in there lost for about fifteen minutes before we figured out which elevator went to the third floor.
-I am currently doing my laundry- which should be ready to go in the dryers. Hope everyone has a great fourth of July! We are planning on spending much of our weekend out at the camp. Can't wait!

Ready to Bomb

All clear!
This townhouse is officially ready to be bombed.... for bugs.
I have been seeing this icky little beetles in the house now that summer has finally arrived. They are small and black with a single brown stripe going across it's back. I looked up what they are online, and from what I found I think they are larder beetles, and some icky worm looking things are their larvae. I'm not a hundred percent sure about the worms, but I am about the beetle. Gross right?
So I decided that I am gong to bug bomb this place before we go up north for the weekend. In order to do that though, your house should be clean.... SO.... today I put the pedal to the metal and made tracks around here. And I cleaned. Seriously cleaned. Probably the spring cleaning I should've done in the spring. But I'll use the "I just had a baby so I didn't have the energy" card for that one. :) Anyways.... I gave this place a good scrubbing.

The kitchen: dishes, counters cleaned and I scrubbed the floor on my hands and knees. Don't get too impressed, my kitchen floor is only 4 ft x 9 ft. The only thing that didn't get done in there was my refrigerator. Maybe I'll get to that tomorrow..... maybe. The living/dining room: picked up, vacuumed and dusted... check!

The bathroom: emptied the soggy pee diapers from last night out of the garbage that were smelling up the downstairs, scrubbed the sink, scrubbed the tub, scrubbed the toilet ( I had to put the cleaning solution in three times before I actually got to scrub it. Apparently Travis thought that the blue water needed to be flushed and proceeded to do that twice before I beat him to it with the scrub brush.), and also did the floor in there on my hands and knees. Again don't be too impressed. It's about the same size as my kitchen floor.

Jenna and Travis's room: I couldn't see the floor before I started, now... they have a very nice carpet to play on in their room. :) AND.... it's clean so that Jenna can clearly see that there is no where for monsters to hide in there. Now to figure out where to put all of Logan's clothes. We need a dresser for him. Anyone have one they want to get rid of? :)

Even my room got cleaned! :) And no... I didn't do the classic clean up job and shove everything either in the closet or under the bed. :) Shame on you for thinking that. :0)

So... back to the bugs. Now that this place is all sparkley and clean, I can hopefully work on getting rid those nasty bugs. I have been seeing them EVERYWHERE. From the kitchen sink, under the table, crawling across the carpet in the living room, in my room under Logan's crib, the bathroom ( it was in the sink!) everywhere. I HATE creepy crawlies, so hopefully this bug bombing will work. Wish me luck!

My Donut

We were getting ready to go to the park after supper and Jenna was a big mess. She said she was ready to go. When I asked her if she knew what she looked like, she said yes. When asked what, she replied "um.... A Donut."

Another Beach Day

We spent a great afternoon at the beach. We picked up Wendy's for supper and headed to the lake. The kids had a great time splashing in the water, and surprisingly it was really warm! I had not planned on jumping in myself, but once I discovered how nice the water was I couldn't resist.

Travis LOVED the water tonight. He didn't dare go in much more than where the waves were crashing onto shore, but I was completely fine with that.

Jenna had a blast as well. She was a little bit braver, so I had to keep a close eye on her. I was thankful to have Aaron as an extra pair of eyes.

This is the beach we went to. Beautiful huh? :)

Good Morning!

Finally! Caught that smile on camera!

working on a smile. He's finally smiling every day, and is cooing and complaining more often too. He's been such a serious baby til now so I am loving these new developments.

one more time for good measure! He's officialy two months old as of yesterday. We'll see how big he's gotten as he's got an appt. this afternoon. He's due for shots. :(
Poor little guy! Hope everyone has a good day!

Weekend Re-Cap

Logan slept through his first Bridgefest Parade. It was a beautiful evening, and the parade was nice. It was a fun start to the long weekend.

On the way home from my mom's we stopped at Canyon Falls and let the kids check out the water. They wanted to go all the way in. We took them to the beach once we got home and had supper out there too. We grilled hot dogs for the kids and Cheddarwursts for Aaron and I. They were delicious. We went to the local ice cream shop for ice cream afterwards. It was a great way to end the day.

Jenna and Travis at the parade waiting for candy. Most of the entries had run out of candy by the time they got to us, but the kids got a few handfuls. Enough to keep them happy.

It felt so good to come back home yesterday after being up at my mom's since last Wednesday. We had a great time up there. BEAUTIFUL weather almost every day. Sunday we spent some quality time out at the camp before heading back into town for night church. I had a sauna and jumped in "the lake". My first time in there this year. It felt great! :) I love our time spent out at the camp in the summers. I'm going to miss it alot this year when I can't just buzz out there for a hot day or a quick weekend.
It's hot out today though, and after Jenna's eye dr. appointment we are heading to the beach with Jennie.

Jenna and Amie

Jenna and Amie H. They are such good buddies. We are glad that they just live right across the parking lot. :)
