- Tidbit #1 :: Dyson, Day 2
I vacuumed all the rooms with the Dyson again today. I wanted to see if it really did as good as a job yesterday, as I thought it did… After I was done yesterday, I had dumped the container, so I started out today empty too… And as you can see, it didn’t even get half as much today, as it did yesterday. So it must have done great yesterday.
Yay!

- Tidbit #2 :: Dishes
The boys have been doing dishes (usually around once a week) for over a year now, and both the girls have been dying to get in there and do them too. So, I might as well let them, right? *lol* … So now when Josh does the dishes, Alicia does them with him, and Amanda does them with Jared.
Last night Josh and Alicia did them, and Josh had Alicia wash. She was in heaven, and did a really good job! She washes those dishes so much, I’m surprised the patterns are still on them. *rofl*
Jared and Amanda did it tonight, but like the dork that I am, I forgot to take a picture. *pout*

- Tidbit #3 :: Improv Everywhere
These “Improv Everywhere” videos completely crack me up! *rofl*
- Tidbit #4 :: Zoo Layouts
And here are a couple layouts I made for Jared’s album:

First Trip to the Zoo (page 3)
Since everyone thought it was a good idea to give Jared a camera to take to the zoo, and liked the idea of seeing the zoo from his perspective, I thought I would make a couple layouts out of the pictures that he took… So thanks for the idea! *lol*
Journaling:
Jared, these are the pictures that
you took while we were at the zoo.
Seeing as you were only 3 years old,
and it was a cheap disposable
camera, I was impressed at how
they turned out. I think you did
great!… I bought you a cheap
photo album, and let you put the
pictures and and “decorate” the
pages yourself. You loved that!

Go the dyson!
Go the kiddos!
That “improve everywhere” clip cracked me up! *rofl* (I haven’t even heard of them before)
Cute layouts too! I love the Noah’s Ark feel to them.
They have a bunch of those Improv Everywhere videos on YouTube… But I think this one is the funniest. *lol*
The kids are so cute doing the dishes. I left the boys for about 15 min. the other day to run a quick errand and when I came home the house smelled all yummy. THEY WERE CLEANING!!!
That Improv thing was way too funny! I was laughing throughout the whole thing. I like trying to predict who is going to join in next. LOL
Josh and Alicia would clean without being asked, to surprise me (especially Josh), but Amanda and Jared wouldn’t! *rofl*
How wonderful that your children WANT to do dishes!! How great for you!!
The layouts are so cute and colorful as usual.
I LOVED the improv thing.. so funny and cute.
I figure I better enjoy it while I can, because when they are teens they won’t “want” to do it anymore! … They’ll still have to, but they won’t want to! *rofl*
aw…they look so cute doing the dishes together!! You have to take a photo of Jared & Amanda next time THEY do the dishes too
have a great weekend! *hugs*
Joe said we should have them do it again tonight, just to get a picture… Don’t think Jared would like that AT ALL! *rofl*
That Dyson is amazing, right! Cute picture of Josh and Alicia doing dishes - too cute. Have a good Morther’s Day - see you soon - Kellan
LOVE my Dyson!!!! Need to go vacuum for Day #3
Wow the Dyson does do great! Hmm now you got me thinking LOL.
Too cute with the kids doing dishes. Jarod helped me the last couple day’s do the dishes. He loves to help.
Nice layouts and love seeing Jared’s pics!!!
Happy Mother’s Day if I don’t get to comment this weekend LOL.
Thanks Jody! Happy Mother’s Day to YOU too!!!
LOL poor kids!!
oh forgot to say those layouts are SOO lovely!
Thanks Annika!
Glad the Dyson is working so well for you! Yay on helpes with the dishes.
For the last 3 nights I haven’t had to do dishes… It’s been awesome! *rofl*
Too cute with the girls wanting to clean. I have to threaten to get my boys to help. Sigh
I’m sure that this “wanting” to clean won’t last… It didn’t with the boys!! *rofl*
I’m going to be singing I need a napkin all day LOL!!
I saw on one of them where they had people in these windows of this big shopping building - LOVE IT!
I like that one too! *lol* … I also love the Grand Central Station one, where they freeze for 5 minutes. So funny!
Happy Mother’s Day Julie!!
Happy Mother’s Day to YOU too!!
those layouts are so cute! i have been drooling over those new ark kits!!
too cute about your little cleaners!
oh, you know, i heard the WORST things about dysons. which was so disappointing to me - i really wanted one. glad to hear it’s working for you!
Weird that you should say that, because I’ve looked at TONS of online reviews, and only read good things about them. Every one I know that has one, loves it.
