Busy couple of days
Ellen | September 12, 2008 | 10:47 amWell Wednesday and Thrusday I didn’t have Brooke so I decided it was time to tackle this mess I call my house.
Wednesday Loralee came over and we spent the whole day cleaning, scrubbing floors, dusting, vacuuming ect. finally finished at suppertime. then yesterday she came over and helped me clean out the basement, we had some flooding down there, didn’t realize just how much until I started moving stuff,, holy wet !! lots of boxes (most of them empty thank goodness) and a few boxes of old books from college ect all had to be thrown out. even the dog kennel that is down there was full of water !
we spent all day lifting and lugging stuff out of the basement to the shed to store it until we can get it hauled away to the dump.
in moving stuff to clean and repacking stuff into dry boxes, I came across a little crock pot that we had gotten Karla for Christmas a few years back, both her and I had forgotten about it, I had bought her one for Christmas last year, and she went to use it a few weeks ago only to find it didn’t work !! so it was nice to find this one for her.
the girls will be down tonight for the weekend. I think the plan is to go to the pool tomorrow afternoon. its been a while since Brooke was there for a swim.
here are a few new pictures from the first of the week of our little peanut !
Have a great weekend folks ! And thanks for stopping by !

Hey Mom, Brooke is growing like a weed. I can't
Shan | September 14, 2008 | 2:26 pmHey Mom,
Brooke is growing like a weed. I can’t imagine what she is going to be like at Xmas. I am sure you are counting down the days once again. It won’t be long and we will be home.
Take care. <<>>
Glad you caught the flooding in the basement before things
