Can You Tell Me How to Get

How to get to Sesame Street?

On Friday afternoon we started a little weekend getaway. Thanks to Anheuser-Busch, we were able to visit Sesame Place once again this year.

There were lots of water rides, which we needed in that hot, humid weather ...

And roller coasters ... to blow us dry.

And lots of furry people to shake hands with ...

I think they purposely targeted Taylor because he was the oldest and tried his hardest not to have fun (or show that he was having fun).


And Harlem Globetrotters to meet.

Hi Lera! I'm so glad my kids weren't in the room when I clicked on your blog! :)

I have a completely off topic question for you - what is a decent price to pay for all of the vintage pyrex you collect? You've inspired me to start collecting it as well and I found three pieces at a yard sale this weekend, but she wanted $30 for the three bowls. I thought that was a little high, so I passed. THanks for all of your inspiration!

looks like fun! I'd love to take my kids someplace like that (without actually having to travel too far - we don't have anything like that around here.)

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
