Breaking the Bank

I had to break open the change jar today and head to the laundromat.  Not.  Fun.

Just over a week ago our washing machine started giving us an error code telling us that the drain line was clogged.  We have (or Ben has!) cleaned it out numerous times and it's still acting up!

So in one week's time I've managed to get 3 loads of laundry done. 

That isn't good, especially since I was already backed up on laundry from being sick the week before.

SO...this morning I got tired of looking at it all so I sorted everything, loaded it into my van, and went to the laundromat.  

 I was able to fill 9 washing machines before I ran out of coins and cash!!  I had 2 more loads that I just brought back home. 

That was not fun!!!  

My plan is to have Ben help me bring it all home, then we are going to sort, fold, and fill a bag for Goodwill!!!

Mason is 2!!

Today our sweet baby boy turned 2 years old!!  

He is such a smart little guy and brings us all so much joy!  Of course, when he's destroying Wyatt's lego creation or sneaking away with Natalie's Littlest Pet Shop toys--they don't describe him as joyous!  

We love you so much Mason!!

 He loves tractors, thanks to cousin Nolan!

 cheese face!

 

Sickies :(

We were hit this past week with another stomach virus!  This is the second time this winter and I think this is enough!  

I still feel so wiped out and we got behind on so many things, especially school....that means we'll be working hard this week to catch up!

We also have 2 big birthdays this week, and we're planning for a big trip! 

Hopefully I can get some pics up soon!
