back to work

i went back to work yesterday to cover some vacation time and can i tell you how nice it was to have an adult conversation!! i did miss my cute little monkeys by the end of the day, all i wanted to do was give them a big squeeze. cade took them out to visit his mom and didn't get home until 9:00. he just kept telling me to enjoy the free time....... i watched tv, folded laundry, did dishes, cleaned up the living room. wow what a great time right? anyways, ava was asleep so i didn't get to see her, but dane was sure happy to see me. he must have known i had a long day and was tired because he slept from 10:00 until 6:00. talk about a little piece of heaven.

sibling love

this is probably the only time i will get a picture

of these two together without someone mad (hence the picture is not very clear).

i gave it a good shot.

"i want a picture with baby guy" ava told me.... so there you go. dane

could not hold still of course, but that was the best i could do.

dane didn't like getting his picture taken and started to fuss right off

the bat.

then ava decided to help take pictures. she did pretty good. about half

of them had dane in them.

p.s. pics of yellowstone to follow. stay tuned...

a better way to clean...

here is a little tip that my sister in law told me about. cleaner can be so expensive (especially when you use it all day everyday) so try this next time you are out buying spray cleaner.
you will need
-1 bottle mr. clean antibacterial cleaner
-1 spray bottle (i purchased mine at wal-mart for $0.98)
-1 cup measure

make sure you have the right cleaner (i didn't get the antibacterial the first time around). then measure out 1/4 cup mr. clean. fill your cleaner bottle with water to the fill line. then add your mr. clean. that's it! smells really good. i use this to clean almost everything. this bottle will make a bunch of refills too. just think how much money you will save on cleaner.
