More restorations still going.... 

One of my all time favorite houses. 

The only draw back to this house would be how many square feet there are to clean

Clean, wash,disenfect...Repeat steps one through three

Noahs got the bug 
I have spent the last 3 days cleaning up throwup,washing laundry on which throw up may or may not have landed, and disenfecting my house. First it was Hunter, he came home from his dads house feeling pretty good but had been sick. SO he stayed home with me on Monday. Then Johnny picked Tyler up from school Monday and he was throwing up on the way home. So I stayed with him yesterday because when Tyler gets sick he tends to dehydrate rapidly. Just when I was thinking it wasn't to bad, I had all the sheets and towels and bathrooms clean and in order again, Tyler had started to feel better and was keeping his liquid down. He even cleaned up the playroom. Then I put Noah for a nap and took a nice hot bath right in the middle of the day, I was thinking I should have left them with my mom and went to work,everything was ok. Then I was sitting at my computer desk paying my bills when I heard Noah whine followed by a blurping sound, yep you guessed it I went into his room and he was laying flat on his back with his mouth a pool full of blue gatorade and pieces of ravioli with a look on his face like what is this nasty stuff in my mouth and how did it get there. It was really kind of funny him making a wrinkle face at the throw up. Anyway that was the beginning of the next round of constant cleaning. Boo woke up this morning about 11. And he seems to be feeling better, well see.

My little piece of paradise

Inside my new van 
Since we have been taking care of my neice Elizabeth for quite some time now we could not go somewhere as a family in one car. It was really getting old and I found one of these vehicles on the internet and fell in love. Nobody quite understood my obsession with a conversion van and frankly since I have adamantly refused to drive a minivan for the last 8 years I can see the cause of the confusion. But they just arent me, I have 3 boys, yes 3, I love them but going sdomewhere with them in the car was quite... lets say stressful. In fact its alittle more than stressfull you see I would rather have had my nails pulled of my fingers than take them on a long trip. This thing is like a living room on wheels. I LOVE IT! I have not been stressed in the car since I got it, I have not raised my voice, yelled, cried nothing, I LOVE TO TAKE THE KIDS PLACES. This thing is worth its weight in gold to me. I Have not had to threaten to ground anyone for centuries or burn any yugio cards, nothing. ITS GREAT!
