happy hulse day!!!

we made it to and from the waterpark! of course, i forgot the camera, so we have nothing to actually show for the trip. correction - i have a lovely head of frizzy hair.



highlights of the trip:

84 degrees

not having to step one foot in the cold outside air

watching afton swim without plugging her nose

watching ella do her swim/dance

hanging out in our bathing suits all day long

snuggling up in our beds after spending the day in the water

giving the girls foot massages after their bath

delicious pizza from Boston's



lowlight of the trip:

afton vomiting on the way home





tonite i ran to tj maxx to look for easter dresses for the girls. i drove past old navy and thought maybe i should just pop in there and see if they have anything; but decided against it. i struggled to find a dress for afton at tjmaxx. they all looked way too old for her and they looked so cheap and ugly. so, i finally found a so-so dress and decided to head to old navy to see if they had any cute shoes to go with the dresses. i ended up finding two outfits for the girls and shoes for ella there. i drove back to tjmaxx and returned the original dresses.

moral of the story: listen to your shopping instincts.



also, here is a before picture of our air vents. i guess moe didn't take any after shots, but i saw with my own eyes and it was miraculous!

this is a little tricky. focus on the top half of the picture. the bottom half of the picture shows what's under the vent in our basement.
