Life Moments

Nick and I spent the week unpacking and organizing the house. It was a long, tiring process, but we got it finished for the most part. The house looks good and we are enjoying it. We've had some exciting things happen in the past two weeks since we've been home.

Lizards:

The first few days we were home, we found a total of 3 small lizards inside our house. They are pretty cute and do no harm so the only thing I worried about was one of them crawling on me while sleeping! Thankfully that hasn't happened and we haven't seen any in over a week now. We found one in the bathroom crawling on the floor. I discovered it when I woke up one morning and it startled me. Nick woke up and caught it in a box and took it outside. The second one was actually on the mop handle. When I moved the mop, I felt something land on my leg and I freaked out and screamed and ran around. All the movement caused me to accidentally squish the poor thing. The last one was just crawling around on our bedroom wall. We caught and released that one as well.

Swiffer Wet Jet:

I like my new Swiffer Wet Jet because I can spot clean the tile floors easily. The other day I had Nick hold it up by the handle so I could put a new pad on it. He didn't know the button to spray the cleaner out was on the handle and he ended up spraying the cleaner all over my face! Thankfully it did not get in my eyes, but my skin was iching the rest of the day even after washing it off. He felt bad about it, but we laugh about it because it was funny. :)

AC Unit:

We have two different AC units. One upstairs and one downstairs. The upstairs one stopped working last weekend. Thankfully we had an air mattress and were able to camp out downstairs. We were just glad to have at least one AC unit that worked! We had it fixed and it's been working great ever since! We're praying for no more problems with the unit.

Snickers:

Snickers has a nice spot to lay and nap that is up high. Right abover our front door is a little flat area where he likes to lay. We have an open staircase and so he goes up the stairs and then jumps up to it. During the move he jumped down from there (it's a good 10 feet onto tile floors). He was not hurt though. The other day, Nick and I were playing with Perdi and Snickers was up there watching down at us. Snickers thought he would attack Perdi and he jumped down to get her. However, the landing wasn't good for him and he ended up hurting his paw. I thought about taking him to the vet, but he could put some weight on it and so I wanted to wait and see what would come of it. After a day he was almost back to normal and so I didn't worry about it. I'm so glad I didn't take him to the vet because he's fine now and it would have been a waste of money.

Snickers waving "Hi!"

Summer is almost over and it has really gone by fast this year. I say that every year, and it's just amazing to me how time goes faster the older you get. I'm excited for a fresh group of kids and a new year. I am hoping for this year to be a great one!
