Miscellaneous

I wanted to tell everyone about Walmart.com for photo developing. As everyone knows I am a freak with pictures. I take a bazillion pictures and I need to have the actual prints of every picture for my photo albums, scrapbooks and the kids' baby books. I had 203 pictures on my digital camera that I wanted printed! I asked Erik to have them done for me so I could get them deleted and get them into the photo albums. He told me about Walmart.com, so I logged on, downloaded the pictures and they print them and mail them directly to me! You can edit/crop your pictures as needed. For over 200 pictures, it only cost me a little over $30! I thought that was phenomenal. It takes about 5 business days, so as long as you don't need them right away, it is totally worth it.

My dishwasher and washing machine are broken! Yes, I am soooo lost right now. I ran the dishwasher on Friday night and when the cycle was complete, I opened the door and the coil on the bottom was sparking every time I opened or closed the door?? Freaky. I let it sit for a while and it stopped sparking. I went to try and run it again and it won't even turn on. Erik called the repairman and they are coming today between 9-1. I didn't do any laundry this weekend...oops, so I now have a mountain of dirty clothes. I went to throw in a load this morning and the washing machine won't turn on either! I called Erik and told him and he said to have the repairman look at it. Perhaps the washer and dishwasher are on the same water line, but the sink water and the fridge water work, so what is the deal? I thought the dishwasher just shorted out or something. Both appliances are only 2 or 3 years old. Erik and I bought them brand new when we bought the fridge and dryer too. Hopefully this will be fixed today b/c my hands are so dry from washing dishes and I am NOT going to the laundry mat! Call me a brat, but you get spoiled, you know?

Scott had his first real bath last night! Of course Aunt Laura was the one to give it to him b/c she gave Olivia her first bath, so it was only right. He screamed bloody murder, too funny! But he was in heaven when we massaged him with the lotion, he just layed there quiet as could be. He is doing really good on these new bottles and he is back on Enfamil Lipil with Iron, no problems so far.

Olivia is obsessed with her princess outfits that Karen got for her and has to dress up every second of the day. It's cute, but annoying b/c she can't put them on herself. She wakes up in the morning and puts one on, she puts one on as soon as she gets home from school and pretty much sleeps in them. She truly thinks she is a princess and begs me every day to make her hair grow longer. There is one dress that she just put on for the first time last night that has sparkles on it and there are now sparkles/glitter EVERY WHERE in my house, the couch, the carpet, the tile floor in the kitchen. I mean every where. I have never seen anything like it. Both she and Scott had baths last night, but they both have sparkles all over their face and it's so hard to get them off. You think you get it and then in another light, they are still there! Um, thanks Karen. JUST KIDDING! She does look so cute when she is dressed up though and watching her walk around in those shoes is hysterical.

The pictures are of Scott right after his bath and the Fairy Princess Olivia.
