When I'm the mom, I will NEVER...


EVER EVER Dust items in my house using an air compressor! NEVER SAY NEVER...because guess what I did yesterday??? DUSTED MY HOUSE WITH AN AIR COMPRESSOR!

I know what some of you are thinking..a little OCD eh? Well there is some truth to that I guess. The truth is I really don't care for dusting that much, but this makes it sooo nice. My mom made us dust this way growing up. I remember taking down ALL of my mom nic-nacs and we would take them outside and spray them off with my dads compressor. We only did this during the Spring, but we did it every year with a HUGE smile on our face right guys?

I've come to realize the older I get, i'm a lot like my mom (which I take as a high compliment.) I LOVE LOVE LOVE having a clean, decorated home. It makes me feel so good! Pathetic, I know but at least I'm honest right? But for those of you who know my wonderful mother, you understand where I get this!!! I'm honestly trying to simmer down a little when it comes to having a clean house, but it's hard for me. I think I realized just how bad I was when Darren came home from work starving and dropped some crumbs on the counter (can you believe it??) and he looked up and me and said with fear in his voice, "i'll clean it up, I promise!) Poor guy, look what he has to put up with.

So the house is all dusted, curtains all washed and i'm one happy camper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anybody else have OCD issues out there???

Our refrigerator started acting up the other day so Saturday we finally had to take EVERYTHING out and defrost and clean up the whole thing. Good thing Darren is such a handy man and fixed it for us. It seems we are back in business! It was such a MESS.

We love our Helmet Head! Judd is offically my little NERD BOMBER! Haha. Judd has to wear this lovely device for 23 hours each day. The poor kid has been such a trooper. It breaks my heart to see the little beads of sweat rolling down his face from this awful thing. Good News...we should only have to wear it for 6 weeks, 8 max. Most people wear them for months and months. Judd has the helmet because of plagiocephaly (abnormal head shape) and we are continuing to work on his torticollis (tight muscles in his neck from being squished inside.) So we will have the little man all fixed up!
Now to explain the dirty face...Judd was outside in his walker being entertained by the one and only Koi a.k.a. chief babysitter when all of the sudden Darren heard him laughing,which then turned into screaming. Darren peeked around the corner to witness Koi licking him to death. Judd adores Koi, they are going to be BFF!
