Still here

I'm still here...I guess it's been a busy week or I just didn't feel like updating the blog! Hudson did stay puke-free, although he ran a fever on Friday. He's cutting his eye teeth so maybe it had something to do with that because he was fine yesterday.

Ryan went on a mountain bike road trip yesterday, so the boys and I had some fun together. A coworker(thanks Joe!) had given me a bunch of apples, so we made apple crisp and apple bread. I borrowed my boss' apple peeler thingie (thanks Kristian!) and the boys had great fun with it. They called it a robot and Brooks had fun turning the handle. Hudson loved watching it, they really thought it was the greatest thing ever.

We took a walk around our neighborhood while the goodies were baking and found a yard sale. Brooks found a Thomas Train book and a Veggie Tales book, so it was successful! After naptime we headed to Goodwill for their quarterly half price sale. Everything in the store is half price! I missed the last one because I was in Guatemala, but the one before that Jess, Dan and I hit the stores and found lots of good stuff for cheap.

My mission yesterday was to find a breadmaker. My breadmaker had an unfortunate accident this past week. I dropped it while I was pulling it out of the cabinet (it bounced on the floor!) and it cracked and bent. The lid won't close anymore so it's no good. I was pretty bummed, I've had that thing as long as we've been married (9 years!) and it has been a good one. So I headed straight to the back of the store to look for a breadmaker. I came across one in the box, so I put it in my cart to take a better look at it. And that's when I noticed it was the same exact breadmaker that I had! It looks like it's only been used a few times, the pan looks new. And I only paid $7.50 for it! I looked around for some other bargains, but didn't find anything. It's harder to really bargain hunt when I have both the boys with me.
