Never in all my life have I dreaded an Easter as this one. No because of the holiday itself but what it would hold for our family! Or mission was to retrieve this A 1985 Chevy Suburban from the beautifully warm State of Arizona. Of which we live no where close to! 
This is the means by which the fellas got to Arizona (the fellas being hubby and my brother-in-law) 
So they left Saturday morning via the above airplane and flew to NYC then from there to Phoenix Az. Then they took a two hour shuttle ride north to see the truck. They loved it. so thus that evening they started their long journey back across the U.S. From Arizona to New Mexico and from there to Texas and from there to Oklahoma and from there to Kansas And from there to Missouri (apparently to buy cattle) To understand that you can read my brother-in-law’s blog by clicking here and reading the comments. Then from Missouri to Illinois to Indiana to Ohio and finally to New York A total of 2,500 miles DRIVEN in a Day and a half! In the meantime I spent the entire time at my parents home in Pennsylvania until hubby came to pick me up last night. We left at 2 AM this morning so he could come back for work. What a weekend and I just wanted to thank two people. Thanks to HT and Sugar. Sugar for giving up her hubby for their first Easter together as a married couple and HT for making the long journey and keeping my hubby awake. Make it three and the Good Lord for keeping everything and everyone safe! As for the reason of doing all this! We bought a brand New car last August the week after Ladybug was born, however as we just realized the back seat will be quite cramped with three car seats. That’s right baby #3 is due two days after Thanksgiving!
Have you Ever…….
Now I must start out this post with a disclaimer. I have no idea who I am writing about. It was just a random person my husband and I saw along the road this week and were amused! We have never seen anything quite like it so if it was you, we are sorry but it was just so different. So my question is Have you ever seen ..someone vacuuming their yard? No I am not kidding and Yes I am quite serious. Last Saturday being my birthday we went out . Not having been out for some time, we went to a bulk foods store then came back for lunch and then went in the opposite direction to the big city. I had a great day but it was on the way to the Bulk foods Store that we drove past someone with a Shop Vac (R) out along the road Vacuuming SOMETHING. Hubby and I both laughed and and made a few comments and we were on our way but I can honestly say it was a very funny thing to see. Oh yes did I Tell you that this is my third birthday pregnant! (No big deal you say, but those three birthdays are in a row!)
Tavkle It Tuesday # 10
I have to be able to fit all of this….
In here!!!
And the finished product!
Buying in bulk is great it saves us a lot of money and time in shopping but i FIND IT DIFFICULT TO PUT SOME OF THOSE REALLY LARGE PACKAGES AWAY! But there, it’s all done and my counter is not piled high one again!
Scent
One of my favorite parts of spring is flowers blooming! I also love the scent that they put forth. I would have them in my house all winter if I could but I am like millions of other Americans who suffer from pretty bad hay fever a good part of the year (other than when I am pregnant 😉 ) So Even floral scented candles are not a option ! But recently we switched back to using normal detergent for our laundry. We were using unscented without color for the baby but I have given in. There is just something so nice about clean laundry that smells good. And then about a year and a half ago we bought two huge things of Dish liquid from Sam’s Club (R) We didn’t realize it but it was anti-bacterial. I know I know you really aren’t supposed to use it for one reason or another but we weren’t about to throw out ALL that dish liquid so after a year and a half it is ALL GONE!!! YAY! and now on to the real stuff. We bought Dawn (R) Fresh berries scent and it has actually become a pleasure to wash dishes! (Sick HUH?) And my hands are almost back to normal. Oh yeah the anti-bacterial stuff killed my skin..especially on my right hand! I would not recommend it to anyone!
