ultrasounds and gumball fish tanks

We had a second ultrasound yesterday to do some more measuring. Apparently our little girl doesn't like to cooperate because we might have to go back yet again. I don't mind. The more pictures the better. I swear she looks just like my son with that precious little nose.

I realize the photo is pretty bad quality and that is because it was taken with my cell phone. My computer monitor died so I am using my husband's laptop which doesn't have a scanner. Hopefully my new screen will be in soon.

While leaving the doctor's office I passed an office with the coolest fish tank. Have you ever noticed that almost every doctor's office has a plant or betta fish? Anyways, this betta tank was a gumball machine. I asked where they purchased it and of course it was purchased by a friend of a friend so many years ago so no luck there.

I googled and found this tank on flickr. They converted it into a fish tank which is probably beyond my abilities. My son has a betta that we have been wanting to move to his room once we move and this tank would be PERFECT! I will continue my quest. Maybe I will come across something better (doubtful).

Should I be worrying about gumball fish tanks when we are moving in our new house next week? Maybe I will do some packing today to make up for my hour of fish tank searching.

Welcome Home

Dear mom & dad,
We usually don't mind when you leave because it's only for an hour or two. But today you left us in this laundry room for what seemed like an eternity. Yes, you left us plenty of toys, bones, fresh water, food, and even pee pee pads, but that doesn't compare to your undivided attention. We hope you will think twice before leaving us alone for more than 2 hours again.

Sincerely,
your dogs

ps. we really enjoyed the bones with the red filling (the stuff on the walls) and would like some more soon.

One hell of a sucka!

I did the unthinkable and dropped a pretty penny on a vacuum. Yeah, yeah, yeah...next it'll be a mini van. But hear me out before you sign me up for the PTA. This vacuum rocks! It works so well I was considering pointing it towards the family so that I can sit and peace and catch up on some Ugly Betty. I had to dump the canister 3 times! I just vacuumed the day before with my old Dirt Devil.

My husband told me I was like a kid on Christmas morning with that insane twinkle in my eye as I drool and play with my new toy in my pajamas. Apparently I am not the only one excited over the new Dyson because the first thing my son said when he woke was, "momma, can we play vacuum?"

He almost brought a tear to my eye. So we vacuumed again. lol We have 2 cats, 1 dog, and a toddler...this vacuum was made for my family.
