Wack-A-Doodle

Ashley's nickname in the house is wack-a-doodle. She has become a silly, wacky, crazy kid! Often making silly faces and cracking us up. Sure do love our wacky girl!

In Case of Emergency...

So tonight as I was doing laundry I opened the dryer and began to pull the girls' clothes out when I noticed something. EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING had orange spots, streaks, stains on it! I immediately began to panic! What on earth was on their clothes! And @#*&%! New clothes, cute clothes, old clothes, tons and tons of clothes fit into my HE washer and dryer. AHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Low and behold the culprit...an orange crayon was melted all over the dryer. I quickly rushed to the computer and googled what to do and there are several recipes of a concoction of detergents to get crayon out of clothes. Of course did I have all of the detergent stuff, no! So I did what any panicked mom would do, pack up the kids (Jason is out of town) and head to the store. So with both girls in pajamas in tow...we went to Walgreens (not braving Walmart) and bought tons of detergent. Two and half hours later on the sanitize cycle, almost all of the clothes were clean!!!!! Only four things did not make it. I am over the moon happy and wanted to share the recipe of detergents in case of emergency!

2 max full caps of Tide with Acti-Lift

1 max full cap of liquid Oxiclean

1 Tide stain booster tab

1 max full cap Clorox 2

1 Oxiclean booster tab

and 1 magic eraser for the dryer

I know it sounds like overkill...and I'm not sure if just the Tide would have worked but my clean clothes are proof that the concoction worked!!

PS. I will be checking pockets from now on :)

Ashley's New Vocabulary

Ashley's vocabulary has doubled this week. One night while she was taking an oatmeal bath (for her eczema) I thought I would record some of the names she could FINALLY say. She is so cute yelling through the house yelling for Addison. I love her little voice!

Chuck E. Cheese

We celebrated Addison's birthday Thursday night at Chuck E. Cheese. We had a wonderful time playing games, eating pizza and cake. The funny thing about the whole night was pretty much all of the kids were scared of Chuck E. Cheese when he came out to sing. Oh well! We still had fun. Addison loved every minute of the evening and her favorite part of the evening she said was, "playing with my friends and the ticket air game!" Addison and I had a chance to catch tickets in the ticket blaster machine. It so much fun but a lot harder than it looked that's for sure. We barely caught any tickets. Thanks to our family and friends who came to celebrate Addison's fourth birthday!
