Vacuuming Fool!

Last weekend my sister and my friends from the town we used to live in threw a shower for Hudson. It was so great to see them again. We have been so blessed by their friendships and their support of our adoption. My sister asked if everyone would give money towards a new vacuum cleaner for us....we felt incredibly blessed by their generous gift. Yesterday I was able to go buy the new vacuum. My house feels sooooooo wonderfully clean! Like I had said--the floors were icky!!! (Lindsey--our sw, if you are reading this please disregard this comment as something that should be noted in our post placement) :) Having a bunch of kiddos and a dog leads to one needing a good vacuum! It's all good now!

Today I spent the morning as a vacuuming fool! Hudson was in the sling (he fussed if I put him anywhere else) and I had some jammin' KJ-52 on in my ears! I looked pretty funny doin' the white-girl-30- year-old-dancin'-to-the-music-that-no-one-else-but-me-can-hear-while-manuvering-the-vacuum-around-the-house dance. But wanna know something...I had a blast! :)

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to all of you who donated to making our house a clean environment for the little dude! And thank you for celebrating Hudson's arrival into our family! We are so blessed to have you as our family and friends!!!!

Yeah...the vacuum is an ok gift...but a maid service for the next 4 years would've been even better! :)

Heather said...

Do you wanna bring your new vacuum over to my house???

First, I'd have to see you try it out in every room to make sure that it works as good as you say it does and then...we could make a synchronized vacuuming video and put it on youtube and we could be famous together!!

I agree with the maid idea but actually my 17-year-old son vacuums for us.

Hey, your girls look about the age of my readers. Check out the girls' blog at http://just4christiangirls.blogspot.com./

There is something so wonderful and great about vacuuming...and using a new one - how fun!!! :-)

It was so great to see you and your crew...

Look forward to yours and Heather's vacuuming video...wow, the videos that need to be made (singing, dancing, and now vacuuming!)! :-)

Have I ever told you that I have been through 3 vacuums since August. Lets just say, my undies will no doubt burn out a vacuum motor in no time(don't ask how that happened) and that halloween candy is not good for hoovers!

Christin said...

So, what...we get no video of you dancing around to silent music while vaccuming?! Bummer.

We love KJ too. Cool that Hudson loves being in a sling next to you. That is so precious!

I am rejoicing with you on the vacuum! I love to have clean floors...dust could be 4 inches thick on my bookshelves but if my floor is just vacuumed it feels like my house is clean. Dusting is overrated anyway.

Clifford vacuums.

Mabel watches her stories on the TV.

That is how the world works.

Laura Lu said...

Oh but Mabel...I have dusted the house with my new spify vac! So dusting is totally not overated with this beauty!

Pardon me, but Clifford clearly overstepped his bounds. I have no idea what he's talking about. The only screen I'm glued to all day is this one.....

You dont know me but my sister linked me to your blog. She knows you through homeschooling and she knows I love to read about peoples REAL lives, lol. I read about your de-lurking week and few weeks past and thought I'd drop you a quick note. Your children are all beautiful and that son yours is adorable! How blessed you are! God Bless and I look forward to reading more about you. :)

You were listening to what!?!?!

When was I replaced?

Incognito said...

I love it!!! Your smile is so contagious! Love reading your blog and love the pics!

Sean and Lisa said...

Ok I know you are enjoying that new vacuum cleaner and that you are probably able to eat of the floors they are so clean but could you just take a wee little break and post something? Anything? Please?!
Miss you! :) (Can you tell?)
